An End-to-End Solution for Enterprise Simulation Data Management

Simulation Content and Process Management
The key to innovating more and using simulation to strategic advantage is through managed content and processes. SimManager's content management solution enables companies to gain control over all simulation related content including simulation methods and processes, inputs to these processes, outputs from these processes, as well as the information (meta-data) that describes these processes and resources.

Simulation Content Management

• Manages all types of content that is related to simulation (i.e. methods, templates, processes, inputs, outputs and standards used) - not just simulation models or files
• Comprehensive Simulation/CAE data model
• Object lifecycle management
• Secure, role based access control
• Highly configurable UI allowing personalization of views and presenting data in context of simulation revealing critical information (how, who, when, why)
• Powerful data mining capability that taps into simulation metadata allowing users to quickly find the information they need

Process Management & Automation

• Process Builder provides an easy-to-use graphical environment that allows encapsulation of applications, methods, templates and processes to embed company specific simulation workflow without programming expertise.
• Process version control
• Automatic job queuing and submission
• Process chaining/augmentation
• Automatic process data capture (input and output)
• Automated and configurable reporting
• Batch execution

CAE Assembly Management

• Together with SimXpert, SimManager enables engineers to track evolving simulation assembly models over the lifecycle of a product development project
• SimManager maintains model and assembly pedigree and shows how functional performance has driven design decisions
• Using OpenPDM® technology from PROSTEP-AG, SimManager unites the design and analysis communities to ensure that analysts are always working with current design geometry, and that designers have visibility into design validation reports or change recommendations based upon simulation

Systems Engineering Support

• Configurable dashboards
• Comparison of results to targets

Open Framework for PLM Integration

• Enterprise operability (load balancing, failover, multi-site deployment) and unique performance and scalability demands of the simulation domain
• Workgroup to Enterprise scalability
• Native integration with SimEnterprise Solutions (SimXpert, SimDesigner, Adams, Patran, EASY5)
• Web application server integration (WebSphere, JBoss, Tomcat, WebLogic)
• Relational Database integration (DB2, Oracle, SQL Server)
• File management or storage integration (Tivoli, NAS, SAN, HSM)
• Integration with non-MSC applications (any third-party CAE commercial, HPC, RMS, ERP)
• Enterprise Connect powered by PROSTEP OpenPDM (Windchill, Teamcenter, ENOVIA SmarTeam etc.)
