Breakout sessions included in the Analyze & Simulate track are focused on the processes, methods and tools for modeling and synthesis of engineering systems and for engineering analysis and simulation of products. Typical sessions describe end-user scenarios of how realistic simulations are developed to depict a product's physical behavior including static, dynamic, mechanical and thermal operating-load environments, as well as the performance of ergonomic studies for a product's assembly, operation and maintenance. Techniques that are covered include finite element analysis of structural components, fluid dynamics, kinematics, multi-body dynamics, multi-disciplined optimization of a product's shape, performance, cost and knowledge-based engineering as related to the functional performance of a product. Best practices are shared for virtually simulating and optimizing products by accommodating multiple concurrent, and generally conflicting, operational requirements of a product.

The Data Management & Collaboration track relates to how any type of data (and related information) is stored and utilized in any system by means of processes and/or tools:

This new expanded community of practice addresses the installation, configuration, distribution and administration of Dassault Systèmes Applications.  This division also covers the development of applications and tools for the automation tasks within these applications.  This includes the complementary tools and heterogeneous environments that are the reality of our IT infrastructure and program development within our companies.  You will learn techniques for deploying and maintaining Dassault Systèmes Applications: learn about the latest in both client & server hardware and also address the installation, configuration, and distribution of environments.  Product licensing, licensing tools, and license server configuration are also topics of interest to this COE community.  You will also have the opportunity to learn about advances in Knowledge Based Engineering to capture and reuse corporate design, analysis and manufacturing expertise.

Are you a trailblazer, focused on cultural change, driving innovation, a decision-maker, a future leader? Today, almost all products are a mixture of mechanical, electrical, and software components. While the products become more complex, customer expectations become more personal and change quickly. The Business Transformation track is one day of special programming for the business leaders of today and tomorrow, providing insight and knowledge about how technological, cultural, and industry-based disruptions are changing the way products are designed and delivered. The track consists of five to six-panel discussions with industry and academic experts within our community discussing the 3DEXPERIENCE approach. 

“It is an excellent opportunity to share knowledge and understand better the industry's technological path and challenges.”  – Auro Chagas, Senior Product Engineer, Embraer

The Manufacturing track will follow your entire manufacturing processes from concurrent product definition to shop floor graphic work instructions.  This will allow manufacturers in any industry to virtually define, plan, create, monitor and control all production processes.  Our topics focus on solving your challenges, whether it's an implementation on a large scale or generating, simulating, and optimizing tool paths from various domain experts. We will explore these experiences and technologies using Dassault Systèmes Manufacturing Lifecycle Management (MLM).

Sub Categories 

• Manufacturing Processes (MAN)
• Numerical Controls & Robotics (NCR)
• Manufacturing Execution (MANE)
• Additive Manufacturing (ADM)
• Tool Design (TD)
• Digital Numerical Control (DNC)
• Digital Manufacturing (DMFG)
• Quality Management (QM)

The Design track covers the applications and processes for product development from conceptual design to release. Sessions will address optimizing your design practices to maximize the performance of CATIA and the CAA partner products. Topics include a product development view of optimizing engineering information for a PDM, V5, V6, 3DEXPERIENCE Deployment, and meeting the requirements of the extended enterprise.

MBSE on the 3D Experience platform has the potential for providing significant insights into what our real product requirements are. It provides a framework for linking those requirements to product functions and helps us organize these elements into Functional, Logical & Physical architectures for trade study analysis.

• Addressing need to manage increased complexities with system &  system of systems definition
• Addressing requirement verification challenges through product qualification/certification
• Leveraging simulation & automation of virtual product testing in advance of physical testing prior to production
• Addressing analysis of product architectures trade studies for optimizing design concept architectures
• Architectural Centric Virtual Integration Process (ACVIP):  Demonstrate how to leverage this concept with the 3DX Platform
