What is Product Lifecycle Management?Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the process of managing the entire lifecycle of a product from its conception, through design, analysis, and manufacture, to service, and disposal. In many industries, and particularly in the automotive industry, PLM is the backbone of how information about a product moves around inside a company.

What is Product Lifecycle Management?Wouldn’t it be great if your CFD Department was better plugged into this vital aspect of your company’s product design?Why? What do CFD departments benefit from integrating more closely with PLM. How does the Company benefit?How does STAR-CCM+ fit into this?

XML
The most valuable aspect of PLM systems for CFD/CAE usage is by far XML!! (Extensible Markup Language)XML lets you reference geometry that STAR-CCM+ can import, but also describe the data in ways that are really advantageous for automation.STAR-CCM+ currently supports importing 2 different types of XML schema. Most other schemae can be modified through some customization coding to read into STAR-CCM+.How do you import an XML file?

The sky is the limit with Meta-Data.
PLM Systems may not have everything you need (most are not CAE focused)
Customization starts here!
Add CAE Specific Information: Material Properties, etc.
During the workflow, you can add meta-data that can be referenced later in the process or exported to update a PLM system.
Now that you imported XML, Use that Meta-Data!

Leverage the Product Structure to your advantage
Your PLM system may already have enough
information to automatically categorize your parts
