Modeling and simulation put emphasis on early planning.

The shift to model-based design and simulation is changing the way aircraft are designed, shifting the focus to the early phases of development. Early planning is critical for success, as is establishing techniques that ensure that files move freely between various work teams.

Companies throughout the transportation field are leading the transition to 3-D model-based designs. Some are eschewing 2-D drawings, using only models.
