  1. Simulation Workflow Automation and Model Management MBSE Workshop / INCOSE IW 2014 Model Management Breakout Session January 26, 2014 Hongman Kim Project Manger / MBSE Integration Lead Grant Soremekun Product / Business Development Manager

  2. Topics • Company and software technology overview • A typical customer data / model generation process • How Phoenix Integration software is utilized • Model/data management issues • Some model/data management solutions • Summary

  3. Phoenix Integration Concept Identification Conceptual Design Preliminary Design Detailed Design Help customers fully realize the value of their modeling and simulation tools • Automate simulation workflows • Model integration • Explore more design alternatives • Visualize and communicate results • Make better design decisions

  4. ModelCenter: Workflow Automation Evaluate Trade-Offs Build Automated Workflows Execute Multiple Runs 1 2 3 ModelCenter Sensitivity Analysis Design of Experiments Optimization Probability Analysis

  5. In-house FORTRAN Analysis Server: Publish Wrappers to the Cloud Finite Element Analysis Analysis Server Excel Analysis Server Analysis Server Network (LAN or WLAN) ModelCenter

  6. Connect SysML with Engineering Analysis

  7. Connect SysML with Engineering Analysis Step 1: Create ModelCenter model Step 2: Import ModelCenter model as a SysML constraint Block using MBSE Analyzer Step 3: Set up parametric diagram using the imported constraint block.

  8. Connect SysML with Engineering Analysis • Evaluate Designs • Requirements Check • Update SysML model

  9. A Typical Data / Model Generation Process DisciplineTeams PDM Structures Shared File System Aero Constant Churn Electrical CADDesigners Systems Engineers ChiefEngineer

  10. Data / Model Management Needs ModelCenter Workflow Trade Study Results WrapperLibrary SharePoint Teamwork Server, ClearCase PDM/PLM • Files poorly organized in shared folders or scattered throughout enterprise • Can’t find information efficiently • Access to files poorly managed • Hard to understand who changed which file and why • File dependencies are poorly understood WIP Data BOM Staging Ground Shared File System Multiple Sources of Truth Analysis Library: ModelCenter Data Manager

  11. Analysis Library: Light-Weight Data / Model Management • Shared Drive “Plus” • Client / Server (easy to install/use) • Version Control • Search Engine • Change Notification • Meta Data Extraction/Indexing • Data Access / Custom Reports • File Dependencies • Web enabled • Open API • Tight integration with ModelCenter, but can be used independently as well

  12. Model Dependencies ModelCenter file stored in Analysis Library List of file required to build/execute the model List of trade study results that were created using the model

  13. Managing Models During Workflow Execution Automatic Upload to AnalysisLibrary

  14. Metadata / Report Generation • Assign metadata to each data item in the repository • Custom define meta data properties • Organize groups of items into templates • Update values manually or programmatically through indexers Reports are accessible from the desktop client or web interface

  15. Summary • Phoenix Integration provides a software infrastructure for automating engineering analysis workflows • ModelCenter (Model execution/integration, trade space exploration) • Engineering analysis models and data utilized during day-to-day processes needs to be managed • ModelCenter magnifies this need • Shared drive often used but insufficient • Analysis Library (non-intrusive solutions are desired) • Multiple sources of truth • Engineering analysis data needs to be accessible to other content management systems • Data / Model management is an active R&D area
