Pg 2 of 16 AGI Phoenix Integration Phoenix Agenda Background: STK/Analyzer Supporting multi-user deployment of STK scenarios Solution overview: CenterLink Demonstration Q&A

Pg 3 of 16 AGI Phoenix Integration Phoenix STK/Analyzer Automate trade studies in STK without scripting STK/Analyzer Input Values (e.g. sensor parameters) Output Values (e.g. coverage parameters) STK Connect

Pg 4 of 16 AGI Phoenix Integration Phoenix Manual Trade Study Process Build a Scenario Change parameters via Properties Dialogs Run reports, extract information, plot in Excel Time consuming Error prone Tedious Relies heavily on experts 1 2 3

Pg 5 of 16 AGI Phoenix Integration Phoenix Manual Trade Study Process Writing MATLAB scripts to perform trade studies –Requires programming experience –Is error prone –Debug process is time consuming

Pg 6 of 16 AGI Phoenix Integration Phoenix STK/Analyzer builds a parametric representation of the scenario. Any parameter in the tree can be used in a trade study by dragging it to the form on the right. How STK/Analyzer Works

Pg 7 of 16 AGI Phoenix Integration Phoenix Managing STK Usage Needs: Version control of scenarios Collaboration of multiple users editing a single scenario Utilization of available cluster resources to accelerate STK/Analyzer runs Archival of scenarios in a central, web-accessible database Utilization of STK scenarios by non-expert users Needs Vary: Individual Workgroup Enterprise

Pg 9 of 16 AGI Phoenix Integration Phoenix CenterLink Usage Model Analysts jointly work on developing one or more scenarios. –Scenarios are stored in a version controlled database. As studies are performed, they may be sent out to cluster resources to accelerate trades. –Results are archived in a web-accessible database. Customized GUIs may be created for scenarios that allow non-expert (or potentially future) people to repeat scenario calculations.

Pg 13 of 16 AGI Phoenix Integration Phoenix Phoenix Integration SOFTWARE INTEGRATION Boeing uses Phoenix-Integration tools to link engineers from 3 separate locations and share access to models, cutting process time from 8 hours to 45 minutes PRODUCT OPTIMIZATION Ford Motor Company automated the crash simulation process to improve the safety of their cars. Head injury criteria was reduced by 24%, chest injury was reduced by 16% and overall compute time was reduced from 7 hours to 25 minutes. DATA MANAGEMENT Managers at GE reduced their design cycle times by 85% for a gas turbine power generator. GE uses Phoenix software to perform complex Six Sigma tasks. ADD Galaxy Aerospace
