Many companies have well-defined processes and tools that have been optimized for decades by dedicated resources and throughout specific projects. It\u2019s not obvious to suddenly question those and come up with something new. That requires strong arguments based on solid evidence.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/p>\n

In addition to that, as traditional engineering is often test-centric as opposed to model-centric, the point is hard to make. Because, let\u2019s be honest, what could be more convincing than having a real physical prototype in hands and test it?<\/SPAN><\/P><\/p>\n

And furthermore, companies these days are already overloaded with all these new methods such as MBSE<\/A>, but also systems engineering, application engineering, crowdsourcing, agile, design thinking and more. So how to make such paradigm shifts without damaging business, impacting resources and changing the company culture?<\/P><\/p>\n

Taking all these complexities into consideration, the best advice I can give you is to put MBSE next to your current process<\/A> and give it a try. It may sound like a waste of time and money, but only by running a project in the traditional way while running the same project in parallel using MBSE as implemented in Simcenter, you can truly form yourself an opinion based on facts.<\/P><\/p>\n

The extra effort of executing the same project twice will anyway bring you lots of benefits:<\/P>
