Introduction
• FEA is „de-facto“ standard in all industries for virtual product development
• After 60 years of FEA efficient application has still much room for improvement
• Software development is still primarily feature and function driven
NAFEMS World Congress 2015 | 21-24 June | San Diego | California | USANAFEMS UK Conference 2016 | 15-16 June | Telford | UK
Introduction
• Strategic aspects are still not of majotinterest– Methodology development– Integration of simulations into development
and innovation processes
• Main cause for lack of efficiency is conflict between– Software training– Application of software for specific tasks
NAFEMS World Congress 2015 | 21-24 June | San Diego | California | USANAFEMS UK Conference 2016 | 15-16 June | Telford | UK
Introduction
• Goal of every simulation must be to support the product development process at its best
• Next Generation Software
– Optimization of application an interaction of software tool to optimal support product development

Simulation Software versus Simulation Process Modelling
• Next Software Generation
– Does not replace traditional engineering analysis software
– Is complementary to existing software– Is a logical, also revolutional, next step
NAFEMS World Congress 2015 | 21-24 June | San Diego | California | USANAFEMS UK Conference 2016 | 15-16 June | Telford | UK
Simulation Software versus Simulation Process Modelling
• The last 25 years of FEA– Feature based “rich” or “high-fidelity” single
physics software development– Basic research on coupled physics– Industrial applications for single discipline /
physics– First multiphysics applications– System level simulation (with multidisciplinary
approach)– Simulation driven engineering
NAFEMS World Congress 2015 | 21-24 June | San Diego | California | USANAFEMS UK Conference 2016 | 15-16 June | Telford | UK
Simulation Software versus Simulation Process Modelling
• Simulation process modeling is a key technology to enable Simulation Driven Engineering on a broad basis
• Engineering Analysis software– Modeling of functional performance of products
• Bottom-up approach
• Simulation process modeling – Looks at its highest level at major phases of the
product development process• Top-down approach
NAFEMS World Congress 2015 | 21-24 June | San Diego | California | USANAFEMS UK Conference 2016 | 15-16 June | Telford | UK
Simulation Software versus Simulation Process Modelling
• Major phases of the product development process– Strategy Development
• Research and defining the opportunity
– Ideation• Generating the next breakthrough product
– Concept and Feasibility• Developing a winning product value proposition
– Build & Pilot• Prototype your product, marketing and customer experience
– Rollout• Accelerate your marketing and advertising for growth
NAFEMS World Congress 2015 | 21-24 June | San Diego | California | USANAFEMS UK Conference 2016 | 15-16 June | Telford | UK
Simulation Software versus Simulation Process Modelling
• For each phase optimal methods and processes are being developed
• The following modeling dimensions are being varied– Dimension “detail”– Dimension “linearity”– Dimension “scale”
• From system level to component
NAFEMS World Congress 2015 | 21-24 June | San Diego | California | USANAFEMS UK Conference 2016 | 15-16 June | Telford | UK
Simulation Software versus Simulation Process Modelling
• Dimension “detail”– From lumped parameter LPM (sub-)models to
3D fully detailed FEA models. E.g. for a multiphysical application:

Simulation Software versus Simulation Process Modelling
• Dimension “linearity”– From linear to fully nonlinear models
NAFEMS World Congress 2015 | 21-24 June | San Diego | California | USANAFEMS UK Conference 2016 | 15-16 June | Telford | UK
Simulation Software versus Simulation Process Modelling
• Key elements
– Evolution from simple concept models to highly complex and detailed models close to SOP
– “Growing” simulation models
NAFEMS World Congress 2015 | 21-24 June | San Diego | California | USANAFEMS UK Conference 2016 | 15-16 June | Telford | UK
Benefits of Simulation Process Modelling
• Disadvantage– Simulation process model must have a
minimum detail and completeness level• Needs critical mass of potential applications
• Benefits are significant and manifold– typically short-term noticeable
NAFEMS World Congress 2015 | 21-24 June | San Diego | California | USANAFEMS UK Conference 2016 | 15-16 June | Telford | UK
Benefits of Simulation Process Modelling
• Similar benefits as with the first time introduction of CAE– Virtual systems can be used as test beds for
innovations– More freedom in design decisions– Design changes can be evaluated without
building physical prototypes• Advantages are not only limited to
component level– Impact also on system level
NAFEMS World Congress 2015 | 21-24 June | San Diego | California | USANAFEMS UK Conference 2016 | 15-16 June | Telford | UK
Benefits of Simulation Process Modelling
• The intensification of the following business benefits can be observed
– Speed up development process– Reduce development costs– Minimize prototype expenses– Improve product quality
NAFEMS World Congress 2015 | 21-24 June | San Diego | California | USANAFEMS UK Conference 2016 | 15-16 June | Telford | UK
Benefits of Simulation Process Modelling
• Perfect match with a recent NAFEMS study (“The NAFEMS Simulation Capability Survey 2015”)– “respondents were asked to give a reason
why the simulation capability had a positive impact”
NAFEMS World Congress 2015 | 21-24 June | San Diego | California | USANAFEMS UK Conference 2016 | 15-16 June | Telford | UK
Benefits of Simulation Process Modelling
– “the reasons why capabilities had the least impact”
• Lack of skills/experience is still a major blocking factor for applying new simulation capabilities

Example of an Industrial Application
• Implementation of a simulation process model for the development of automotive audio systems
– M-voiD® : Multidisciplinary virtually optimized industrial Design
– Advanced CAE methods and other virtual procedures for all disciplines involved in the product development process
