From industrial demands …

… towards an emerging interface standard

CAE-Workflows in manufacturing industry

- many specialised CAE tools for single manufacturing steps

- suffer from missing software standards

VMAP joint efforts

- to identify common needs and formalise a requirement analysis

- to create a robust and flexible framework for a future interface standard in CAE

- to elaborate technical details of the VMAP Interface Standard

- to realise already a number of useful software prototypes

Industrial Use Case Prototypes to demonstrate

- technical progress in software integration

- realised KPIs and expected commercial benefits

Dissemination and Standardisation

- fast growing visibility - wide technical acceptance – emerging community
