SimManager, a component of SimEnterprise, is MSC Software’s enterprise simulation process and data management solution, which provides a systematic approach to simulation/virtual test data management and process automation.

By using SimManager, Hyundai can establish an automated standard simulation and testing knowledge process that integrates in-house and legacy technology onto a common integrated environment, enabling reuse of best practices that increases the speed of analysis, the bandwidth of engineers, and saves both time and money for the company. The repository of associated simulation data facilitates a knowledge-base for full simulation audit trails.

Bill Weyand, CEO of MSC Software, said: Automotive manufacturers face increasing pressures to use simulation to produce reliable performance predictions that reduce the need for physical prototypes and provide more accurate and complete results.
