Make earlier and broader use of simulation

Adopt an open, multi-‐‑discipline environment

Empower designers with simulation tools

Enable enterprise-‐‑wide access to simulation insights

Best practices for driving engineering decisions with simulation

1D Simulations LMS Imagine.Lab

Hybrid Approaches LMS Test.Lab

3D Simulations NX CAE, LMS Virtual.Lab

Siemens solutions enable earlier and broader use of simulation in all stages of development

“LMS Amesim enables to imagine new solutions with a better understanding

of the system. In particular, the simulation enables to focus on

variables which cannot be measured, and test new concepts without the

need of expensive prototype.”

Gilles Lemaire Scientific Support Manager

Poclain Hydraulics

Case Study: Poclain Hydraulics

•  Business challenges: o  Reduce time-to-market when

designing heavy-duty transmissions o  Rapidly consider various new

design concepts

•  Keys to success: o  Use of LMS Imagine.Lab

•  Results: o  Significantly reduced need for

testing and physical prototypes o  Accelerated design process

Siemens’ NX CAE § Work with any CAD source

§ Fast, easy-to-use geometry tools and automatic clean up of CAD models

§ Robust and comprehensive meshing

§ Multiple simulation disciplines and open support for external solvers

§  Integrated & extensible environment

Open, multi-discipline environment for simulation experts

"We believe that significant cost savings and productivity gains can be accomplished with careful and strategic CAE tool standardization."

Nathan Christensen Senior Manager

Engineering Tools and Analysis

•  Business challenges: o  Redesigning launch-pad structures

•  Keys to success: o  Integrated design and analysis (FEA

and motion) using NX

•  Results: o  Faster creation of analysis models o  Analysis plays a greater role in the

design process o  Less analysis rework

Case Study: ATK

NX CAE provides options for designers to use simulation with confidence § Wizards, designer applications

§  Templates built by simulation experts for use by non-experts

§ Same underlying solver technology trusted by the experts

§ Scalable environment

Empowering designers with simulation tools

•  Business challenges: o  Time-consuming, iterative analyses

required for engineered-to-order products

•  Keys to success: o  Integrated NX modeling and analysis o  NX Open automated process

•  Results: o  40-hour iterative analysis process drops

to 15 minutes o  Automated processes can be run by non-

analysts

"The NX toolset is world-class functionality."

John Lambert President, CEO

Case Study: Design Automation Associates




Enable enterprise-‐‑wide access to simulation insights


Siemens’ Teamcenter Simulation § Manage simulation data in-context

with product data

§ Enable complete traceability for decisions

§ Manage and standardize access to simulation tools

§ Provide visibility for program management to make decisions

Enabling enterprise-wide visibility and access

"What we re-engineer is our analysis. Our analysis is very important to us and is a measure of our success, even as much as our design."

Marc Solomon PLM Chief Engineer and Engineering

Systems Architect

Case Study: United Launch Alliance

•  Business challenges: o  Hundreds of disconnected in-house and

commercial analysis tools o  Terabytes of unmanaged simulation data

•  Keys to success: o  Deploying the Teamcenter simulation

process management solution

•  Results: o  Ability of engineers to trace analysis chain

and understand how decisions were made, o  Smarter decisions, improved deliverables

There’s a tremendous amount of craftsmanship in between a good idea and a great product. The idea changes and grows, and you find there are tremendous tradeoffs you have to make.

This is where simulation makes the difference.
