14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung's Visual Display Division can now boast a 90% increase in the efficiency of product loading and design. ESI recently implemented its Simulation-Based Design environment, based on the VisualDSS, which aids in the automation of project workflow. The installment automatically generates standard reports, interfaces with a third party portfolio of PLM solutions for guided CAE automation (such as auto meshing and auto assembly), interfaces with SEC’s internal Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, all the while making use of process templates for CAE automation to facilitate SEC’s most common analyses (Mold Pressure and Wobble analyses) and automatically processing job submissions.
The Simulation-Based Design environment relies on the VisualDSS, ESI's end-to-end Decision Support System which builds and manages simulation models and manages simulation content and data for multi-domain usage. Being fully web-enabled, the engineers were easily able to access standard, automated processes and workflows. The actual Simulation-Based Design environment was devised by the ESI and CAE experts and integrates the Vdot project monitoring and execution platform optimizing development processes from ESI. When it integrated the Vdot, the VisualDSS became the first industrial version of ESI’s Project Team Manager.
“By integrating Vdot and third-party products into our VisualDSS solution, we were able to deliver to SEC a unified Simulation-Based Design environment,” said Mr. Donghyeob Cho, manager of Hankook ESI.
The end result of this joint effort of ESI and CAE IT experts and engineers from Samsung Electronics Group was a substantial increase in work efficiency, especially in regard to Mold pressure analysis and Wobble analysis which yielded time decreases of 90% and 95%, respectively. This means that the VisuatDSS served as a decision-making tool for the management of Samsung Electronics Corporation.
“Using guided CAE automation early in the design process enables us to identify the right concepts and verify design changes in order to save time and cost,” declared Mr. Jeong-Rho Lee, senior engineer at Samsung Electronics Corporation. “As we are very satisfied with ESI’s support and assistance throughout the project, we are looking into implementing the simulation data management system in other divisions.”
SEC visual display team members could also notice improved work efficiency by being able to much more quickly evaluate the effects of design changes to the LCD used in the testing of the design environment.
