State of the Art Review in CAE Data Management

The effort required for the management of simulation data is increasing with the amount and complexity of information that is manipulated in the Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) context. Implementation of Product Data Management (PDM) today is largely restricted to product design, where Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools have relatively homogeneous information content.

Integration across different domains such as design and simulation opens a completely new level of complexity not addressed today. Currently, little to no PDM is used in the simulation domain and the variety of simulation tools tends to become complex with no common way existing to share CAE information across these tools.

This publication describes a scalable solution for the management of CAE data that can be implemented step-wise and integrates existing processes and applications using proven and industry strength concepts and tools.
