In a time of growing system complexity and dynamic requirements, Dr Alexander Nyßen presents current and future developments in the field of systems engineering tooling. The presentation will highlight how existing weaknesses in today's tools can be recognised and compensated for by new approaches and technologies. Dr Nyßen shows which trends are emerging in the automotive industry and how these developments are paving the way for innovations in the defence sector. A look into the future shows how toolmaking must continue to develop in order to meet increasing demands and ensure both efficiency and quality in complex development projects.
