Collaborative simulation environment framework based on SOA

In the product innovation development process, to solve the management difficulties of complex simulation process and mass engineering data, service-oriented architecture (SOA) was introduced into collaborative simulation environment (CSE) platform for production design. In the platform, the four subsystems of user management, flow management, engineering data management, and report management were abstracted into service components. Local, remote and grid services were integrated by using Web services and REST Service technologies. The common CAE tasks in simulation system were abstracted into appropriate granularity simulation components. Simulation flow can be freely built with the method of dragging simulation component, and simulation task can be accomplished on the uniform platform.
