DESCRIPTION
As tier one supplier in the automotive domain, VALEO provides components, systems and modules to car makers through its four Business Groups: Powertrain Systems, Thermal Systems, Comfort & Driving Assistance, and Visibility Systems. The group strategy is focused on innovative and high added value products, mainly on the CO2 emissions reduction and intuitive driving. In meeting the needs of our markets and products, it appeared important to have a standard multiphysics simulation framework for applying innovative methods, to cut design times and deliver high quality and consistent results. In this perspective, Altair has been selected after a market analysis, and a project has been launched for addressing our challenges. Based on a unified and opened multiphysics environment, this project aims at easing the use of HPC and optimization processes, reducing drastically the number of PLM interfaces, capturing the knowledge and methods for an easy replay, and automating the simulation process to be run by CAD designers. The author proposes to share the genesis and the objectives of this project with the audience.TRANSCRIPT

Needs analysis / Our projects
Our innovative products are mechatronics / multiphysics:
Coupling between physics is strong:
Mechanical / Rheology,
Mechanical / CFD,
CFD / Rheology,
CFD / Electrical / Electromagnetic,
…
Our future PLM will address mechatronics projects through:
The merge of ECAD and MCAD data
The bond between the simulation models (CAE data) and project
Multiphysics projects require heavy HPC resources
Stop Start System

Needs analysis / Current situation
Several GUI* for different physics > 6 pre/post: Mechanical, CFD, Electro-magnetic… Simulation engineers skilled with different environments < 10% simulation population
Many interface development requests for CAD, between
solvers (>20) for multiphysics, PLM Too many interfaces to develop and to maintain
The lack of transverse technical support: makes impossible to acquire and offer an expertise on > 6 pre/post
has a significant impact on the efficiency by:
slowing down the development and the use of metier / domain tools,
precluding the share and re-use of methodologies between BGs,
reducing the promotion of advanced simulations: multiphysics, optim.
Low visibility on tool providers’ roadmap / our needs
GUI*: Graphical User Interfaces
June 2014 I 15 Property of Valeo. Duplication prohibited
Needs analysis / Conclusion
An unique & well known environment for addressing all
physics / a standard multiphysics framework in order to:
enhance overall simulation efficiency (automation, advanced sim.),
provide metier / domain tools for E / M-CAD designer,
improve data exchanges between physics and the access to HPC
resources,
ease the collaborative exchanges between sites: a single PLM /
SLM* interface,
set a transverse technical support team: Training, methodologies,
best practices …
develop a collaboration program with the tool provider for
enhancing the visibility on both sides: roadmap / deployment
SLM*: Simulation Lifecycle Management
