Digital transformation of engineering practice has accelerated the integration and automation of design processes. Changes in a digital asset1 that defines, in part or in full, a design can now trigger automated workflows involving a range of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools2 to validate features such as performance, manufacturability, cost and sustainability. This is referred to herein as the Digital Thread.
