Systems modelling, ‘systems thinking’ and systems-driven engineering are topics of frequent discussion among professionals engaged in the engineering of many discretely manufactured products today. But how many engineering organisations have actually succeeded in implementing a consistent, sustained culture of simulation-led engineering practices grounded in system-level physical modelling and simulation software technology? And how did they do it? In this report, we identify key technological, as well as business and competitive factors driving use of these tools and methods at today’s level.
