With the addition of Comet’s technology, Aras closes the gap between simulation and mainstream design by providing simulation analysts with the means to repeat and reuse simulation while connecting their analysis to through-life product configuration and cross-discipline design.Ĭomet’s vendor-agnostic application also mirrors Aras’ open approach by connecting with a wide array CAD, FEA, meshing, 0D/1D simulation tools, and in-house applications which is a requirement to support organizations’ heterogeneous simulation tool environments – and therefore essential for SPDM to work.Ĭomet’s capabilities for managing mixed fidelity models, different data types, and various representations of the same product or assembly for simulation purposes are an important aspect for simulation management across systems engineering disciplines. The acquisition of Comet Solutions is an important step on Aras’ roadmap to develop platform-based SPDM to support higher volume simulation for the most complex scenarios. To date, broader use of simulation has been held back by the failure of simulation process and data management (SPDM) tools to connect simulation users to the enterprise. Industry experts anticipate increasing demand for simulation across the product lifecycle driven by product complexity, competitive pressure, and emerging opportunities with Digital Twin and IoT. The addition of Comet’s capabilities to the Aras PLM Platform provides a way for organizations to connect simulation – and simulation experts – to mainstream engineering processes for traceability, access, and reuse across the product lifecycle.īringing Simulation Processes Mainstream with an Open PLM Platform Using Comet’s technology, manufacturers are able to reuse complex simulations in order to scale the application and use of simulation results.

Aras, the leader in open product lifecycle management (PLM) software for the enterprise, today announced that it has acquired Comet Solutions, Inc., a provider of best-in-class software for simulation process management.
