In the future the aim of simulation will be to develop & improve a whole product, not just separate components individually-a systems-based approach. This will require a complete rethink of current, conventional, simulation process chains encompassing geometry, meshing, CFD/FEA & post-processing. The NASA 2030 Vision 1 study has charted a Roadmap to this new world; the aim of this paper is to set out work we have completed, are performing at the moment & are planning in support of this Vision. Our work makes contributions to geometry, geometry & meshing integration, geometry editing & management, meshing itself, coupling with simulation & post-processing. Examples are given to illustrate our thinking.
