Accelerate Innovation through Visual Product Development Collaboration VCollab software, powered by the CAX file format, is the easiest and the most comprehensive CAE Visual Collaboration Solution. CAX to Reduce Simulation and Results Files by 99% The VCollab solution begins with CAX, the common, portable file format for storing and sharing CAE data/information. Using a refined data-extraction and data-reduction process, VCollab creates CAX files that are up to 99% smaller than native CAE files. One Format Unifies CAE Data VCollab and the CAX file format is the single solution that unifies the complex array of simulation codes and formats currently in use today. One VCollab viewer and one common file format let users access a myriad of different CAE simulations and results as well as share, store, and collaboratively review the simulations. VCollab + CAX Benefits Business 2 Business Collaboration • OEMs, Suppliers, and Service Providers use one portable CAX file format for easy CAE information transfer, access, sharing and archiving. • Decision makers review comprehensive CAE Information with one simple-to-use interface. • VCollab enables superior visual communication to accelerate innovation thru Visual CAE Collaboraton. Reduce delays. Global Engineering Collaboration • Reduce the delay in the design decisions. D CAX file as 3D CAE Report allows for validation of Simulations during analysis/design reviews, leading to faster design decisions. • Reduces the need to transfer the native results files. Reduces the delays & the load on IT. • Technical and non-technical teams easily exchange CAX files to review comprehensive product design and simulation information. • CAX files support multiple analysis programs and enable CAE document and data collaboration. Efficiency Improvements • Improves the productivity of CAE analysts by significantly reducing the labor-intensive CAE results post processing and reporting processes. • 3D CAE Reports enable engineers to validate the models and results from remote teams/ suppliers. Reduce delays in design decisions. • Improved visual collaboration between analysts and designers. • Reduces storage, transfer time, and bandwidth requirements on IT infrastructure • Reduces wait times to access and review massive results files from remote servers. • Supports SDM, SLM, SPDM, PDM, PLM, MDO system integration. • Reduces need for code-specific viewers. • Leverages existing software and hardware investments and maximizes utilization of the CAE investments • Leverages expertise of all engineering teams. • Native CAE simulation and results files are huge in size and they are difficult to store, move, archive & share. • Multiple CAE data formats require multiple codes to access simulations and results. • Complexity and range of tools chal- lenge engineering teams and decision makers to collaboratively review simulations models and results. • Smart Extract Key Simulation Information from many simulation results files for easier reporting, sharing and collaboration • One Portable CAX file format stores all CAE models and results. • CAX files are very compact in size (upto 99% smaller than native files) to store and share. • Teams can easily share, review, and validate the 3D Simulation Information across multiple sites, multiple enterprises, with one common Format and Viewer. • WEB based visualzation of CAE results • Faster Design Decisions .3PLOT .RTH .PAT .ODB .BDF .OUT .PAT .OUT .CASE .ENCASE .FIL .OUT .ODB .PAT .CAS .CAS .CAS .BDF .BDF .CCM .3PLOT .ENCASE .ENCASE .CASE .CCM .RTH .3PLOT .ODB .RTH .PAT .FIL .CCM .CAS .BDF .CAX .CAX .CAX .CAX .CAX .CAX .CAX .CAX .CAX Traditional Collaboration Collaboration V
