For us, the key is in connecting Abaqus/CAE to a corporate materials database through a simple app, right within the Abaqus interface. This allows the simulation user to find and apply the materials models they need without breaking their flow. If that corporate database is also the place where raw test data has been captured, processed, and analysed in order to generate simulation models, then we can be sure that we have the right data, and can maintain full traceability from test to simulation-ready data.
