ANSYS ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE MANAGER (EKM)
Organisations performing many FEA and/or CFD simulations are facing new engineering challenges - managing large amounts of data and reusing this data effectively. As simulation tools have matured and significant improvements have been made in their ease of use, companies are now making heavy use of these tools very early in the design process. It is not unusual to have multiple teams of engineers in different geographical locations using tools to run thousands of simulations each year to study and optimize the design of products under varying physical conditions. Parallel to this, the exponential increase in the power of computing resources has resulted in a proportional increase in the size and complexity of problems that are now being solved by simulation tools. File sizes of multiple gigabytes and data growth of multiple terabytes per year is becoming common.
ANSYS Engineering Knowledge Manager (EKM) is a Simulation Data, Process and Access Management system that manages all aspects of performing simulation. ANSYS (EKM) software is a web-based multi-user collaborative solution that is aimed at addressing the Simulation process, Data and Access management challenges faced by ANSYS customers. ANSYS EKM is tightly integrated with other ANSYS simulation offerings, and it can be very easily integrated with other simulation codes, including legacy and other commercial software.
ANSYS EKM permits various levels of product deployment. It is truly scalable from individual user to enterprise-level implementations. Multiple users in a workgroup environment can use ANSYS EKM to automate simulation processes and workflows as well as perform project management tasks. This helps improve the communication and collaboration among various group members.
By selecting one of the ANSYS EKM Workgroup licensing models, users can start realizing the value benefit from ANSYS EKM Workgroup product with minimal IT and setup requirements.
