Tool Map

Road Map

To predict the tire performance and suggest the

design direction by providing the multiple disciplinary

simulation environment

- Investigate and rearrange existing or developing

simulation tools

- Align with the tire development process

- Check the accuracy, tendency and frequency in

use of the simulation tools

- Illustrate all information for each simulation tool

such as inputs, outputs and execution procedures

VECS Simulation Template

Simulation Template

Capture the best practices and intellectual property

Create by standardization and formalization of the simulation execution process

Allow a user who doesn’t have engineering knowledge to carry out the whole process and acquire

consistent outcomes

Template in the SCE V6R2009

It doesn’t support the parallel execution of “Simulation Activity”

It can’t add “Simulation Activity” depending on the conditions

It doesn’t support the conditional running of the process

NO

VECS Key Results Database

Key Results Database

One of the main objectives of VECS construction is simulation data management.

The simulation results created in VECS are quite huge and occupy a large amount of

the storage capacity due to the system is used by multiple users simultaneously.

ODB file is converted into the small size text or image file through the post-processing

using Abaqus python scripting.

SCE provides “Export/Import Rule” at the “Simulation Activity” to be able to move

these files into the “Simulation Document”

We extracted key attributes from the contents of the results and stored them

as key results and finally they could be restored in the database.

We are able to easily search and analyze analysis data and it is possible to connect

them with design or test data.

Requirements for SLM OOTB Enhancement

Solution Integration

Synchronization

- Currently, the SLM solution is connected by several products (SCE, SEE, Isight, …)

- So, one product cannot completely control the function of the others.

Limitation of loosely coupled Isight integration

- Isight Runtime Gateway’s functions are very useful to novice users but are not

implemented in the SCE web UI

Simplification of licensing policy

- The SLM solution is managed by different licenses for each product

Utilities for System Administrator

License Management

- Administrator mode that can manage the simulation license or tell how many licenses

are available

Job Maintenance

- Monitor and control the entire simulation jobs on the system



Future Work

VECS projects are currently underway

VECS will support

- Decision Support through collaboration with Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA

- Association of the test data and PLM product information/process
