The CAE Communication challenges

Many many CAE/CFD output formats Requires many tools to

process results. No single system to view

them all easily and cost-effectively.

Bottleneck for communication and collaboration.

The CAE Communication challenges

More and more big files 10GB to 100+GB each！ Difficult to

move/transfer Difficult to manage High percentage

content in the output are not used/useful.

The Consequence

No need to store all the data High transfer cost Communication/Collaboration hindered Need many tools to view Need complex system to manage

VCollab Product

VMoveCAE To extract and compress CAE/CFD outputs. VMoveCAD for CAD data. Can be used as shared utility, implemented with workflow etc.

Vcollab Pro Annotate, combine multiple CAXs into one CAX, Animate with view points, save back to CAX.

Vcollab Function-rich, light-weight viewer/post-processor. Can be inserted to MS documents and managed as a simulation

archive by data management systems.


VCollab Beneifts

Key and small size CAE results file. Reduce storage and data transfer

Enable collaboration Single viewer for multiple discipline Allow non-expert to view results.

3D CAX document can be used as long term archive. Support Simulation Data Management
