Simulation data volume is increasing considerably, and data traceability and easy re-use have become crucial.
Simulation-based design is a way to design correctly the first time, by orienting decisions early in the product-development process.
VisualDSS capabilities include ways of building and maintaining the bidirectional link between CAD data stored in PLM systems and simulation domains.
It allows the transferring of design and engineering modifications to the extended multi-domain team, thus ensuring data traceability throughout the development process and beyond.
VisualDSS also features a data persistency environment, which gathers the simulation data from the different applications used during the whole simulation lifecycle.
It enables the capture, storage and re-use of a company's knowledge and best practices.
VisualDSS is based upon IBM DB2 Content Manager technology, which has been providing the market for years with technical and security features that are developed and proven in other business areas.
Its Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) authorises flexible enterprise deployment by integrating easily into the IT and data architecture of every company.
It links easily to standard or corporate databases or PLM systems.
VisualDSS improves overall effectiveness and raises business productivity, allowing engineers to automate repetitive and cumbersome tasks in the simulation-based design process.
Customers can capitalise, share and deploy their best practices within their extended ecosystem, taking advantage of the common multi-domain compute model and the openness of the solution to third-party applications.
VisualDSS is designed for small, medium-sized and large companies in ESI group's traditional markets such as automotive, aerospace, defence, energy, heavy industry and consumer goods.
