MAD (Multidisciplinary Analysis and Design) links:
-
Structural, Fluid flow, electromagnetic signature, manufacturing process computations
-
Design, Manufufacturing, Sales and Support Functions
|
|
(Includes MDO -- Multidisciplinary Optimization)
|
Link Simulation and CAD Processes
-
Technically link CAD databases (using parallel database technology) to MPP simulations

This is really important application of HPCC as addresses "Amdahl's Law" as we use HPCC to support full manufacturing cycle -- not just one part! Thus large improvements in manufacturers time to market and product quality possible.

BUT must change and even harder integrate:
-
ALL software used in Manufacturing and this now comes from different vendors
-
The way of doing business in company
-
New job skills and cultures -- the hardest problem
