Data Management & Collaboration

For all organisations, the management of intellectual property is important for effective product development and to maintain competitive advantage.

The challenge is to manage design and simulation data in a way that upholds Quality Assurance processes without restricting the flow of information through the development process.

Flowmaster V7 uses an industry standard relational database to store all model and simulation data. Users can work with a local database or logon to a centrally served database which allows multiple users to access the same source of data.

Key System Data Management Features:

• Audit trail & tracking of model history functionality keeps track of design changes and associated data, offering the user the ability to ‘roll back’ to previous versions to quickly compare results from different designs, saving valuable modelling time.
  
  
• User group administration tools allowing for the creation of project teams with difference access privileges to Flowmaster data.
  
  
• Securely store legacy data in an industry standard relational database. Store, share and track data securely, allowing for greater collaboration across project teams.
  
  
• Database synchronisation tool allow users to ‘check out’ Flowmaster networks from a central database enabling users to work away from the central Flowmaster server. Useful when working on site with clients.

Key Benefits

• Traceability of design changes throughout the entire development life-cycle with audit trail functionality
  
  
• Enhanced collaboration levels within project teams whilst remaining in complete control of data security
  
  
• Safeguarding against personnel changes by capturing past methodologies
