As innovations in product development and the digitalization of everything continue, the challenge to ensure and improve simulation capability is key to product design quality assurance.

Trends such as digitalization, democratization and the data deluge of IoT are placing increased stress on simulation confidence and credibility. Simulations are to be embedded in other tools (e.g., generative design in CAD) and used by many non-experts. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning propose data-based “simulations” that challenge usual approaches to V&V and UQ. Simulation is acritical and essential strategic capability across the company, and not the exclusive province of specialist simulation groups in product engineering and manufacturing.

Our panel of experts discussed these and other governance challenges to ensure simulation quality and accuracy. Following initial questions from the Moderator, the Panel addressed questions and comments from the audience.
