Analysis of the impact of CAE utilization at design stage on product development

While firms need to reform their product development process in response to the shortening product life cycle, digital manufacturing tools are expected to be powerful driver for achieving the purpose. We show the possibility that organizational learning of CAE utilization at later stage such as prototyping may sometimes become obstacles to achieving up-front engineering since the required capability for CAE at earlier stage is different from that at the later stage.
