This keynote speech by Dr. Clas Jacobson was recorded by Modelon on 12 of March 2014 at the 10th International Modelica Conference in Lund, Sweden.
Dr. Clas Jacobson shares experiences and a visionary outlook based on 15 years of using the Modelica open-standard in product development at United Technologies Corporation. United Technologies with over 200,000 employees researches and develops high-technology products in numerous areas, including aircraft engines, helicopters, HVAC, fuel cells, elevators and escalators, fire and security, building systems, and industrial products, among others.
This video is highly recommended for anyone with interest in the role and use of Modelica in demanding product development programs and the industrial potential of this model-based technology.
The talk focuses on systems engineering in the industrial context and with analytical application in product development. The four elements of systems engineering are discussed: (1) Requirements, (2) Architecture, (3) Model Based Development and (4) Design Flows. Lessons learned from using Modelica in several industrial case studies are reviewed, spanning from fuel cell applications to refrigeration systems and “more electric” aircraft.
The classical “Design V” is discussed and put in context of a model-based methodology. Industrial needs beyond current common use of Modelica are presented and posed as opportunities to the community for wider & deeper deployment of the technology: robust design, critical parameter management, formal verification, architectures, etc.
Dr. Jacobson concludes with: “Computational engineering today is the ticket to play!”
Dr. Jacobson is Chief Scientist for the United Technologies Systems & Controls Engineering (UTSCE) organization. In this role he works with the UTC business units to ensure capability in systems engineering and controls is available for product development. Prior to his role as Chief Scientist for UTSCE he worked as the Chief Scientist, Controls for UTC and before that at the United Technologies Research Center (UTRC) in management and technical positions since 1995.

When I started my PhD in 2014 I saw the same opportunity with DFSS you described in this video, but for noise issues. We are in 2018 and we still don´t have this culture in most of the companies and universities. It is a great opportunity of cost reduction and quality improvement.
