PhoenixIntegrationPhoenixManual Trade Study Process
• Writing MATLAB scripts to perform trade studies
– Requires programming experience
– Is error prone– Debug process is time
consuming

STK/Analyzer builds a parametric representation of the scenario.
Any parameter in the tree can be used in a trade study by dragging it to the form on the right.

PhoenixIntegrationPhoenixManaging STK Usage
Needs:
• Version control of scenarios
• Collaboration of multiple users editing a single scenario
• Utilization of available cluster resources to accelerate STK/Analyzer runs
• Archival of scenarios in a central, web-accessible database
• Utilization of STK scenarios by non-expert users
Needs Vary:• Individual• Workgroup• Enterprise

PhoenixIntegrationPhoenixCenterLink Usage Model
• Analysts jointly work on developing one or more scenarios. – Scenarios are stored in a version controlled database.
• As studies are performed, they may be sent out to cluster resources to accelerate trades. – Results are archived in a web-accessible database.
• Customized GUIs may be created for scenarios that allow non-expert (or potentially future) people to repeat scenario calculations.

SOFTWARE INTEGRATION
Boeing uses Phoenix-Integration tools to link engineers from 3 separate locations and share access to models, cutting process time from 8 hours to 45 minutes
PRODUCT OPTIMIZATION
Ford Motor Company automated the crash simulation process to improve the safety of their cars. Head injury criteria was reduced by 24%, chest injury was reduced by 16% and overall compute time was reduced from 7 hours to 25 minutes.
DATA MANAGEMENT
Managers at GE reduced their design cycle times by 85% for a gas turbine power generator. GE uses Phoenix software to perform complex Six Sigma tasks.
