Engineering teams are leveraging cloud-native CAE tools to obtain faster insights in their product development and rapidly develop competitive products. Designers have access to robust end-to-end design, simulation and optimization tools in a web browser leading to the advent of the all-cloud engineering software stack. This makes it easy to provide global teams with access to simulation tools early in the product life cycle and disrupts traditional R&D workflows. Buhler, a leading global engineering organization with more than 10K employees, develops products in diverse industries, including automotive, energy, healthcare and advanced materials. It has given access to cloud-native simulation to its globally distributed workforce of engineers and designers whose job it is to stay at the forefront of research and development. Deploying advanced analysis capabilities at an enterprise level at scale is straightforwardly achieved without any additional hardware. Engineers can use simulation through a web browser, on demand, on a daily, weekly or monthly basis without any capacity limitations. This ability also enables them to scale usage when needed, every engineer can simulate simultaneously. This presentation shows how a large group of engineers globally adopted and deployed simulation tools to collaborate on research and development. We will show how engineering teams have benefitted from access to simulation via a simple login, with moderated simulation management provided by enterprise-level administration and collaboration features. These are critical to unlocking deployment at scale by aligning with organizational information and systems policies and also serve to moderate computational resources and cost. All users can access the types of simulations they need, including CFD and FEA and instantly share projects with colleagues or other stakeholders with a button. The results show a clear benefit of using simulation across the business. Quantifying the business benefits of a robust and embedded simulation strategy shows a top-line improvement in the cost of goods sold through faster design convergence, performance verification of early product designs, and reduced physical prototyping costs. The impact on the bottom line is immediate, with savings made in switching to an all-cloud software stack and avoiding the high hardware and licensing fees of traditional simulation methods.
