Automatisierung von CAE-Workflows: Verbesserung von Engineering-Simulationen mit intelligentem Datenmanagement

In today’s engineering landscape, Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) workflows are becoming increasingly complex, requiring high computational power, structured data management, and automation to improve efficiency. By integrating High-Performance Computing (HPC) solutions, businesses can streamline simulation workflows, reduce manual effort, and enhance scalability for faster and more accurate results.
Optimizing CAE processes through automation significantly reduces repetitive tasks, allowing engineers to focus on innovation rather than manual configurations. Job orchestration tools help automate preprocessing and postprocessing steps, ensuring that simulations run efficiently with minimal human intervention. AI-driven workload management further optimizes compute resource allocation, enabling seamless execution of simulation jobs while maximizing performance. 

Efficient data handling is crucial for managing CAE workloads across distributed HPC environments. Implementing a structured approach through solutions like Data Context Hub (DCH) allows for efficient classification, retrieval, and sharing of simulation data. This ensures that engineering teams can easily access and utilize relevant datasets across various computing infrastructures, improving collaboration and workflow efficiency. 

Hybrid HPC environments provide the scalability required for compute-intensive CAE simulations. Companies can dynamically allocate resources for simulations such as crash analysis in automotive safety, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for aerodynamics optimization, and multiphysics modeling for structural, thermal, and electromagnetic analyses. By leveraging cloud bursting, organizations can extend on-premises HPC clusters with cloud resources, adjusting compute power based on real-time demand while maintaining cost control. 

GNS Systems has extensive experience in automating CAE workflows across industries such as automotive, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals. Our expertise in HPC-driven engineering automation enables businesses to efficiently manage large-scale simulations, optimize product development cycles, and accelerate innovation. By integrating automated workflows, smart data management, and hybrid HPC solutions, we help organizations achieve higher efficiency, accuracy, and scalability in their engineering simulations.

Unlocking Precision with DCH: Contextualized Data for Enhanced Decision-Making 

In today's data-driven world, accessing information is no longer challenging—understanding and leveraging it effectively is. This is where the Data Context Hub (DCH) excels, bridging the gap between raw data and actionable insights by delivering unparalleled contextualized data capabilities. By simplifying the integration of fragmented data across diverse sources such as R&D systems, manufacturing processes, and operational workflows, DCH empowers organizations to overcome silos, fostering collaboration and ensuring data integrity. At the heart of DCH lies its Intake-Context-Delivery (ICD) framework, which enables businesses to transform vast datasets into meaningful insights. The Intake phase gathers data from various sources, including ERP systems, telemetry streams, and data lakes. The Contextualization phase processes and transforms this data into structured knowledge maps tailored to specific domains, allowing teams to focus on actionable insights. Finally, the Delivery phase ensures seamless integration of these insights into existing business systems via easy-to-use APIs, enabling real-time, data-backed decision-making. The impact of DCH spans multiple industries. In the automotive sector, DCH aids in virtual buildability by integrating simulation parameters and production data, reducing uncertainties and optimizing workflows. In manufacturing, it streamlines assembly steps and minimizes manual interventions, accelerating design cycles and boosting operational efficiency. In healthcare, DCH supports predictive patient care and resource optimization by providing accurate trend forecasting and contextualized analytics. DCH is not just a tool but a catalyst for innovation, enabling industries to adopt advanced AI capabilities while ensuring security and scalability. By integrating federated data spaces such as Catena-X, DCH creates a trusted ecosystem for seamless cross-industry collaboration. Its ability to contextualize data transforms the way organizations operate, driving smarter decisions and unlocking new growth opportunities. Ready to revolutionize your data strategy? Contact us today and discover how DCH can redefine decision-making and operational efficiency for your organization.

Integrate CAE workflows for maximum productivity in development environments 

Want better products in less time? 

With a powerful cloud-based development environment, engineers can accelerate development processes for all compute-intensive CAE tasks. However, the challenge remains: Not all engineers can fully exploit the potential of the cloud.

The challenges: 
Although CAE processes and workflows already flow together in the cloud, not all engineers can derive the same added value from them. Virtual product development often requires customer-specific applications and tools. These custom tools can make cloud integration difficult and slow down the process. CAE simulations and data analysis are often siloed, leading to inefficiencies.

The Solution: 
 Our Digital Engineering Center (DEC) provides centralized, on-demand access to the tools and data engineers need:
  All CAE tools and resources in one cloud-based simulation platform, minimizing latency and accelerating results. Faster and more efficient handling of computationally intensive tasks through holistic optimization of CAE processes and workflows.Supports individual infrastructure requirements for global access, even from the home office.

Key benefits:
 Unlimited availability – Cloud access means services and data are always available, accelerating CAE workloads and innovation.
Optimized for workloads – Custom cloud environments free up time for more complex tasks.High automation – Automated processes reduce idle time and significantly speed up simulation cycles. Cost reduction – On-demand automation lowers IT costs, reduces errors, and increases operational efficiency. Improve your engineering workflows. Maximize productivity. Unleash your full potential in the cloud!
