Engineering calculations are at the heart of civil engineering design. The calculation sheets that accompany a project can provide evidence of the design competency and that the specifications are met. Common building calculations are formalized in design guides, such as Eurocodes, AASHTO, IBC etc. The equations tend to be mathematically simple – only needing basic arithmetic operations on the design parameters – but they still require engineering experience to determine the which, why, and when.

There is a revolution underway in the design and construction industry with digital fabrication, modular construction, 3D printing of building components (and even buildings), and robotics playing a larger role in every aspect of the construction process. The instructions for these buildings are evolving from paper-based documentation to digital information that is both human and machine-readable.

SimScale and Digital Engineering conducted a readership survey to obtain a high-level view of how engineers are using both on-premises and cloud-based simulation software. The research found that respondents are using simulation across their design departments and throughout the design cycle on a frequent basis, and analyzing multiple physics.

The pace and degree of digital transformation has accelerated in the past year as businesses were forced to devise newer strategies to ensure business continuity while minimizing the negative impact of the pandemic. Enterprises that had made significant investments in digital technologies were better poised to face the unexpected and rapid changes in business scenarios, whereas those with low digital maturity had to spend a significant part of the early days of the pandemic in transforming their operations to suit the new normal. External factors such as customer needs and requirements, quality, reduction of production and control costs, environmental impact of products, etc., are pushing enterprises to re-evaluate their business strategies. They are continuously striving to find the right balance of increasing the margins of legacy products and to generate revenue growth through investments made towards digital innovation, new products, and services.
