Enhancing Simulation Value using Abaqus with SIMULIA SLM - A Customer’s Perspective

SIMULIA's picture

The emergence of simulation data management software packages provides an opportunity to both streamline simulation processes and further leverage the impact of simulation results. The nimble mechanism for process automation offered by SIMULIA SLM (Simulation Lifecycle Management) product reduces simulation turnaround by establishing connections between and managing simulation stages while allowing interactive components, such as Abaqus/CAE, to provide rich functionality. A strategy of combining a server based management system with local interactive components allows new and existing simulation processes to be quickly encapsulated into a streamlined tool. The management system (SLM) tracks data pedigree and provides sophisticated search/retrieval tools for simulation related data. The results are faster simulation cycles (build/run/analyze) and improved quality control of simulation activities (formalized process and associated control mechanism). Achieving the correct balance between adaptability and rigidity within a simulation process is a key aspect to consider as SLM is configured to a specific target user group. For example, expert users can take advantage of process streamlining and data management with full access to interactive application capability providing maximum flexibility. At the other extreme, a directed process with intentionally limited choices may be appropriate for a non-expert user. Combining a configurable process and data management tool (SLM) and customized interactive components (i.e., Abaqus/CAE) provides a common environment for teams to realize full value from simulation efforts. This paper uses two applications using SLM in conjunction with interactive tools to provide formalized simulation processes to illustrate the advantages of such a strategy.
