Manage multi-disciplinary load cases in SDM: Model setup and evaluation of results

Due to the continuously increasing demand in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), it is essential for high efficiency and transparency to automate and standardize processes. In many cases, Simulation Data Management (SDM) software is used for this purpose. To achieve all mechanical target values of a product, there are several standard disciplines in the field of CAE, such as Crash, Noise Vibration Harshness (NVH) or Fatigue. Assembly, solving and postprocessing for these disciplines can differ greatly from one another. For this reason, it is best practice in many companies to carry out the optimization of a model in each discipline separately and to compare the results and structural adjustments with other disciplines at regular intervals.
