April 8-10, 2002 How to grow with a partner? Collaboration Tuesday March 27th 2001, MSC.Software and Fiat Extended World-Wide Agreement Via Examples  Aerospace Analysis Consulting Group  Process Oriented Solutions  Simulation Data Management  State of the art software  Systems integration

April 8-10, 2002 Aero Analysis Consulting Group 1/3  What is going to happen?  Analysis tools  Invert Matrix  Complex algorithm ...  Are nothing without a “road-map“  Expertise  Idealization  Know how  Investigation  Collaboration

April 8-10, 2002 Aero Analysis Consulting Group 2/3  MSC Analysis Consulting Group  Deliver knowledge and expertise anywhere it is needed  Domain specific specialists act as supervisors  Industry particularities are taken into account  For instance Aerospace Business Unit like segment  Ensure repository of expertise  Customer collaboration  Software development guideline  Fiat Avio agreement included hours of consulting  On site activity  Analysis and Design projects  Driven from Local Turin office, supported world-wide when necessary  More than 40 projects  Dynamic response  Thermo-mechanical dimensioning  Optimization  Non-Linear contact ...

April 8-10, 2002 Aero Analysis Consulting Group 3/3  Intermediate casing carrier (mechanical behavior of assembly with thermal load and bolt pre-load)

April 8-10, 2002 Process Oriented Solutions 1/3  Asset of software is integration to a process  Guide line and road map to prevent from errors  Repeatability  Speed up the do it again  Maintain coherence  Ease of use  Performance  End User by example: Engine Design requires  Extensive simulation  Dedicated tools to specific application  Knowledge encapsulation  Local specialist involvement  Human interaction  Issues resulting for process management  Repeatability and trace ability becomes tricky

April 8-10, 2002 Process Oriented Solutions 2/3  Fiat and MSC have worked since 99 on process automation  Encapsulate expert know how  Leverage company expertise  Deliver a proven and reliable process  Tailor environment to end user  First example  Thermo-mechanical simulation of a disc/blade assembly  Steps decomposition from CAD access to meshing procedure, material database query and loading environment management up to the post processing  Second example  High cycle fatigue processing on a finite element model in correlation with Campbell Diagram

April 8-10, 2002 Process Oriented Solutions 3/3  Example 1  Example 2

April 8-10, 2002 Simulation Data Management 1/3  CAE results are highly dependent on idealization inputs  Geometry  Mesh  Lbc‘s  Materials  Reliable  Uniqueness & Coherence  Suitable format Fiat Avio selected Mvision as their unique Materials data repository.  Multi site databases encapsulation in a common source (example 2)  Implementation of data reduction procedures via customized spreadsheets  Laboratory dedicated GUI front end (Example 1)  Collaborative project trace ability ( Example 3)

April 8-10, 2002 Simulation Data Management 2/3  Example 1: Java GUI associated to local dictionary for easy data upload  Example 2: Fiat Avio databank

April 8-10, 2002 Simulation Data Management 3/3  Example 3: Context management of simulation data associated to disc/blade process.

April 8-10, 2002 State of the art Software 1/2  Real world problems are not well represented by usual deterministic analysis. They always account variability.  Geometry defects  Specimen dimension  Material parameters  …  Stochastic solutions will deliver  Real model behavior driving from Analysis to Simulation  Optimization data more exhaustive that deterministic methods  Risk measurement  A Robust Design methodology is also a way to quality and Six-Sigma qualification

April 8-10, 2002 State of the art Software 2/2  Example: Optimization of disc/blade contact with a Monte Carlo approach  Surface response is a mean to evaluate local and global minima  Sactter output shows the real model behavior and is a measure of risk

April 8-10, 2002 Systems Integration  Simulation requires ever larger computing power  Super Computers  Linux Clusters  …  Associated to the Robust Design of a 3D model, Fiat Avio as asked MSC to calibrate and implement a Linux cluster capable of pre specified performances.

April 8-10, 2002 Conclusion  MSC has been known as the de facto CAE market leader with more than 35 years of experience  In the last half decade MSC has extended its know how to full PLM  Success stories and tracked customer records established MSC among the major PLM players  It is up to all MSC customers to take advantage of this new recognized expertise.
