ANSYS Engineering Knowledge Manager 13.0 Announcement

As you build products faster, with higher quality, at lower costs, meeting functional requirements, and surpassing marketing requirements, you generate a lot of data from engineering simulation. Wouldn’t it be better to spend more time solving difficult technical problems rather than archiving and searching for data?

ANSYS Engineering Knowledge Manager (ANSYS EKM) 13.0 is a simulation process and data management (SPDM) software product that provides solutions for engineers who are challenged with managing these vast amounts of data and best practices. By managing simulation data and processes using ANSYS EKM technology, companies can more effectively leverage the full power of simulation and capture the expertise of analysts and engineers who contribute to the process. The ultimate result is shortened time to market and safeguarding and reuse of the simulation’s intellectual property.

ANSYS EKM 13.0 offers many exciting new features and improvements.

  • Tighter integration with ANSYS Workbench with subsystem-based search for ANSYS Workbench projects and the ability to run these projects from within ANSYS EKM for parametric and DOE/optimization studies
  • Dynamic and workspace-specific configuration by using easy and intuitive graphical user interfaces. Configuration changes can now be made in a “live” system.
  • Distributed servers and multiple job submission queues for connecting multiple ANSYS EKM servers, integrating them with ANSYS Remote Simulation Manager (RSM) and launching jobs on multiple queues using an ANSYS EKM server
  • EKM Desktop and Studio enhancements for access to distributed data and creating simulation workflows; a new process player to manage work items associated with a workflow process in a single dialog
  • Windows® Explorer extension that allows Windows users to easily transfer files between their local computer and ANSYS EKM repositories
  • Simulation data visualization from within ANSYS EKM using Vcollab (www.vcollab.com) technology
  • Usability and other enhancements such as dashboards, message boards, support for units, filtering of types and attributes in advanced search, combination of text and property-based search, simpler definition of users and groups, catalogs for search-based navigation, etc.
