Effectively Managing the CAE Process and Data Webcast

Since as much as 75% of a typical product's lifecycle cost is determined during the initial design phase, the return on investment for upfront analysis should be the highest.

Unfortunately, many companies struggle to leverage their valuable design experience while protecting intellectual property, or work hard to develop sophisticated methods with Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software but fall short of realizing their true potential to impact designs.

How do you capture and protect your companies design expertise, and apply it consistently design after design?

How can you make better use of powerful analysis software early in design when its impact is greatest?

Simulation Process and Data Management (SPDM) provides a systematic approach and infrastructure for managing the processes and data – both experimental and analytical – associated with CAE simulations and integrating these capabilities within existing Products Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Product Data Management (PDM) systems.

Enductive Solutions, a leader in this field, will provide an overview of this technology and show some examples of customized SPDM solutions.
