With the recent acquisition of Comet Solutions, Aras is committed to bringing effective SPDM to the Aras Innovator enterprise platform. Enabling simulation results automatically in the product configuration – including variants and options – provides a closed-loop for traceability to reduce physical testing, verify requirements and improve design-space exploration. Aras views better tool chaining and data management of simulation results as foundational to Digital Thread enablement and strategic initiatives such as additive manufacturing, generative design and Digital Twin simulation. In this session, we will present our vision for effective SPDM as part of the enterprise Digital Thread and what you can expect to see in the coming months.
