(CIMdata: Ann Arbor, MI) -- CIMdata Inc., a leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free webinar, “Physics-Based Simulation Software: Consolidation Implications for Industry.” The one-hour webinar, hosted by members of CIMdata’s Simulation-Driven Systems Development Consulting Practice, will take place Thursday, Feb. 27, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern.

Consolidating the engineering software industry is reshaping the landscape of physics-based simulation. As competing providers merge and expand their offerings, companies must navigate overlapping PLM, PDM/MCAD, EDA/MBSE, and MCAE solutions. This webinar explores the challenges and opportunities this evolving environment presents, from managing software integration conflicts to leveraging AI, analytics, and simulation for enterprise digital transformation.

This webinar will help attendees to:
• Learn about best practices for evaluating the current maturity level of modeling and simulation tools within a digital engineering approach context.
• Identify and assess gaps in existing software tools to determine whether to improve them or integrate multiple solutions from different providers.
• Define meaningful metrics to measure the benefits of implementing simulation, data analytics, and data management digitalization initiatives.
• Understand the benefits and costs of platform consolidation.

CIMdata president and CEO Peter Bilello says, “‘Follow the money’ is a simple yet very important phrase in the industrial software world. Recent acquisitions, especially those involving the S&A domain, have been significant and clearly point to the importance of better integration among PLM solutions that support the design and life cycle simulation of complex systems. Understanding the reasons and a resulting value will be critical for companies that want to be successful moving forward.”

This webinar is perfect for managers in charge of digital transformation and digital engineering projects, including model-based systems engineering (MBSE); managers and technical experts leading physics-based simulation and analysis (S&A) teams; managers overseeing physical testing and verification/validation (V&V) efforts aimed at product performance and quality assessment; and those engaged in data analytics and AI/ML initiatives that implement physics-based digital twins.
