5. Copyright © Visual Collaboration Technologies Inc. 2011 The CAE Communication challenges Many many CAE/CFD output formats  Requires many tools to process results.  No single system to view them all easily and cost- effectively.  Bottleneck for communication and collaboration..ENCASE.ODB.RTH.D3PLOT.bdf.FIL.PAT.CASE.CAS.OUT.CCM.ENCASE.ODB.RTH.D3PLOT.bdf.FIL.PAT.CAS.OUT.CCM.ENCASE.

12. Copyright © Visual Collaboration Technologies Inc. 2011 VCollab Product VMoveCAE  To extract and compress CAE/CFD outputs.  VMoveCAD for CAD data.  Can be used as shared utility, implemented with workflow etc. Vcollab Pro  Annotate, combine multiple CAXs into one CAX,  Animate with view points, save back to CAX. Vcollab  Function-rich, light-weight viewer/post-processor.  Can be inserted to MS documents and managed as a simulation archive by data management systems.

13. Copyright © Visual Collaboration Technologies Inc. 2011 VCollab Beneifts Key and small size CAE results file.  Reduce storage and data transfer Enable collaboration  Single viewer for multiple discipline  Allow non-expert to view results. 3D CAX document can be used as long term archive.
