The more complex the production line and the engineering process, the greater the demand for simulation software. At the same time, AspenTech developed a solution for Fluor, an engineering and construction firm, to demonstrate that its sulfur tracking technologies help gas plants meet environmental requirements. Dassault Systèmes is helping Global Trailers accelerate the processes for bringing new trailers to market. Notable use cases for simulation software include AnyLogic helping General Dynamic (NASSCO) improve its handling of the thousands of parts flowing though their shipyards and Siemens modelling Electrolux’s factories to identify operational efficiencies. Simulation software can also be used to simulate how components work together in creating new products and simulating process flows to demonstrate compliance,” explains Michael Larner, Principal Analyst at ABI Research. “But now, new use cases have proven that by investing in simulation software, manufacturers can identify and solve issues in advance. That is because downtime is costly in terms of operational efficiencies and a manufacturer’s reputation is on the line if customer orders are delayed. Often manufacturers invest in simulation software only when there is uncertainty about making changes to a production line or when building a brand-new line is too expensive. These new uses will spur manufacturer’s spend on simulation software to US$2.6 billion in 2025, according to a new report from global tech market advisory firm, ABI Research.
Today, it is utilized to test new concepts, accelerate product development, and demonstrate regulatory compliance. Traditionally, simulation software was only used to tweak production lines.
