MSC.Software Data Sheet SimDesigner Template Client Edition Leverage the Power of SimEnterprise within your CAD Environment Overview MSC SimDesigner Template Client Edition is a component of the MSC SimEnterprise simula- tion product suite, which also includes MSC SimXpert and MSC SimManager. SimEnterprise enables manufacturing companies to improve product development by deploying role-based simulation applications and enabling integration to third party and in-house tools used for the design and test of products. Through the use of SimEnterprise, companies can build corporate standards for simulation and virtual test processes, create and capture simulation methods and knowledge for reuse across user types and supply chain, and manage and control simulation data and process pedigree. SimDesigner Template Client Edition plugs into the CAD environment allowing designers across the engineering department and into the supply chain to execute simulation templates authored by expert analysts. Template guided analysis ensures proper modeling, simulation inputs, materials data, discipline methods and CAE best practices are being followed by CAD users. This allows corporations to increase the amount and quality of analysis being performed by design engineers and suppliers throughout the various stages of product development, and improves confidence in initial simulation results which designers can use to make better design decisions. SimDesigner Template Client Edition is offered for CATIA V5, NX5, and Pro/ENGINEER. Product manufacturers using any of these CAD systems can enforce simulation standards to CAD users and ensure they are following corporate best practices for virtual testing. SimEnterprise Solution Suite Advantages • SimManager provides companies with a centralized collaboration hub for publishing and managing analysis pedigree, controlling and distributing simulation data, templates, and process knowledge across the enterprise. • SimXpert delivers an integrated workspace environment for conducting multidisciplinary analysis with a built-in Template Builder that allows analysts to author simulation templates for reuse across the enterprise. • SimDesigner gives design engineers working in the CAD environment access to templates created in SimXpert and the ability to execute templates within the CAD interface. Capabilities • Supports CATIA V5, Pro/ENGINEER & NX5 • Execute SimXpert templates directly from CAD environment enabling designers to perform expert guided structural and motion analyses on CAD geometry. • Post-process structures and motion simulation template results directly within CAD environment. • Utilize SimManager to manage simulation template runs, data revision control, release status, and data pedigree and audit trail. Benefits • Drive simulation earlier in the design process to lower the cost of design changes and improve product quality and manufacturability. • Increase confidence in early design validation and designs iterations through template-guided simulation • Enhance collaboration between design teams and expert analysts to promote automation and reuse of CAE best practices across the enterprise. • Gain greater insight into design performance. Template guided analysis ensures proper modeling, simulation inputs, materials data, and CAE best practices are being followed by CAD users. • Control data access and share data wit other designers, engineers, managers and executives across the enterprise.
