(CIMdata: Ann Arbor, MI) -- CIMdata Inc., a leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announced the publication of an e-book, BOM-Driven Digital Mock-Up.

Digital Mock-Up (DMU) is a construct that provides the virtual 3D description of a product throughout its life cycle. The DMU is enhanced by all the activities that contribute to describing the product. Product design, manufacturing, and support engineers work together to create and manage the DMU as the product moves through development—and finally into service. One of the primary objectives of the DMU is to have a virtual definition of the product that replaces the need for a physical prototype. The DMU allows engineers to design and configure complex products and validate their designs without building a physical model. This e-book looks at the solution adopted in Teamcenter, the flagship PLM solution of Siemens Digital Industries Software.
