Leveraging MBD with Cost Modeling
Leveraging MBD in downstream systems at Cisco Systems.
The transition to Model-Based Design (MBD) enables many digital opportunities including digital DfM and Cost Analysis. As part of the Cisco Systems transition to MBD, we have included parameters used in downstream analyses for Should Cost and Design for Manufacturability checks. By including parameters that drive modeling automation, we are helping to drive better design decisions early in product development. By configuring UDAs in aPriori to read MBD parameters, Design Engineers can get a quick initial cost estimate with just a single click a button. This encourages early engagement and collaboration between Design and Manufacturing Engineers, and provides early design feedback to help drive key design decisions before prototyping.

His focus at Cisco has been in New Product Introduction and Mechanical Innovation. He has implemented enterprise-wide search software, has worked on PDM transition to Agile, and recently, he has been focused on design verification and leveraging Model Based Design principles.
3D Collaboration & Interoperability Congress
The 3D Collaboration & Interoperability Congress (3D CIC) focuses on 3D CAD collaboration and interoperability for the entire product lifecycle. The 2018 theme of Enterprise Accountability will bring together real users to share experiences and learn about the topics of Culture & Champions, Quality, and Manufacturing. 3D CIC 2018 will be held October 15-18, 2018 at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden, Colorado.
