JT File format을 이용한 CAE Data Management

Abstract

As CAE analysis becomes crucial for product design nowadays, an importance of CAE system is increased in the manufacturing industries. However, CAE analysis data cannot be shared efficiently among participants who involved entire design process of a product, because CAE data size is in general very large to deal with. Also it makes harder to manage CAE data since many kinds of CAE systems are used to analyze one product model. In this paper, we propose a system to improve usage of CAE data among engineers by developing an XML-based management module and a lightweight neutral data structure. JT, as a lightweight format, is accurate and effective for customizing internal data structure. By using JT format we are able not only to reduce the size of CAE analysis data but also to deal with CAE data from different applications. Furthermore, we introduce an XML-based CAE management module developed which helps engineer manage the proposed CAE format.
