1Reliability

If simulation work is concentrated on experts using specialized simulation tools, then simulation accuracy and reliability are improved, but simulation speed and responsiveness to customer requests deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimulation accuracyVSAvoidsimulation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The simulation system is segmented into multiple independent simulation modules (e.g., electromagnetic simulation module, thermal simulation module, mechanical simulation module). Each module handles specific simulation tasks independently, allowing parallel processing and distributing the workload across multiple experts or automated systems, thereby improving both accuracy and speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A universal simulation platform is created that can perform multiple types of simulations through interchangeable simulation modules. The platform provides common functionality for model import, parameter setting, and result analysis that works across different simulation types, enabling non-experts to perform various simulations without needing specialized knowledge for each simulation type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 1:

An automated simulation management system acts as an intermediary between non-expert users and complex simulation processes. The system automatically handles model validation, parameter verification, simulation execution, and result interpretation, shielding users from technical complexities while ensuring simulation reliability through automated checks and expert-prepared templates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

Pre-prepared simulation models and parameter sets created by experts are stored as reusable templates. Non-expert users can copy these validated templates and modify them for their specific needs, ensuring that simulations maintain expert-level quality while being easy to perform. The system automatically manages version control and validation of these copied templates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple simulation modules are used for complex simulations, then simulation versatility is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple simulation modules are merged into a single integrated simulation platform with a unified user interface and common data management system. The platform automatically coordinates between different simulation modules, manages data exchange between them, and presents unified results to users, hiding the underlying complexity while providing versatile simulation capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

Simulation modules are organized in a nested hierarchical structure where complex simulations are built by nesting simpler simulation modules within each other. The system automatically manages the execution sequence and data flow between nested modules, allowing users to perform complex multi-physics simulations by simply selecting and configuring high-level simulation scenarios without understanding the complexity of individual constituent modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
