Automate Design Exploration and Optimization

Industry Challenges In today’s computer-aided product development and manufacturing environment, designers and engineers are using a wide range of software tools to design and simulate their products. Often, the parameters and results from one software package are required as inputs to another package, and the manual process of entering the required data can reduce efficiency, slow product development, and introduce errors in modeling and simulation assumptions. SIMULIA’s Isight Solution Isight provides designers, engineers, and researchers with an open system for integrating design and simulation...

Open Component Framework Simulation Process Flows Isight provides a standard library of components— including Excel™, Word™, CATIA V5™, Dymola™, MATLAB®, COM, Text I/O applications, Java and Python Scripting, and databases—for integrating and running a model or simulation. These components form the building blocks of simulation process flows. The intuitive Design Gateway graphical user interface enables users to quickly create integrated simulation process flows, which couple simulation programs regardless of discipline, programming language, or format. The direct link between Isight and the...

Execution, Results Visualization, and Postprocessing The Runtime Gateway enables desktop and distributed execution of engineering process flows. It also enables the creation of graphs and tables to visualize results. All job results are saved automatically to a locally managed database. The user interface supports the creation of visual tools for real-time postprocessing of data such as tables, 2D and 3D plots, and statistical analysis. Isight provides interactive tools for visualizing parameter relationships as well as performance attribute tradeoffs with interactive approximations. Users can...

Baker Hughes Reduces Development Time from Months to Days The use of expandable tubulars has emerged as a popular technology for drilling and completing wells. While expandable tubulars vary in type depending upon the application and specific well requirements, the most common approach is to actually form the metals downhole, which presents unprecedented challenges for tool designers. The costs and timelines to achieve a “workable” product can be tremendous. Baker Hughes has effectively leveraged realistic simulation to address these impediments and enhance their understanding of the mechanics...
