Managing Simulation in the Engineering Enterprise

Enterprise Simulation Management - MSC SimManagerTM


Agenda

• Business & Engineering Motivation

• Enterprise Simulation ManagementManagement

• SimManager Overview

• Value: Case Studies

• Q & A


Motivation: Why manage simulation data?

Reduce engineering costs• Eliminate wasted time spent looking for informationEliminate wasted time spent looking for information• Enable reuse

• Don’t do the same thing more than once• Modify existing models rather than build from scratch• Modify existing models rather than build from scratch

Accelerate and enable innovationA l t f ti l t f d t• Accelerate functional assessment of products

• Reduce product development time• Allow more time for “what if” studies• Enable more thorough understanding of performance

• Enable Continuous process improvement• Test/CAE correlation


Managing simulation data is necessary…

• Stored and Organized (folders)

• Can’t reuse what we don’t understand

• Protected (read-only) • Can’t make decisions based on unknown

lit• Available for collaboration (shared drive)

quality

• Can’t improve an uncontrolled activityuncontrolled activity

…but not sufficient???


Data requires context to be valuable
