Trend 14 ~ Modeling and Simulation (M&S): The process of creating and analyzing a prototype of a physical model to predict its performance in the real world. Simulation modeling uses a digital prototype to help designers and engineers understand whether, under what conditions, and in which ways a part could fail and what loads it can withstand. Simulation modeling can also help predict fluid flow and heat transfer patterns. Necessary Skills and Knowledge 3D Printing Augmentation Artistic Connected Systems Experience CAD- SolidWorks/ProE/Catia/NX Generative Design Hybrid Manufacturing Industrial Design Information Technology/Software Programming Integrated Value Stream Mapping Visibility Predicative Simulation Quantitative Modeling Prediction: Manufacturing will never again be concentrated in one area of the globe as there will always be a need for it locally.
