Simulation Data & Process Management

CFD Data Management

Two BETA CAE products covering the full simulation data lifecycle — SPDRM for enterprise-scale process, data, and resources management, and KOMVOS as the interactive console where data meets its stakeholders. Both now part of Cadence.

Overview

From File Sprawl to a Single Source of CAE Truth

Effective management of simulation processes and the data they generate is paramount for product quality, time-to-market, and competitiveness. Spreadsheets, scattered folders, and tribal knowledge don't scale to modern engineering teams.

BETA CAE's data-management family — SPDRM and KOMVOS — gives CAE teams centralised data storage, version control, lifecycle management, process automation, and a single GUI for browsing, visualising, and acting on simulation data. From small-team file-based ANSA-DM to corporate SDM, the same tools scale with you.

Why It Matters

Simulation Data Is an Engineering Asset

Cross-Team Collaboration

Centralised data storage eliminates duplicated work and lost models — model-build, simulation, and downstream teams share one source of truth.

Full Data Traceability

Track data through the complete digital thread for simulation verification and troubleshooting — answer "where did this result come from?" instantly.

Productivity at Scale

Standardise and automate repeated tasks — turn engineer hours spent on plumbing into engineer hours spent on engineering.

Quality & Repeatability

Standardised validation procedures embedded in the workflow — runs are repeatable, defensible, and auditable.

Knowledge Capture

Capture specialist expertise as process templates so the next analyst doesn't reinvent the wheel.

Integration-Ready

Native connections to PDM / PLM, HPC, and test-data systems — fits the systems your organisation already runs.

How They Fit Together

SPDRM Is the Backbone. KOMVOS Is the Front End.

1

SPDRM stores & orchestrates

SPDRM holds the data (CAD, models, results, reports), captures the processes (Process Templates), and manages the resources (people, apps, HPC). It's where the rules live and where audit trails accumulate.

2

KOMVOS makes it usable

KOMVOS is the desktop application analysts open to browse, visualise, check-out, check-in, and launch processes. The same 3D viewer-based GUI is embedded inside ANSA and META so analysts never leave their main workspace.

3

ANSERS adds web access

For stakeholders who prefer a browser, ANSERS provides a web dashboard for browsing, visualising, and comparing model, simulation, and test data — different dashboards for different teams.

Integrations

Plugs Into the Systems You Already Run

SPDRM ships with built-in interfaces to the PDM / PLM, CAD, HPC, and CAE tools that already form the backbone of your engineering organisation — no rip-and-replace required.

Out-of-the-box connectors

  • PDM / PLM systems
  • CAD systems (CATIA, NX, Pro/E, JT, etc.)
  • Workload managers (LSF, SLURM, etc.)
  • ANSA & META (BETA CAE pre / post)
  • EPILYSIS solver + third-party solvers
  • Test data management systems
