Press Release Artificial Intelligence Gets Smarter Using Efficient Simulation Data and Process Management Page 1 of 3 Artificial Intelligence Gets Smarter Using Efficient Simulation Data and Process Management MSC Software is platinum sponsor of the European NAFEMS SPDM Conference and explains how data management and artificial intelligence interact Munich, Germany - November 12, 2018 - MSC Software (MSC), a global leader in simulation software and services, attends the NAFEMS European Conference for Simulation Process and Data Management (SPDM) as a platinum sponsor and takes the opportunity to focus on the connection between data management and artificial intelligence (AI). The NAFEMS European Conference for SPDM will take place in Munich on November 28-29 2018. This congress is a unique platform for knowledge exchange and allows attendees to learn about the latest developments and trends in this area. At the event, MSC will present its SPDM system SimManager and explain what will be the priorities in the future development of the system. SimManager is an SPDM system for all Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) activities which puts simulation at the center of the product development process. But the system is more than just a data management tool. From the beginning, SimManager was designed with the longterm goal of enhancing engineering knowledge. Simulation methods and algorithms are developing rapidly and generate more and more data, which mount up to terabytes, petabytes or even exabytes. These data are the knowledge base of simulation departments and the basis for AI system development. The success of such AI projects depends largely on the underlying data. It’s essential to incorporate the right data in the projects – otherwise, AI will not be able to respond intelligently. SimManager guarantees that engineers can resort to traceable input parameters and represent proven simulation processes. Thus, the repeatability of simulation processes is ensured by consistent management of all data and models. MSC‘s Product Strategist Artificial Intelligence, Dr. Michael Schlenkrich, will describe the connection between data management and AI system development in his presentation. He is looking forward to the
