The Next Generation of Engineering Analysis Software: Simulation Process Modeling

Alfred J. Svobodnik

Konzept-X

In This presentation will discuss thoughts and aspects of a revolutionary new type of product/service in the field of engineering analysis. While traditional (software or service) products are based on features and functions, we use a different, development cycle oriented, approach for efficiently applying engineering analysis.

Though software forms the basement for our simulation processes, the goals and ultimately the successful application to product improvements are significantly different.

The basic fundaments of this new paradigm of engineering analysis will outlined, as well as a discussion of its significant business benefits.
