This course covers the configuration of the SimManager Automotive Solution. Participants will set up a SimManager portal with a typical automotive product structure and enable simulation automation. The completed configuration is suitable for the related course: SMM111 (SimManager Automotive Solution).

Participants will configure a SimManager out-of-the-box installation for the Automotive Solution. They will set up automated simulation by integrating external applications, such as pre-processors, solvers, and post-processors. They will create some automotive-specific object types.

A master automobile project will be created and access controls will be established. Then a Product Structure Definition for an automotive vehicle will be created, which defines the typical components that comprise a vehicle assembly. Likewise, the necessary assembly and component models will be defined.

Students will define the scenarios (load cases) and expected key results from a typical crash simulation. They will create a Simulation Study, in which component models can be assembled and run through multiple simulations using the Simulation Generator. They will also enable server-side file selection (SSFS) for more efficient uploading of data.
