Isight & the SIMULIA Execution Engine

Isight is a solution that provides engineers with a suite of visual and flexible tools for creating simulation process flows—consisting of a variety of applications, including commercial CAD/CAE software, internally developed programs, and Excel spreadsheets—in order to automate the exploration of design alternatives and identification of optimal performance parameters.

Isight enables users to automate simulation process flows and leverage advanced techniques such as Design of Experiments, Optimization, Approximations, and Design for Six Sigma to thoroughly explore the design space. Advanced, interactive postprocessing tools allow engineers to explore the design space from multiple points of view.

Isight comes equipped with a standard library of components, which form the building blocks of Isight process flows. A component is a container with its own interface for integrating and running a particular simulation application directly within Isight.

The Isight component architecture also supports the integration of customer-proprietary applications. This open integration technology is generic in order to work with a wide range of internally developed scripts, applications, and databases.

The Execution Engine can be utilized as part of a SIMULIA Simulation Lifecycle Management deployment, or can be accessed directly from Isight or a customizable web interface.

By using the Execution Engine, users, administrators, and IT organizations are able to control where models are executed and the process by which they are run, allowing for optimum use of hardware and computing resources. The software integrates seamlessly with existing enterprise web application servers and databases.

Using the Execution Engine, engineering groups are able to execute complex, multidisciplinary design processes in the most cost-effective manner to quickly deliver more competitive and profitable products to the market.
