Simulation Lifecycle Management

Companies spend millions on simulation to replace or support physical testing, but often fail to capture, manage, and reuse the resulting intellectual property.

In today’s product development industry, it is a given that simulation technology and methods have resulted in faster and more cost-effective delivery of innovative and reliable products than the historical build-and-break process. However, even those companies gaining significant benefits from simulation will admit that that they often fail to retain their processes or manage simulation results efficiently enough so that others in their organization can reuse the knowledge gained in an effective way.

A 2007 survey from industry research firm CPDA reported that 42 percent of companies keep their simulation data on local or departmental drives. This makes it difficult—if not impossible—for decision-making stakeholders to access the information or even be aware of its existence. This leads to repeating the same simulations, overlooking an important performance metric, or losing valuable intellectual property.

As a brand of Dassault Systèmes, we are leveraging proven Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) technology from ENOVIA and combining it with our simulation expertise to develop a new, economically deployable product suite for Simulation Lifecycle Management (SLM).

Our vision is to provide robust technology and methods that enable our customers to bring order to their simulation processes and achieve a new level of efficiency in shortening development cycles, reducing waste, and improving product quality while fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation.
