ESTECO announces the new release of ESTECO Enterprise Suite, which combines the advanced capabilities of the modeFRONTIER optimization platform with SOMO 1.6, the distributed execution framework for enterprise, collaborative design process management. Providing new, advanced integration capabilities, ESTECO confirms its role of as pioneer in numerical optimization solutions by bridging the standardization gap between design optimization and process automation, and high-level PLM processes.
With new SOMO plug-in connectors, ESTECO Enterprise Suite now provides secure and seamless integration with PLM systems and enables companies to link their simulation data to the enterprise product information backbone.
By leveraging PROSTEP AG OpenPDM software, ESTECO Enterprise Suite allows design teams, focused on the simulation and optimization stages, to connect with external repositories (Product Lifecycle Management, Product Data Management and file storage service databases) such as Siemens® Teamcenter® and PTC® Windchill®.
While SOMO users can easily transfer projects to and from SOMO and PLM repositories, consistency of simulation data links is ensured throughout the entire information flow, also when working at desktop level. ESTECO Enterprise Suite users combining multiple disciplines in their optimization workflow with modeFRONTIER can now import models and single-discipline projects stored in corporate PLM databases according to standard procedures.
In this way, integration experiences and fine-tuned optimization plans are replicated by exploiting a template-driven approach and automatically connected to the enterprise data infrastructure.
