2. Introduction • MSC.Software • More than 35 years CAE specialist • De Facto Standard Software in most industries • Long term engineering involvement in customers simulation • Half a decade strong growth toward PLM worldwide leadership • CAE engineering services • Simulation data management • CAD-PDM implementation • Systems solution • Our Customers expectation • Productivity growth associated • Simulation environment Global solution implementation • CAE process support Reliable and maintainable engineering process • Benefit in PLM Partnership

3. How to grow with a partner? Collaboration Tuesday March 27th 2001, MSC.Software and Fiat Extended World-Wide Agreement Via Examples • Aerospace Analysis Consulting Group • Process Oriented Solutions • Simulation Data Management • State of the art software • Systems integration

4. Aero Analysis Consulting Group 1/3 • What is going to happen? • Analysis tools • Invert Matrix • Complex algorithm • ... • Are nothing without a “road-map“ • Expertise • Idealization • Know how • Investigation • Collaboration

5. Aero Analysis Consulting Group 2/3 • MSC Analysis Consulting Group • Deliver knowledge and expertise anywhere it is needed • Domain specific specialists act as supervisors • Industry particularities are taken into account • For instance Aerospace Business Unit like segment • Ensure repository of expertise • Customer collaboration • Software development guideline • Fiat Avio agreement included 10 000 hours of consulting • On site activity • Analysis and Design projects • Driven from Local Turin office, supported world-wide when necessary • More than 40 projects • Dynamic response • Thermo-mechanical dimensioning • Optimization • Non-Linear contact • ...

6. Aero Analysis Consulting Group 3/3 • Intermediate casing carrier (mechanical behavior of assembly with thermal load and bolt pre-load)

7. Process Oriented Solutions 1/3 • Asset of software is integration to a process • Guide line and road map to prevent from errors • Repeatability • Speed up the do it again • Maintain coherence • Ease of use • Performance • End User by example: Engine Design requires • Extensive simulation • Dedicated tools to specific application • Knowledge encapsulation • Local specialist involvement • Human interaction • Issues resulting for process management • Repeatability and trace ability becomes tricky

8. Process Oriented Solutions 2/3 • Fiat and MSC have worked since 99 on process automation • Encapsulate expert know how • Leverage company expertise • Deliver a proven and reliable process • Tailor environment to end user • First example • Thermo-mechanical simulation of a disc/blade assembly • Steps decomposition from CAD access to meshing procedure, material database query and loading environment management up to the post processing • Second example • High cycle fatigue processing on a finite element model in correlation with Campbell Diagram

9. Process Oriented Solutions 3/3 • Example 1 • Example 2

10. Simulation Data Management 1/3 • CAE results are highly dependent on idealization inputs • Geometry • Mesh • Lbc‘s • Materials • Reliable • Uniqueness & Coherence • Suitable format Fiat Avio selected Mvision as their unique Materials data repository. • Multi site databases encapsulation in a common source (example 2) • Implementation of data reduction procedures via customized spreadsheets • Laboratory dedicated GUI front end (Example 1) • Collaborative project trace ability ( Example 3)

11. Simulation Data Management 2/3 • Example 1: Java GUI associated to local dictionary for easy data upload • Example 2: Fiat Avio databank

12. Simulation Data Management 3/3 • Example 3: Context management of simulation data associated to disc/blade process.

13. State of the art Software 1/2 • Real world problems are not well represented by usual deterministic analysis. They always account variability. • Geometry defects • Specimen dimension • Material parameters • … • Stochastic solutions will deliver • Real model behavior driving from Analysis to Simulation • Optimization data more exhaustive that deterministic methods • Risk measurement • A Robust Design methodology is also a way to quality and Six-Sigma qualification

14. State of the art Software 2/2 • Example: Optimization of disc/blade contact with a Monte Carlo approach • Surface response is a mean to evaluate local and global minima • Sactter output shows the real model behavior and is a measure of risk

15. Systems Integration • Simulation requires ever larger computing power • Super Computers • Linux Clusters • … • Associated to the Robust Design of a 3D model, Fiat Avio as asked MSC to calibrate and implement a Linux cluster capable of pre specified performances.

16. Conclusion • MSC has been known as the de facto CAE market leader with more than 35 years of experience • In the last half decade MSC has extended its know how to full PLM • Success stories and tracked customer records established MSC among the major PLM players • It is up to all MSC customers to take advantage of this new recognized expertise.
