An End-to-End Solution for Virtual Build & Test Management

Virtual Build & Test Data and Process Management
A key to product innovation is to use simulation to understand product behavior in place of physical prototypes to drive design. Simulation process innovation helps save time and cost, resulting in competitive advantage. SimManager's content management solution enables companies to gain control over all virtual build and test related content including simulation data, methods, and processes.

Simulation Content Management

• Manages all types of content that is related to simulation (i.e. spreadsheets, documents, methods, templates, scripts, and applications) - not just simulation models and results files
• Comprehensive and extensible Simulation/CAE data model
• Object lifecycle management
• Secure, role-based access control
• Configurable UI allowing personalization of views to present data in context of the role of the user
• Powerful data mining capability that taps into simulation meta data and results to allow users to quickly find the information they need

• Process Builder provides an easy-to-use graphical environment that allows encapsulation of applications, methods, templates and scripts to author company specific simulation processes without programming expertise
• Process version control
• HPC job submission via commercial queuing systems
• Process chaining/augmentation
• Automatic process data capture, including inputs and outputs
• Configurable reporting
• Batch process execution

• SimManager's Integrated Client technology enables engineers to publish and retrieve models and results from within popular pre- and post-processors - including MSC, third party, and in-house developed applications
• SimManager maintains model and assembly pedigree and shows how functional performance has driven design decisions
• Using OpenPDM® technology from PROSTEP-AG, SimManager can exchange product structure and part data used for analysis with virtually any PDM system

• Configurable dashboards
• Comparison of simulation results to performance requirement targets
• Reporting of project completion status

• Workgroup to company-wide scalability
• J2EE n-tier architecture designed to meet the unique performance and scalability demands of the simulation domain, including load balancing, failover, and multi-site deployment
• Native integration with MSC Solutions (i.e. SimXpert, SimDesigner, Adams, Patran, EASY5)
• Integrated Client API for native integration with third party and in-house applications (i.e. UG NX, Ansys Workbench, etc.)
• Web application server integration (i.e. WebSphere, JBoss, Tomcat, WebLogic)
• Relational Database integration (i.e. DB2, Oracle, SQL Server)
• File system management, storage integration, and backup and restore (i.e. Tivoli, NAS, SAN, HSM)
• Enterprise Connect powered by PROSTEP OpenPDM (i.e. Windchill, Teamcenter, ENOVIA SmarTeam etc.)
