1 Managing Simulation in the Engineering Enterprise Enterprise Simulation Management - MSC SimManager TM

2 Agenda Business & Engineering Motivation Enterprise Simulation Management SimManager Overview Value: Case Studies Q & A

3 Motivation: Why manage simulation data? Reduce engineering costs Eliminate wasted time spent looking for information Enable reuse Don t do the same thing more than once Modify existing models rather than build from scratch Accelerate and enable innovation Accelerate functional assessment of products Reduce product development time Allow more time for what if studies Enable more thorough understanding of performance Enable Continuous process improvement Test/CAE correlation

4 Managing simulation data is necessary Stored and Organized (folders) Can t reuse what we don t understand Protected (read-only) Available for collaboration (shared drive)??? but not sufficient Can t make decisions based on unknown quality Can t improve an uncontrolled activity

5 Data requires context to be valuable Context Enterprise App Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Product Data Management* (PDM) Simulation Management Data to be Managed Business Transactions Sales Opportunities CAD Files Bill Of Material Models Results Relevant Information Structure Resource Records Customer Records Product Configuration Product Configuration, Performance Metrics, Disciplines Business Logic Work Instructions, Factory Logistics Sales Process (prospect, propose, close) Design & Release Methods and Processes *Typically renamed Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
