Models created from this approach can be efficiently decomposed to allow for collaboration across the engineering departments, the entire business and the supply chain. It is a part of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) that makes it possible to optimize the product by using simulation before the physical product is manufactured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am today\u2019s moderator, Nicholas Finberg of Siemens Global Marketing, and I&#8217;m joined by Tim Kinman, Vice President of Trending Solutions and Global Program Lead for Systems Digitalization at Siemens Digital Industries Software. We are also joined by Ryan Wilkins and Tony Komar, two experts who\u2019ll also be contributing to this important topic. They\u2019ll help us understand requirements-driven design and the functional definition in model-based systems engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, you\u2019ll find out what requirements-driven design entails and its application in the automotive industry. We\u2019ll discuss the importance of supplier collaboration and the role it plays in the product development process. Lastly, you\u2019ll learn how agile development complements the goals of MBSE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What You\u2019ll Learn in this Episode:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The meaning of requirements-driven design (00:41)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How agile development complements MBSE (03:21)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to define functions in MBSE (12:39)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The importance of simulation in MBSE (16:30)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The importance of supplier collaboration in the early stages of product development (21:20)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2021\/09\/tim-kinman2.jpg\" alt=\"Tim Kinman\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Tim Kinman<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <h3>Vice President of Trending Solutions and Global Program Lead for Systems Digitalization at Siemens Digital Industries Software<\/h3>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/tim-kinman-76b67b9\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Tim<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2021\/09\/Siemens-Tony-Komar.jpg\" alt=\"Tony Komar\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Tony Komar<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p>Siemens PLM MBSE Evangelist<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/tony-komar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Tony<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2021\/09\/ryan-wilkins.jpg\" alt=\"Ryan Wilkins\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Ryan Wilkins<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p>Solutions Consultant at Siemens Digital Industry Software<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ryan-wilkins-ba703a56\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Ryan<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2021\/09\/nick-finberg-e1685634578926.jpg\" alt=\"Nick Finberg\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Nick Finberg<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p>Writer, Global Marketing for Siemens Digital Industries Software<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/nicholasfinberg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Nick<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Siemens Digital Industries Software is driving transformation to enable a digital enterprise where engineering, manufacturing and electronics design meet tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xcelerator, the comprehensive and integrated portfolio of software and services from Siemens Digital Industries Software, helps companies of all sizes create and leverage a comprehensive digital twin that provides organizations with new insights, opportunities and levels of automation to drive innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on Siemens Digital Industries Software products and services, visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sw.siemens.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">siemens.com\/software<\/a>&nbsp;or follow us on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/siemens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Siemens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/siemensusa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/siemens\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.
