Workshops
Engage in hands-on exercises, practical applications, and expert-led guidance that bring Model Based Definition to life and equip you with actionable skills for real-world implementation.
Explore the 2026 Workshops
Discover a curated selection of hands-on workshops at the Nordic MBE Forum 2026, held on Day 1, 7 October, at 16:00 – 17:00. Each session is designed to provide practical experience, real-world application, and deeper understanding of Model Based Definition (MBD) and related standards.
Led by industry experts and practitioners, these workshops offer valuable opportunities to build skills, exchange knowledge, and strengthen collaboration across disciplines.
Create Smart MBD Workflow in Your CAD System
ARIADNE Engineering AB, Karl-Henrik Ryttersson
In this workshop you will learn how to define your product in 3D in order to skip 2D drawings and use the data downstream. You will explore how to analyze and capture function, structure 3D information using proper standards, and create machine-readable data.
Creative Problem Solving with TRIZ
ARIADNE Engineering AB, Miroslaw Chamera
An interactive introduction to TRIZ, a methodology for creative problem solving, where innovation theory is combined with practical examples. Systematic innovation is the key to creating new products and gaining market shares.
QIF Hack-a-Thon
Rubypoint, Daniel Campbell
A deeper dive into the QIF format. The basics of QIF will be presented and a number of practical examples will be done by the participants, including building a simple software tool for analysis of inspection results.
MBD Characteristics with NX Designcenter
Siemens, George Rendell
Learn how Siemens supports MBE processes with Designcenter NX, from creating semantic, machine-readable 3D PMI to the concept of MBD characteristics and using data downstream in manufacturing and quality control.
Solve Your Engineering Problem Using Modern Collaboration Tools
ANARK, Patrick Dunfey
Learn how to use modern content-based collaboration tools to cooperate and solve an engineering problem in a group, documenting the process and saving all sessions in a digital thread with the help of ANARK Collaborate.

Common Questions
Find answers to your questions about the workshops, from session topics and formats to materials and registration.
Workshops are interactive and hands-on, allowing participants to actively engage with tools, standards, and methods in practical exercises. Presentations, on the other hand, focus on sharing experiences, strategies, and case studies.
Workshops are designed for professionals at all levels who want to strengthen their practical knowledge of Model Based Definition (MBD), from beginners seeking a foundation to experienced practitioners refining advanced skills.
No. While some familiarity with MBD is helpful, the workshops are structured to accommodate different experience levels. Each session begins with clear introductions before moving into practical applications.
You will gain actionable skills, a deeper understanding of international standards such as ISO GPS and QIF, and insights into practical methods that can be directly applied in your own organization’s digital transformation journey.
Each workshop session is designed to be intensive yet focused. The 2026 workshops run in parallel on Day 1 between 16:00 and 17:00, so participants can learn, practice, and discuss without being overwhelmed.
Yes. Most workshops provide supporting material such as slides, reference guides, or exercise documentation to help you continue learning and applying the concepts after the forum.
