Predictive product modeling allows engineers to immediately test out their designs in a simulated environment and help them identify problems or see ways in which the design can be iteratively and quickly improved and refined. New technology allows engineers to create photo-realistic images and video of designed products before they are built.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mdx2.plm.automation.siemens.com\/blog\/author\/Jean-Claude%20Ercolanelli\">Jean-Claude Ercolanelli<\/a>, senior VP of Product Management at Siemens PLM Software, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engineering.com\/DesignSoftware\/DesignSoftwareArticles\/ArticleID\/14428\/Understand-and-Communicate-Product-Performance-with-Photo-Realistic-Simulation-Results.aspx\">said that<\/a> &#8220;engineers are also increasingly called upon to communicate their results across their organizations, to people who have little direct exposure to interpreting simulation results. Such functionality &#8230; facilitates this communication using \u00a0simulation models that not only behave like their real-world counterparts, but also present a precise visual representation,
