4 Survey questions Where do you store your simulation data (Local/PLM/Shared drives) Are you able to find past simulation data easily? How much time typically do you spend in looking for past simulations that you/your colleagues created? Are you able to collaborate with your onsite/off site colleagues? Do you have a standard work practices/templates that you use for a mature simulation? If so would you like to convert it in to a vertical application/template? Do you use compute cluster/rsm/queuing systems for running simulations? If so, would you like to track your work and be able to differentiate multiple runs? 4 ANSYS, Inc. September 22,

10 Meta Data Extraction Download Upload As a dedicated specialist in the field of simulation, ANSYS knows what types of data is most likely to be searched. (Large file > 50MB) boundary conditions, solver settings, material data, etc.. Geometry Results Simulation Meta Data (Small file <10KB) EKM Database Large files put in repository Meta data copied to database Meta data information can be configured User defined meta data can be added User s Machine 10 ANSYS, Inc.
