What Every Simulation Engineer
Needs to Know About SimManager

SimManager helps you meet schedule commitments and get more work done using the tools you already know.

SimManager is a web-centric framework for sharing, collaborating, integrating, accessing, and controlling simulation data and processes. We also offer “plug ins” that let you access the power of SimManager from within applications you already use today, keeping the need to learn a new system to a minimum.

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. 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. 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 plug in.

SimManager is your way to share what you are working on (when you want to). 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 understands 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 Audi QuoteSimManager leverages your PDM/PLM and simulation application investments. SimManager can be configured to use the same applications you use today. SimManager easily integrates with your PDM system to exchange product structure, part, and results information. SimManager has been specially designed to be a complete solution that meets the demands of the highly iterative, data intensive, processing heavy, nature of simulation.

What Every Simulation Manager
Needs to Know About SimManager

SimManager helps you meet schedule commitments and get more work done using the same or fewer resources.

Executive Summary

SimManager is your window into Simulation Operations. Using dashboard reports, SimManager enables you to quickly understand 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 understand schedule and product risks so that swift action can be taken to mitigate them before it’s too late or too expensive.

SimManager manages simulation data. Having all of your simulation data in a single repository will help protect intellectual property, facilitate collaboration and work sharing, and virtually eliminate time spent searching for the non-product input data needed for the simulation process.
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 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.
