MSC SimManager

What every Simulation Engineer needs to know about SimManager

SimManager exists to improve the quality and reduce the time it takes to bring your company’s products to market. SimManager is a web-centric framework for sharing, collaborating, integrating, accessing, and controlling simulation data and processes. SimManager helps you meet schedule commitments and get more work done using the tools you already know.

Executive Summary

SimManager manages simulation data. Having all of your simulation data in a single repository will help protect intellectual property, facilitate collaboration and work sharing among team members, and virtually eliminate the time you spend searching for the non-product input data needed for the simulation process. You can get rid of the notebooks and spreadsheets you use to keep track of your projects and models.

SimManager manages simulation processes. Getting control of your simulation data will provide some improvement in simulation productivity. Coupling data management with process management and automation is how companies reap substantial benefits. You can use published automation actions to eliminate tedious, time consuming, non-value added tasks like model assembly, post-processing and report generation. The time it takes for you to execute simulation processes drops, while the quality and consistency of your work improves.

SimManager lets you use the applications you already know. Sure you’ll have to do a few things differently, but SimManager can be configured to encapsulate your existing commercial and in-house applications. SimManager can also be embedded within your applications using an Integrated Client.

SimManager is your way to share what you are working on. Using dashboard reports, SimManager enables you to quickly provide the status of your projects and how your products are performing as compared to their requirements. This instant visibility into project and product program performance will help you and your management understand schedule and product risks so that swift action can be taken to mitigate them before it’s too late or too expensive. SimManager also simplifies design reviews by having all the information you need in one place.

SimManager leverages your PDM/PLM and simulation application investments. SimManager can be integrated with your other enterprise systems like product data management and requirements management. SimManager can easily be configured to exchange product structure, part, and results informationwith your PDM system. Because of the highly iterative, data intensive, processing heavy, nature of simulation, SimManager’s services provide value that goes far beyond what PDM is designed for. It’s the right tool for the right job.

Executive Summary

SimManager is your window into Simulation Operations. Using dashboard reports, SimManager enables you to quickly understand how your products are performing as compared to their requirements. This instant visibility into product program performance will help you understand product risks so that swift action can be taken to mitigate them before it’s too late or too expensive.

SimManager is based on industry standard J2EE components to implement its Services Oriented Architecture. No special skills or hardware is needed for IT to implement SimManager. It will fit into your existing templates for web servers, database servers, and storage systems. By using components IT already knows how to operate, high levels of service will be able to be realized and maintained.

SimManager manages simulation processes. Getting control of your simulation data will provide an improvement in simulation productivity. Coupling data management with process management and automation is how companies reap substantial benefits. Standard work can be authored by your subject matter experts and simultaneously deployed to each member of the organization. Knowledge can be captured and reused. The time to execute simulation processes drops, while the quality of work done improves.

SimManager leverages your PDM/PLM and simulation application investments. SimManager can be integrated with your other enterprise systems like product data management and requirements management. Some of the inputs to the simulation process are directly related to the product. SimManager can easily be integrated with your PDM system to exchange product structure, part, and results information. Because of the highly iterative, data intensive, processing heavy, nature of simulation, SimManager’s services provide value that goes far beyond what PDM is designed for.
