NAFEMS 2020 Vision of Engineering Analysis and Simulation Application and Integration of Digital Simulation Software today • CAE today is increasingly used for initial design, simulation, verification, certification, etc. – including static, (fatigue) strength and vibration analysis, CFD, dynamic systems, plastic deformations (crash), ... – systems engineering, CAD, CAE, CAT, CAM – MDO, multi physics
• However ... – there is no common database that integrates the various digital simulation tools – Just using PDM for CAE can’t satisfy simulation specific requirements
NAFEMS 2020 Vision of Engineering Analysis and Simulation Introduction
• Methods to manage CAD data and processes (PDM) are well established in todays industries
• Consequently these concepts could also be adapted for simulation and test. There are mainly two options: – adopting PDM systems with regards to requirements of the analysis domain – implementing simulation data management (SDM) tools
• The use of different data management tools across domains creates challenges regarding security, ownership, dependency and traceability
• Surveys like the NAFEMS FENet project show the importance of integration aspects, but also their undervalued representation on system level
NAFEMS 2020 Vision of Engineering Analysis and Simulation Top Issues in the CAD/CAE Integration Domain (as identified by FENet)
• Missing Integration of tools for structural analysis and life cycle analysis – geometry, loads, material property databases, …
• Lack of integration of engineering analysis into design and development processes
• Use of incompatible legacy models and data – Need for improved data consistency – Missing use of standards like OMG PLM Services
• Insufficient CAE-to-CAD modification feedback

• Browsing PDM system(s) and export of metadata, structure and geometry, considering version information, last_modified, configuration and effectivities
• Structural data filtering for CAE relevance
• Import of structure/metadata and CAD models into the Simulation Data Management (SDM) system
• Export of analysis results from SDM and import into the PDM system
• Establish links between PDM and CAE – To make metadata, models and simulation results referable – Identify delta and update SDM system with changes on PDM side
