1 Siemens PLM portfolio for BDSS Accurate Prediction Collaboration and Linking Materials Data Management Decision Making / Optimization Realize Innovation.

2 Business Decision Support System (BDSS) - Requirements & Solutions BDSS Requirements Accurate 3D CAE Product Performance Prediction with Minimal Testing Collaboration & Linking of projects and activities across the enterprise Materials Data Management Decision Making and Product Optimization Siemens PLM Solutions Simcenter 3D with Virtual Material Characterization Teamcenter Teamcenter Integrated Materials Management (IMM) link to Granta MI HEEDS Page 2

3 Business Decision Support System (BDSS) - 5 points to describe our BDSS 5 points to describe our BDSS Siemens PLM Solutions 1. Tell us about your decision-making tool and how it integrates materials modelling outcomes 2. What models are integrated in your BDSS? 3. Who are the main actors using the BDSS and what type of projects do they use it for? 4. What are the main benefits, or KPIs, linked with integrating material model output with business decisions? 5. Is your BDSS working successfully to include materials modelling outcomes? See previous slide it s a combination of tools (Simcenter 3D including VMC Teamcenter including IMM HEEDS) Simcenter 3D addresses continuum models, but is open to receive predictive inputs from discrete levels. Teamcenter is open to all data, and HEEDS can link to any data/model. CAE analysts, CAE engineers, materials engineers, design engineers, Shorter model preparation time, higher quality models, better product performance decisions, shorter design cycles, shorter time to market for end user products,. Yes success is to deliver materials decisions and product value to the industrial end users. Page 3

10 Collaboration and Linking: Teamcenter Connect more people to the data they need Connect all users to relevant product data and processes Empower users to reach beyond their own functional boundaries to share information Page 11

11 Collaboration and Linking: Teamcenter - Reach Beyond Functional Boundaries - Connect people to the data they need Enterprise wide access to data Designs everyone has access to designs and designers have access to PLM Documents everyone understands specifications and requirements BOMs everyone knows what's in the product Change more people participate and more data is gathered Reporting Everyone can see the big picture with on-demand reports Page 12

12 Materials Data Management How to generate, store & use data? From raw test data Or data sheet From Simulation: VMC Manufacturing Simulation Data Management and Parameter Identification (PI) Updating input data for optimisation Performance Simulation Static Damage Durability etc. Page 14

14 Decision Making: HEEDS Discover Better Designs, Faster! Multidisciplinary Design Exploration Platform High level of automation. Leverage HPC infrastructure Large ecosystem of integrated solvers. Connect to any inhouse application Multidisciplinary optimization. Optimize any parameter including CAD or mesh morphing shape parameters Rapid attainment of optimal designs considering competing objectives - no need for search algorithm selection and tuning thanks to proprietary technology Strong data mining capabilities. Sensitivity, robustness, and trends analysis In PLM context, configurations are stored, managed and can be reused Easy to use no need to be an optimization specialist Easy to deploy across organizations I was often asked what type of design search strategy should be applied to a problem and my answer was it depends I no longer have to answer this question because HEEDS does the work for you. Douglas Zhu, Honeywell Aerospace Page 17

15 Decision Making: HEEDS Innovative Products and Technologies Measurements Data Data interdependency Math model creation Sensitivity assessment Test matrix definition CAD data Parametric geometry Simulation data Simulation model prediction improvement Test / Simulation data correlation Performance improvement Robustness assessment Geometry, material, manufacturing, load case dispersion Product Innovation Page 18 Bidirectional Data Workflow Automation

16 Decision Making: HEEDS New Paradigm for Design Exploration Traditional Process Define Objectives Baseline model Variables Responses Objectives Constraints Simplify Model Either: Limit Variables and/or Fit Response Surface Model (DOE/RSM) Select Algorithm Gradient search Genetic algorithm Particle swarm Ant colony Simulated anneal Etc. Tune Algorithm Population size # of generations Crossover rate Mutation rate Selection type Etc. Conduct Search Interpret Results Requires Expertise Steep learning curve Limited deployment 19 Page Modern Process (HEEDS SHERPA) Define Objectives Baseline model Variables Responses Objectives Constraints Automated Search Select number of evaluations Run optimization Interpret Results Optionally: Study robustness & sensitivity of optimal design(s) HEEDS surpasses anything on the market in its ability to help us drive innovation. -- Anders Ahlström, Scania Truck No optimization expertise required-time Savings Discover Better Designs, Faster Any engineer can use Adoption in a matter of few days Global deployment
