The MSC.Software Simulation Data Management Initiative

1. The MSC.Software Simulation Data Management Initiative Boma Koko Senior Director

2. Introduction • What our customers are saying • They have defined a requirement for simulation data management (Business Problem Statement) • PDM and other solutions do not address these requirements by themselves • MSC.Software has a unique understanding of simulation tools and processes • MSC.Software has established the SDM initiative to address these issues

3. Number of CAE Simulations Data per Simulation Cost of CAE Simulation Mainframes Cost of Physical Prototyping Workstations and Servers 1960 Years 2000 Need for SDM

4. Value of SDM • Increased efficiency  simulation process improvement • Improved access to appropriate source data • Higher simulation throughput • More time for engineering/innovating, less time for “bookkeeping” • Repeatable and consistent simulation methods • More reliable simulations because the process is less error prone • Increased effectiveness  impact on PLM process • Enhanced visibility and easy access to simulation results • Enhanced collaboration, engineering decision and risk assessment support • Simulation-based product development (driven by product performance and function)

5. SCM CRM The Role of SDM PLM is the whole picture. Each of PDM, ERP, SCM, CRM and SDM help facilitate this.

6. Product Lifecycle Management • CAD Data Management • Configuration Management • Component Management • Logistics PLM/PDM SDM • Simulation Data Managemant • CAE Data Management • Technology Definition • CAD & CAT Data Integration Simulation Data Management • VirtualProduct Definition • Geometry Verification • Technology Verification • Physical Verification Geometric Verification Computer Aided Design CAD Internet / Intranet Cooperation Knowledge Computer Aided Testing Computer Aided Engineering CAT CAE Physical Verification Technology Verification

7. Strategic Objectives of Initiative • Provide CAE information corporate wide (Easy web-based access and results publishing) • Support process integration (ERP, PDM, functional data management, other enterprise systems, …) • Enable simulation information re-use (Consistent definitions, Sharing, …)
