Software Description:
In today’s computer-aided product development and manufacturingenvironment, designers and engineers are using a wide range ofsoftware tools to design and simulate their products. Often, theparameters and results from one software package are required asinputs to another package, and the manual process of entering therequired data can reduce efficiency, slow product development, andintroduce errors in modeling and simulation assumptions.
SIMULIA’s Isight Solution
Isight provides designers, engineers, and researchers with an opensystem for integrating design and simulation models—created withvarious CAD, CAE, and other software applications—to automate theexecution of hundreds or thousands of simulations. Isight allowsusers to save time and improve their products by optimizing themagainst performance or cost metrics through statistical methods,such as Design of Experiments (DOE) or Design for Six Sigma. Isightcombines cross-disciplinary models and applications together in asimulation process flow, automates their execution, explores theresulting design space, and identifies the optimal designparameters based on required constraints.
Isight’s ability to manipulate and map parametric data betweenprocess steps and automate multiple simulations greatly improvesefficiency, reduces manual errors, and accelerates the evaluationof product design alternatives.
Open Component Framework
Isight provides a standard library of components—including Excel™,Word™, CATIA V5™, Dymola™, MATLAB®, COM, Text I/O applications,Java and Python Scripting, and databases—for integrating andrunning a model or simulation. These components form the buildingblocks of simulation process flows.
The direct link between Isight and the components allows for easymodification of a reference input deck, execution of the component,and the extraction of the output information. A full-featureddevelopment environment, based on EclipseTM, supports thedevelopment of components, whereas the open API extends additionalIsight capabilities. This open architecture allows SIMULIA and itspartners to offer a wide range of application components thatprovide a tighter integration with models developed in popularengineering software applications.
Here are some key features of “Isight”:
Design of Experiments
The DOE component enables engineers to quickly assess the impact ofvarious design variables based on a set of objectives and identifysignificant interactions. The design data produced by DOE runs canalso be used with approximation models for use with optimizationmethods.
Optimization
Isight provides a comprehensive selection of parallelizedoptimization techniques that can be applied to a variety ofproblems. It also includes techniques that can handlemulti-objective optimization problems.
Data Matching
This process enables simulation models to be calibrated byminimizing any variety of different error measures usingoptimization techniques. Target data can be imported asexperimental or simulation results.
Approximations and the Visual Design Driver
Isight offers powerful real-time tools to interpolate results ofcomputationally intensive realistic simulations. Approximationmodels are automatically cross-validated to ensure accuratepredictions. The Visual Design Driver allows users to see theirapproximation models from many different views and “surf” thedesign space graphically and interactively.
Quality Methods
Isight provides stochastic methods that account for variation inproduct designs and their operating environment. The Monte CarloSimulation (MCS) component offers an accurate method to addressuncertainty and randomness in the design process. It allows usersto sample the design space, assess the impact of knownuncertainties in input variables on the system responses, andcharacterize the statistical nature (mean, variance, range,distribution, etc.) of the responses of interest.
