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.

The CAE Communication challenges
More and more big files 10GB to 100+GB each! Difficult to
move/transfer Difficult to manage High percentage
content in the output are not used/useful.

The Consequence
No need to store all the data High transfer cost Communication/Collaboration hindered Need many tools to view Need complex system to manage
Track.

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.
