CIMdata Initiates Digital Collaboration Market Research

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - June 16, 2021 - PRLog -- CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces a new market research effort and invites the participation of industry in a web-based survey on the current state of digital collaboration between the engineering simulation and analysis community and other product development disciplines.

There is much discussion these days about digital transformation, model-based engineering, and simulation-driven design. The business driver is for engineers and managers across the multiple disciplines involved in product development to use interactive 3D digital models instead of static 2D drawings, spreadsheets, and text-based documents to collaborate and make better and faster design decisions based on physics-based CAE/simulation and related physical test information.

The objectives of this survey are to:

1.     Understand to what extent companies are using 3D digital CAE models and related information to enable collaborative decision-making with the other product development disciplines.

2.     Identify industry best practices and potential areas for improvement.

The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete. Respondents will receive access to a CIMdata Commentary highlighting the market survey results and may enter a drawing for a $10 gift card. Responses will be held in the strictest confidence and not attributed to any person or company.
