7.3 ModeFRONTIER and OpenTrack

modeFRONTIER is a multi-disciplinary software developed by ESTECO S.p.A. More details about ESTECO S.p.A. and its products are available in (Esteco S.p.A [7]). modeFRONTIER optimizes the engineering design process through the use of innovative algorithms and integration with leading simulation tools. Specifically, an engineering design process is a series of steps that the engineers must complete to find a solution of their design problem. modeFRONTIER enables the definition of the details of engineering design processes through an intuitive interface called mode-FRONTIER workflow. The modeFRONTIER workflow formulates all the logical steps composing the process and it defines the input and the output variables. In particular, it combines the Data Flow and the Process Flow. The Data Flow shows what data should be transferred from one step to the other. The Process Flow shows the sequence of actions to be taken and the conditions that have to be evaluated. The modeFRONTIER workflow allows the integration between external simulation tools as a Black Box. The Black Box contains the procedures that should be used to compute the values of the output variables according to the input variables of the engineering design process. For instance, the Black Box can be a calculator or an external tool, such as Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) tools. The Black Box is defined in the modeFRONTIER workflow by means of particular nodes. Figure 7.1 shows this concept of modeFRONTIER integration.
