Common Source & Provenance at Virtual Product House

Abstract

In this paper we address the IT related issues which arise in the multi-fidelity, multi-disciplinary workflow of the Virtual Product House (VPH) start project. Different stakeholders are involved providing functionality as a service to simulate the end2end process from virtual design to virtual certification, including virtual manufacturing and virtual testing. Here, we present our two-fold approach for a collaborative design, implementation and operation of a common workflow among multiple stakeholders: A common simulation environment and the data tracing. A third aspect was added to support long-term reconstruction of data. We believe, that the approach presented in this paper can be used as blueprint for similar workflow settings.
