Simulation Management: Challenges ▪ Large number of tools ▪ Mixed-fidelity modeling (from systems models to 3-D models) ▪ Multi-physics modeling ▪ Multi-disciplinary modeling (including mechanical, software, electronics) ▪ Tools from multiple vendors ▪ Data models (tool file formats) are all different ▪ Each tool speaks its own language ▪ Simulation processes usually use multiple tools ▪ Simulation Processes are manual and only run by experts in silos ▪ Non-experts do not have access to simulation ▪ Large number of product variants and autonomous testing requires full automation ▪ Simulation data not connected to other engineering (PLM) data ▪ Tools from all vendors, all physics and all levels of fidelity must be integrated ▪ Results from all tools should be available to the enterprise for decision-making Risks compounded by Multidisciplinary Products & Use of Machine Learning and AI in Design 4th International Conference on Simulation Process & Data Management | 17-20 June | Quebec City | Canada
Effective SPDM Should Enable ▪ Experts & Engineers ▪ Deliver better/timely requirements-driven simulation coverage ▪ Stay in sync with design / variant changes ▪ Eliminate redundant administrative tasks ▪ Analyze Variations Quickly and Automatically ▪ Rapidly conduct analysis on product variations, options and design changes ▪ Enable “right - fidelity” simulation throughout the lifecycle ▪ Fully-Automate repeatable tool chain processes ▪ Digital Thread ▪ Across Concept Engineering, Detailed Design, Simulation & Test ▪ From Requirements through entire Lifecycle source: gm 4th International Conference on Simulation Process & Data Management | 17-20 June | Quebec City | Canada
What’s Missing in SPDM – a Systems-Centric View Black-Box, File-Based ▪ Complete representation of the Product: Vendor/Tool-Specific A Systems-Centric view ▪ System intent & System requirements System Requirements ▪ System Architecture & System Parameters System Parameters System Architecture ▪ Multiple component representations Component Representations ▪ System constraints & Operating conditions Simulation Process ▪ Performance metrics FE Mesher Systems Analysis ▪ Product variants/configurations Structural MBD ▪ Tool-agnostic data & processes FEA & Life CAD Analysis CFD ▪ Commercial, in-house custom, etc. In-house tools Thermal Analysis “Lights - out” automation at any level of fidelity source: GM ▪ ▪ Robust automation across design changes and product family variants Systems-Centric, Template-Driven Simulation Management 4th International Conference on Simulation Process & Data Management | 17-20 June | Quebec City | Canada

Core Beliefs That Drive Our Solution 1. Get the data right ▪ Create and manage an engineering abstraction layer that is vastly tool-independent 2. Fully-Automate repeatable simulation processes ▪ Simulation templates must be robust across significant design changes and across the entire product family, at the required level of fidelity ▪ You must auto-generate the simulation models 3. Connect simulation data to the product architecture ▪ Simulation data must be requirements-driven and systems-centric source: gm 4th International Conference on Simulation Process & Data Management | 17-20 June | Quebec City | Canada
