Overview

ChallengesLife Cycle of DataHigh Level Requirements for a Enterprise Product Validation Framework• Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Web Services etc.

Enterprise Product Validation Process• CAD > Mesh > Assembly > Load Case > HPC > Results/Reports >< Test

Need for Product Performance Dashboards• Gaining insight into product performance metrics

Q&A


Challenges

Managing Product Performance Data• Simulation• Test

Embracing the ‘Batch Paradigm’• Batch BOM/CAD processing• Batch Meshing• Batch Assembly• Batch Reporting

Data Analytics• Insight into product performance metrics

Automation• Load case setup• Workflows/overall validation process

Automatic/Batch Report Generation

DescriptionGenerates Standard Euro-NCAP reports from test & simulation data using HyperGraph

• Facilitates comparison of results• Automates data collection• Automates data filtering based on set names

& conventions• Generates colored coded summary tables• Generates HyperWeb reports

Benefits• 3 hours to 3 minutes – Euro-NCAP report

generation from MADYMO simulation data• 4 hours to 3 minutes – Euro-NCAP report

generation from Test data• 2 hours to 3 minutes - Test Vs Simulation
