version / revision of all the products data (Ref. [25]). The product structure is
then used as a template to generate a new CAE product structure.
This CAE structure includes existing CAE data, additional CAE data not in
the Product Structure but needed for the analysis (e.g. a crash barrier), data
only needed for this analysis (e.g. only symmetrical components); all of this
is driven by rules configured for that analysis type (e.g. crash, NVH etc).
Thus multiple types of analysis can then be generated from the same
starting point, all of them are consistent and with the correct data for correct
analysis. The generation of the CAE structure is repeatable and provides a
fast reliable method of providing the correct data for the correct analysis.

This new CAE product structure provides the link to ensure changes can be
tracked, and changes propagated under user control and “where-used”
searches can be generated. The new CAE structure can be submitted to
workflows that are specific to CAE and run in “parallel” with the CAD design
work. This CAE structure is then used to “feed” process automation
solutions for the actual analysis runs. The results of the analysis need to be
captured and the simulation PDM system needs to be flexible enough to
manage different types of result data, and these can vary from very large
result files to a few parameter values. Also reports and visualization data
needs to be captured.
All of this data is then available for the next design iteration or new designs
re-using existing data. Linking the reports of an analysis to the original
requirements stored in the PLM system provides the loop-back to ensure
the design meets the performance requirements.
