Thanks for all responses. JNieman - I agree with your points - MBD does look very good for product definition per se. But how about the downstream entities in the enterprise - the shop-floor, for example? Now you will need completely CNC equipped shops that don't need technicians to read...
I would like to learn from the experts in this forum what they think about the new trend of "MBD" or "Model Based Design/Definition". Does it really make sense in the long term?
