Keynote Presentation: Why 3DEXPERIENCE has Become a Transformative Experience for the Ford Chassis CAE Engineering Team​​​​​​​

Keynote Presenter: Satyendra Savanur, Ford Motor Company

Abstract: Ford Motor Company aims to implement a true digital twin throughout its product lifecycle by utilizing the 3DEXPERIENCE platform's ecosystem. This initiative includes the successful application of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform by Ford's Underbody Systems Team, who have adopted the MODSIM philosophy as part of their journey toward building a digital twin. The Underbody Systems team transitioned from siloed, standalone tools to an integrated 3DEXPERIENCE platform to streamline their simulation engineering workflows. By adopting the Model-Scenario-Result (MSR) Unified Object-Based Data Model, the team established a seamless link between native parametric geometry and simulation models. This integration eliminated the administrative burden of manual file management across disparate storage locations, enabling more expansive design space exploration. Consequently, the unified modeling and simulation approach facilitated advanced Design of Experiments (DOE) and data analytics at every stage of the product development lifecycle. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform enhances Digital Twin management by fostering collaborative workflows, which in turn streamlines production cycles and reduces human errors through a unified data environment.
