New technologies are emerging, particularly around autonomous operation and power sources that are increasingly electrified. This has the effect of bringing much more complexity into machines than ever before. Increasing the challenge for manufacturers, there is more competitive pressure than ever. Not only do they need to design and build machines that are more innovative and complex, they need to do it in a reduced time frame while maintaining quality and performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are several short excerpts from the on-demand webinar <a href=\"https:\/\/webinars.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/heavy-equipment-cad-software-with-vehicle-design-automation-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A comprehensive digital solution to heavy equipment design challenges<\/a>.

Existing <a href=\"https:\/\/content.sw.siemens.com\/accelerate-heavy-equipment-design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">equipment design<\/a> methods, where each discipline works independently and integration happens at the end of the process, are not sufficient to deliver new, complex machines in a timely, competitive manner. Each discipline, from mechanical to electrical, electronic, and software, must work together in a concurrent manner from the same data set with full visibility of the complete design at all times. Breaking down the barriers between disciplines is essential to delivering the advanced heavy equipment of the future while maintaining quality and minimizing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A complete end-to-end solution<\/strong> <strong>with multi-disciplinary design optimization<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Siemens offers a complete, multi-disciplinary design optimization and engineering platform, built on Siemens Xcelerator. This platform enables you to go from customer and government requirements to concept design, all the way through to the finished machine operating in the field. Built on proven technology, this cloud-enabled solution uses a single source of data throughout the engineering process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working from the same data set improves collaboration and integration while reducing errors and costly rework. It also eliminates the need for time-consuming, error-prone translation. Collaboration is further enhanced with an immersive design environment that helps everyone to see the whole design in context. Enabled by proven mechanical design with NX, electrical design with Capital, and data management with Teamcenter, only Siemens offers a complete, end-to-end solution for engineering the complex <a
