Title : Requirement Analysis of Simulation Data Management

Research and/or Engineering Questions/Objective CAE methods such as FEM, CFD and MBD have been used in automobile industry widely. Simulation data and CAE knowledge are accumulated, which need to be managed more urgent than before. Simulation process such like boundary conditions, model setup and reporting need to be more standardized. At the same time, CAE methods need to be extended to product planning and concept phase, which can only be possible based on a database. More and More complicated communication process between CAE and CAD engineers needs to be supported by an IT system and CAE knowledge need to be transferred to new staffs more efficiently. Under this background, an IT system is defined and implemented in order to standardize CAE processes, manager CAE data and, for some field, automate CAE activities.
