Hyundai Motor Company Selects MSC.Software's SimManager
MSC.Software Corp. announced that the automotive manufacturer, Hyundai Motor Company, has selected MSC.Software's SimManager to manage their simulation processes and information in order to effectively reuse models, data, and expert methods.
SimManager, a component of SimEnterprise, is MSC.Software's enterprise simulation process and data management solution, and provides a systematic approach to simulation / virtual test data management and process automation. By using SimManager, Hyundai can establish an automated standard simulation and testing knowledge process that integrates in-house and legacy technology onto a common integrated environment, enabling reuse of best practices that increases the speed of analysis, the bandwidth of engineers, and saves both time and money for the company. The repository of associated simulation data facilitates a knowledge-base for full simulation audit trails.
Starting with their first implementation service, Hyundai was able to dramatically reduce time in preparing pedestrian protection analysis and achieve high improvement in efficiency of simulation data management. Based on this success the company is strongly considering expanding their simulation data management system including crash and NVH area.
"Automotive manufacturers face increasing pressures to use simulation to produce reliable performance predictions that reduce the need for physical prototypes and provide more accurate and complete results," said Bill Weyand, chief executive officer, MSC.Software Corporation. "The results achieved by SimManager not only help shorten business cycles, but increase the quality of products."
