Pervasive Modeling and Simulation

In the NGM Enterprise, modeling and simulation (M&S)

will reflect a new way of doing business rather
than a supporting technology. It will make virtual
production a reality. All production decisions will
be made on the basis of modeling and simulation
methods, rather than on build-and-test methods.
M&S tools will move from being the domain of the
technologist, to being a tool for all involved in the
product realization, production and business
processes.
Why is it Important?

M&S will eliminate the need for developing

hardware prototypes and allow for lot sizes of
one. This will dramatically decrease time-to-
market for new products and services. It will
provide products and services optimized for
the customer and other stakeholders. It will
require significantly fewer resources in the
development process than build-and-test
methods.
Key Concepts
The entire enterprise, spanning multiple organizations, will be modeled and
simulated prior to production. Tradeoffs will be made at all levels to optimize the
design, the plant, the equipment, and production processes.
Individuals using M&S tools will gain specific knowledge and expertise in product
and production processes. Alternatives can be tried and evaluated. Manufacturing
knowledge will be generated in a similar manner to current production, but in
much less time. The tools will allow the individual to enhance his/her skills, rather
than dictating an action.
M&S will be a key to marketing and sales as well as product realization. It will
allow the customer to interact with the development team in specifying
requirements and the resulting product definition. The customer can use M&S to
test the product before the final design is set.
M&S will become a broad-based industry with a range of products and
services. In addition to application software, geometric models, behavior models,
and simulators for processes and equipment will be available in libraries and in the
marketplace. These software components will be assembled, required simulations
executed, and results will be presented using specialized computer graphics
hardware and software.
Whats New?

All aspects of the enterprise will be modeled and

simulated; and all business and technical decisions
will be made based on the results of the models and
simulations.
Modeling and simulation will be the source of new
manufacturing knowledge and expertise.
M&S information brokers will assist in identifying,
locating, and accrediting models and tools
Modeling and simulation will be a broad-based
industry with a range of products and services to
support NGM Enterprises.
Action Recommendations
1. Increase the number of accessible models for simulation, by
encouraging vendors to provide geometric and behavioral models with
products and establishing national libraries of validated models of
equipment and products.
2. Extend the coverage of commercial software tools to address current
weaknesses in the product/process life cycle including tools for
embedding customer requirements and market analysis, planning and
execution aids, and process optimization into the development process.
3. Support the development of an integrating framework for modeling and
simulation that is necessary to both develop and apply improved modeling
and simulation tools. Develop standards for this framework, using existing
standards where possible.
4. Encourage the establishment of modeling and simulation information
services/brokers.
5. Support fundamental advances in representation and modeling
needed to integrate multiple levels of simulation (discrete, geometric,
physical) to enable virtual product/process/equipment validation.
