Over the past decade, Computer Aided Engineering (Simulation) has experienced explosive growth being a significant enabler for: 1. Validating product design; 2. Providing low-cost methods for exploring a variety of product design alternatives; 3. Optimizing parts for better service performance; 4. Reducing dependence on physical testing; 5. Reducing warranty costs; 6. Achieving faster time to market. This rapid growth in the number of simulations performed and the amount of data generated in the absence of any significant data and process management initiatives has led to considerable inefficiencies in the CAE domain. Many companies now recognize the need to manage their CAE process and data as well as their desire to leverage their existing PDM systems as the primary repositories of CAE data. Some major issues are: 1. There is a need for a PDM data model to support CAE; 2. The CAE data model can be very complex; 3. There is an immense variety of CAE applications and data types; 4. Many CAE simulations require access to physical test data for input and correlation; 5. Data management discipline is not typically part of the CAE culture today. Despite the unique challenges posed by bringing PDM into the CAE world, the transition could occur faster than it has in the CAD world. This presentation will showcase an approach for managing CAE data in traditional PDM systems. Two working examples of CAE process automation software solutions integrated with CAD and PDM will be discussed. In particular, these applications will show how CAE users can leverage established PDM infrastructure and interact with EDS’ Teamcenter/Enterprise, Teamcenter/Engineering and Dassault Systeme’s SmarTeam through seamless integrations with their CAE systems.

With the wide availability of low-cost proximity sensors, a large body of research focuses on digital person-to-person contact tracing applications that use proximity sensors. In most contact tracing applications, the impact of SARS-CoV-2 spread through touching contaminated surfaces in enclosed places is overlooked. This study is focused on tracing human contact within indoor places using the open OGC IndoorGML standard. This paper proposes a graph-based data model that considers the semantics of indoor locations, time, and users’ contexts in a hierarchical structure. The functionality of the proposed data model is evaluated for a COVID-19 contact tracing application with scalable system architecture. Indoor trajectory preprocessing is enabled by spatial topology to detect and remove semantically invalid real-world trajectory points. Results show that 91.18% percent of semantically invalid indoor trajectory data points are filtered out. Moreover, indoor trajectory data analysis is innovatively empowered by semantic user contexts (e.g., disinfecting activities) extracted from user profiles. In an enhanced contact tracing scenario, considering the disinfecting activities and sequential order of visiting common places outperformed contact tracing results by filtering out unnecessary potential contacts by 44.98 percent. However, the average execution time of person-to-place contact tracing is increased by 58.3%.

Most safety related valves in EDF’s nuclear plant must prove their ability to sustain thermal shocks of approximately 240K amplitude. This paper evaluates the simulation of a globe valve tested for thermal shocks. Since the physical test campaign showed inadequate internal sealing, the simulation focuses on the residual deformation of the hard alloy, planar seat, welded on successive body designs. This deformation is the result of the thermal loadings first induced by the welding process, then by fluid flow inside the valve. A chain of 3D simulations successively computes: a welding temperature transient in the body, the resulting strain hardening — especially in the seat vicinity —; temperature transients in the flow and the valve parts, and the resulting strains in the body causing a bump deformation of the seat surface. This end result agrees with measurements on the tested valve specimen. We show that inaccurate results are obtained on simpler assumptions, such as no welding, and we give insights on the dominant effect of the first hot, cold, hot transient over other profiles. Finally, the agreement we obtain on deformation predictions is toned down by an unsatisfactory sealing prediction, as well as the complexity and duration of the simulation chain compared with physical testing.

Abstract The success of any industry in today’s highly competitive market is largely dependent on its ability to produce quality products, quickly and at low cost. Evaluating the effect of a product design on its manufacture is crucial in developing efficient designs. Any potential manufacturing problems detected at this stage can be corrected by modifying the design, leading to shorter product development cycles and lower production costs. This paper presents an algorithm to determine feasible tool approach directions. The algorithm is based on detecting if any part of the object obstructs the tool path. The basis for the algorithm is determining feasible approach directions and clearances around a planar polygonal face. The algorithm is applicable to both protrusions and depressions. The information is useful in performing manufacturability analysis of designs and develop process plans.

We present an automated method to aid a Decision Maker (DM) in selecting the ‘most preferred’ from a set of design alternatives. The method assumes that the DM’s preferences reflect an implicit value function that is quasi-concave. The method is iterative, using three approaches in sequence to eliminate lower-value alternatives at each trial design. The method is interactive, with the DM stating preferences in the form of attribute tradeoffs at each trial design. We present an approach for finding a new trial design at each iteration. We provide an example, the design selection for a cordless electric drill, to demonstrate the method.

[The final form of this paper was published in the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology.] Considering that big data is a reality for an increasing number of organizations in many areas, its management represents a set of challenges involving big data modeling, storage and retrieval, analysis and visualization. However, technological resources, people and processes are crucial dimensions to facilitate the management of big data in any organization, allowing information and knowledge from a large volume of data to support decision-making. Big data management must be supported by technology, people and processes; hence, this article discusses these three dimensions: the technologies for storage, analysis and visualization of big data; the human aspects of big data; and, in addition, the process management involved in a technological and business approach for big data management.
