with the Functional Virtual Prototype Robert R. Ryan President, MDI
Functional Virtual Prototyping ❶ Functional simulation of real-world systems ❽ ❽ ❽ Reduces time-intensive, costly, hardware build-test-refine cycles Improves quality (cut warranty and repair/maintenance costs) Strategic industries: automotive, aerospace/defense, rail, machines
Getting There Faster The goal is to go from 60-some months to 12 and to do what we did last time around for $6 or $7 billion, for $1 billion. Boeing, Commercial Airplane Group
