After releasing the first public version of the Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) data interface standard in January, the ITEA VMAP project has now started distributing version 0.4 of this interoperability standard for the creation of use cases external to the project (available on www.vmap.eu.com).

One of M2i’s contribution to the VMAP project is the development of a VMAP standard based wrapper to allow the transfer of data between Moldflow and other CAE software. It will be demonstrated by solving a complex chain simulation use case, i.e. the manufacturing of a Philips shaver. The wrapper will be made available to the general public. More information
