User Workflow for Elin- Simulation Engineer:

Elin is a simulation engineer and works on Siemens Simcenter Amesim 2020.1 and uses MindSphere Closed Loop System Simulation along with Amesim. This is used to design and run studies using wide set of operational IoT data available in MindSphere. This helps the engineer to design better performing products, faster.

  • Preparing Functional Mock-up Unit (FMU) from model

  • Creates Study/ Simulation setting

  • Download data / Start Simulation

  • Analyze Simulation Results

  • Calibrates the model /Improves the design

At this stage, if the model is not accurate, Elin goes back to Amesim application and modifies the system model by fine tuning certain constants. Once the model is tuned, Elin uses Closed Loop System Simulation to run the simulation model and check the results. Elin does these steps till the model is fully calibrated.

User workflow for Olivia - Operation Engineer

Olivia is an operations engineer and uses MindSphere Closed Loop System Simulation to diagnose the performance of the physical assets in the field. To do so, Olivia compares the performance of the physical asset with a fully calibrated system model.

Olivia performs following steps:

  • Specify the assets

  • Start simulation

  • Analyzes the simulation results

  • Monitors/ diagnoses/ maintains the asset

Olivia checks the simulated result against the operational output data. The discrepancies in the two values helps Olivia diagnose problems with the physical asset.
