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 NAFEMS 2020 Visionhttp://www.fe-net.org/ of Engineering Analysis and Simulation © PROSTEP AG Enterprise Application Integration for Technical Product Data – Current Situation • Design integration over different locations Location Meta information Org C X Org C CAD X exchanged between PDM systems, but always remains Design Information within the design Org B Org B domain Y CAD Y Org A – scope stays CAD Z unchanged Org A One major type of Z design tool: the “CAD system” – high information x CAD System x content overlap Design Engineering Scope NAFEMS 2020 Vision of Engineering Analysis and Simulation Enterprise Application Integration for Technical Product Data – A new Situation • Integration over different domains and semantic breaks Location Common Product Information Org C Engineering Simulation Testing Org B Design Product Information Org A 1 Z 3 2 5 A complete 4 new level of x Simulation Tool x complexity!
