11 Multi Domain Compute Model Manager = Multi Domain Compute Model Manager allows to: Build & manage simulation models for multi-domain usage Keep data consistency between domains Maintain the link to design data by comparing and updating the simulation model after design changes Perform common operations between domains (for ex: connections integrity or initial penetrations checks) Manage multiple mesh representations per part, allowing different domain users to share data

12 Design change propagation The change in the bumper design is propagated to the relevant input decks

13 Multi Domain Compute Model Manager

14 Process & Workflow Manager Process & Workflow Manager is to overcome these issues Complex Simplifies and Automates the repetitive tasks Force engineers to learn several applications to Single Environment (Visual Environment) achieve a single design objective Et Extensive dt data management Database driven as per best practice Training-intensive Process Guidance Approach Process & Workflow Manager is an enabler of Simulation Based Design More simulations and iterations
