Simulation Process Management: Business Drivers, Technical Enablers Bruce Jenkins Spar Point Research LLC Danvers, Massachusetts, USA www.sparllc.com
Who we are z Spar Point Research LLC z Founded 2003 by Bruce Jenkins, Tom Greaves Researching best practices for creating, modifying, managing engineered products, built assets Maximizing technology’s business impact Bruce Jenkins President of Research, Spar Point Research www.sparllc.com www.sparllc.com 2007 Spar Point Research LLC 2
Digital simulation best practices z Industries researched by Spar Point z Aerospace & defense Aircraft engines Automotive powertrain Consumer electronics Medical devices Off-highway equipment Solutions in use at companies studied www.sparllc.com ABAQUS, AMEsim, ANSYS, CFD , CFX, COSMOSWorks, Elfini, EXCITE, Femap, FEMLAB (now COMSOL Multiphysics), Flowmaster, Fluent, Hypermesh, I-DEAS CAE, LS-DYNA, MATLAB, Moldflow, MSC.Adams, MSC.Nastran, MSC.Patran, NPSS, NX Nastran, Simulink, STAR-CD, Valvedyn, Vectis, WAVE. 2007 Spar Point Research LLC 3
Business drivers for better simulation data/process management z z Increasing efficiency and impact of CAE usage is a goal of all industries studied Challenges z Answer z Project/program schedules – not enough time Human resources – not enough trained, qualified staff Resistance to change – cultures, legacy work processes Make more efficient use of existing resources – software tools, engineering staff hours, corporate knowledge Through better management of simulation data and processes Many users recognize “PLM for CAE” as the answer www.sparllc.com 2007 Spar Point Research LLC 4
Business drivers abound in all industries studied Importance: HIGH MEDIUM LOW Medical Devices Consumer Electronics Auto Powertrain OffHighway Aero/ Defense Aircraft Engines Analysts’/engineers’ need for right data, fast Corporate knowledge capture, retention Global CAE data sharing, reuse Managing intra-CAE data flows Managing CAE/CAD data flows Managing CAE/test data correlation Support for systems-level/whole-product simulation Managing DFSS, MDO, robust design results Collaborating with partners, subcontractors, suppliers Protecting IP in CAE outsourcing Managing ITAR requirements Building, managing materials data libraries Managing manufacturing data needed for simulation www.sparllc.com 2007 Spar Point Research LLC 5
Business driver summary z Data needed by collateral and downstream project functions is too often z CAE’s value is constrained by obstacles to z Unavailable Outdated Captive to error-prone manual methods of dissemination and re-entry Data sharing Knowledge capture Information reuse Also needed – ways to capture and share bestpractice work processes www.sparllc.com 2007 Spar Point Research LLC 6
Technical enablers z Solution needs to address two different classes of requirements: www.sparllc.com Day-to-day needs of individual CAE analysts and engineers Enterprise-level needs 2007 Spar Point Research LLC 7
Enabling user-level needs z z Individual analysts and engineers need pragmatic solutions that let them work faster and with higher confidence Key requirements www.sparllc.com Ability to have confidence that analysis was based on current, correct CAD configuration Ability to easily retrieve data from one CAE discipline for use as input to another discipline Ability to easily retrieve past analysis models, processes and results for re-execution or updating months or years later 2007 Spar Point Research LLC 8
Enabling enterprise needs z Manufacturers report simulation data/process management would be of greatest value to enterprise when embedded in context of: Configuration management, product structure management For coordinating CAD geometry and CAE models and processes. This is needed for two kinds of new-product development work processes: CAD-led FEM-led For coordinating simulation models and results with corresponding matrices of product variants, such as in automotive and commercial vehicle development Change management, workflow management – for ensuring that: Geometry changes trigger timely re-analysis Analysis results are fed back to product development, and acted on www.sparllc.com 2007 Spar Point Research LLC 9
Enabling enterprise needs cont. z simulation data/process management of greatest value to enterprise when embedded in context of: Requirements management – to help ensure that: System-level performance targets adhere to program requirements Adherence is maintained as system-level targets are “cascaded” down to component-level performance targets Project/program management – for managing: www.sparllc.com Controlled data sharing as determined by partner trust levels ITAR compliance Schedule adherence Document management – to associate simulation data with, or incorporate it into, documents such as those mandated by regulatory agencies Management reporting 2007 Spar Point Research LLC 10
Qualifying solution providers z Spar Point’s conclusion – Best prospects for success lie in partnering with solution providers that have longtime domain expertise in both Digital simulation and analysis (CAE) Process/Data management (PLM/PDM) www.sparllc.com Enterprise level Workgroup and user level 2007 Spar Point Research LLC 11
Balancing user/enterprise needs z Ensure solution addresses needs of two kinds of stakeholders Discipline leads, analysts, engineers Searching for needed data Intra-CAE data sharing CAD-CAE data sharing Encapsulating/automating repetitive tasks Program/project managers, best-practice methods experts, IT infrastructure professionals Simulation process management has best chance for acceptance if it is an extension of existing installed infrastructure technology with proven track record www.sparllc.com 2007 Spar Point Research LLC 12
