7Grid Challengesin Automotive Industry
- The challenge of integrating
- different disciplines
- Design (CAD)
- Simulation (CAE)
- Test (CAT)
- different locations
- different organisations
8Product Structure- Simulation Structure
- CAD CAE Integration
- Situation
- For build-up of a simulation model
- structural information
- geometric and
- material data
- from CAD are needed
- Structure differs from load case to load case
- Geometric representation of the parts differs
from load case to load case
Only the CAE engineer knows,which part is used
and in which form it is represented

CAE structure(e.g. Trimmed Body)
CAD structure
- ontologies- if bottom plate in description,
part is for body-include and represented by a
mesh - if mass lt 5 g part is not needed
-
use ontologies

10Product Structure- Simulation Structure
- Selection of detected rules
- Structure parts are parts with the middle group
number801-806, 807-810, 813, 814, 817 - Structure parts were modelled physically (mesh)
- Structure parts go into the include body
- Status
- CAD-CAE mapping of more than 80 of a car with
1500 parts for NVH trimmed body - prototype with ontobroker realised
- 35 rules only from structural information
- in progress search for more rules using more
attributes

Audi Use Case for Distributed Data Access
- Audi SEAT collaboration
- e.g. display of SEAT projects in Audi system
- Network limitations
- Bandwidth 10 MBit/s for all Audi SEAT issues
- Data amounts

20HeterogeneousData Structures
CAE System
CAT System
- CAE System formulates request according to own
data model
- Request is transformed into data model of the CAT
system
- CAT System answers request. The answer is
transformed again and sent back
