Canadian aerospace firm to adopt Siemens NX and Capital to streamline engineering and cut cycle time.
Siemens Digital Industries Software announced that Bombardier is expanding its use of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to support aircraft development and improve product engineering processes in response to current aerospace design requirements.
Bombardier has selected Siemens’ NX software for 3D modeling, simulation and manufacturing during aircraft development and Capital software for electronic/electrical systems design. Bombardier has been a user of Siemens’ Teamcenter software for product lifecycle management (PLM) since 2018. This expansion of Siemens Xcelerator will enable Bombardier to leverage the comprehensive digital twin across the full aircraft lifecycle to improve performance and shorten program cycles. Bombardier is replacing its legacy system so they can create a seamless, integrated digital thread, leveraging Teamcenter as the digital thread backbone, to bring mechanical and electrical design together in a PLM-based collaborative environment.
Bombardier has also adopted Siemens’ Mendix low-code platform. The company’s first Mendix app improves efficiency for end-users with search functionality to connect outside application data with Teamcenter. The Siemens Xcelerator solution improves the quality and security of Bombardier’s data while saving time and effort for the internal IT team.
Collaborating on workforce development
Bombardier is also collaborating with Siemens to reshape the future of its workforce by working with universities and schools to provide students access to Siemens’ software to develop the skills they will need to successfully enter the industry after graduation.
