Models have demonstrated proven benefits in specific aspects of the engineering process. Mechanical models, performance models, algorithmic models, systems engineering architecture models and others have proven useful and even perhaps indispensable. Models provide value at different points in the lifecycle with some supporting design and architecture while others simulate and evaluate aspects of the new product or system.   The panel and paper will explore the question, "what will be needed to build a virtual product using comprehensive, multi-domain ( big ) models?" What new processes, concepts and frameworks must be embraced and what old ones must be discarded?
