Abstract

Increasing product complexity and shorter development times have deep impact on the engineering process. For example, changes in a part to improve the structural behavior can negatively influence the behavior in the electric domain or even make the system behavior non-feasible. In order to meet this challenge, a consistently multidisciplinary simulation approach is required to consider all influences together for the product-optimization. At the same time, it is crucial to be able to compare the simulations carried out with the requirements at any time, which is challenging since different departments are involved in this process, all working on the same product simultaneously. So it can easily happen that the simulation engineer does not perform the simulation on the latest design-revision, which might even not be discovered until product release. 

3DEXPERIENCE closes these gaps, by delivering one database for all departments in the company combined with comprehensive solvers for all physical domains. All members of a development project work on the same model-revisions and changes are indicated transparently. 3DEXPERIENCE also delivers tools for the project manager or the system engineer, to view the status of the requirements and the status of the corresponding simulations. 

In this presentation, a process will be shown, how a complete system can be simulated from system level to detail level and how product optimizations can be achieved in a very structured way. Simulation domains in the process involve structural analysis in the platform as well as multibody simulations via the power by connector in 3DEXPERIENCE.

Additionally it will be shown, how design oriented simulation templates can be prepared by the simulation experts and delivered to the design department, in order to enable designers to perform a first simulation on their own.
