Data model cuts development costs

A ProSTEP iViP Association product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Feb 11, 2008

The ProStep iViP Recommendation PSI 4 provides a proven data model that ensures optimal integration of simulation and computation data in a PDM environment.

The ProStep iViP Recommendation PSI 4 "Simulation Data Management - Integration of Simulation and Computation in a PDM Environment (SimPDM)" provides a proven data model that ensures optimal integration of simulation and computation data in a PDM environment.

The recommendation was jointly developed by the ProStep iViP SimPDM Project Group and the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA).

It was tested for practicability on the basis of a crash simulation of an entire vehicle as an FEM simulation,; the determination of operating loads on a virtual test track as a MBS simulation; and the design protection of a charge-air cooler as a computational fluid dynamics simulation.

Project Co-ordinator Dr Marcus Krastel said "The reference data model developed by the SimPDM Project Group is able to map the information from all three use cases and transfer them into a PDM-system".

"Thus the implementation of this reference data model allows us to achieve a significant increase in efficiency of simulation and computation processes and the entire development".

Members of the SimPDM Project Group include well-known automotive manufacturers and suppliers, representatives of system vendors and research institutes.

The ProStep iViP Recommendation PSI 4 (SimPDM) is available for download free of charge on the homepage of the ProStep iViP Association.
