Virtual Product Creation (VPC) capabilities/software

[kqureshi]

Dear VPC Gurus: I would like to start this thread to collect state-of-art simulation capabilities/softwares being used; and how they are being used in various industries/domains such as Auto Industry, aerospace, consumer electronics, bio-engineering, etc. etc. to solve real problems in various phases of product creation such as product planning, design, analysis, manufacturing, etc.

Please chip in whatever you can - thank you All!!
