The tools that Isight provides allow you to set up and manage various software components utilized by the design process, including commercial CAD/CAE software, internally developed programs, and Microsoft Excel worksheets. The open API supports the development of custom interfaces to link additional in-house and commercial applications by partners and customers. The rapid integration of these applications and Isight’s ability to automate their execution greatly accelerates the evaluation of product design alternatives. Using advanced techniques such as optimization, Design for Six Sigma (DFSS), approximations, and Design of Experiments (DOE), you are able to thoroughly explore the design space. Advanced, interactive postprocessing tools allow you to see the design space from multiple points of view. Design trade-offs and the relationships between parameters and results are easily understood and assessed, leading to the best possible design decisions. If desired, you can use Isight in conjunction with the SIMULIA Execution Engine to manage the execution of your simulation processes. About the SIMULIA Execution EngineThe SIMULIA Execution Engine manages the execution of simulation processes to enable optimum use of hardware and computing resources. When you use Isight in conjunction with the SIMULIA Execution Engine, an internet-based distributed framework is created. The framework distributes execution of the simulation process among a local network of computers and supports collaboration (sharing models, components, plug-ins, etc.) among geographically distributed engineering and business partners. In this configuration Isight acts as the “client” and the SIMULIA Execution Engine acts as the “server.” | |||||||||
