Improve Data Confidence
Topic
Today
Vision
Participation of CAE data &
structure in the Data Management
environment
CAE is usually outside of any data
management structure
CAE will be able to participate in data
management environment, which is
standard practice for CAD today
CAD/BOM alignment with CAE
information based on same data
CAE BOM generated by expert
Concept CAE BOM does not feed CAD
BOM
CAD information is passed to CAE
environment without real product structure
understanding/organization due to the
absence of CAE data management
Alignment of CAD and CAE will enable
rapid generation of Finite Element
Models with appropriate orientations
and structures, by performance
attribute
Changes/Updates to CAD that
automatically flow into the CAE
structure
When changes are made in CAD they are
difficult to follow through to the CAE
process without a complete rework of the
CAE model
With the alignment of CAD & CAE,
changes will enable rapid update of the
CAE representation with assurance of
up-to-date geometry & configuration
with the CAD structure.
Delivering results to the enterpriseResults from Simulation are either stored
locally or on DVD, leaving only the final
report.
Simulation results are attached directly
with the product structure so that 3-D
results information may be viewed with
standard viewer technology
Its not just the right data
but the right data for the right analysis
Simulation leads and follows Design

Why do we want to create a
Simulation Structure?

Simulation may lead or
validate design.

Parallel lifecycle

Concurrent, engineering.

CAE user can determine their
lifecycle needs independent
of the design lifecycle.

CAD/CAE Model pedigree
Simulation structure relationships organized
differently to design.
Parts may have different mesh
representationsfor different analysis types
Some parts are not needed for analysis for
certain analysis (or sometimes any analysis)
Some analysis specific information are not
part of the design product structure
