Collaboration and Interoperability

The product development process depends on collaboration. Because simulation is such a vital part of the design process, collaboration is essential for simulation activities as well.

Autodesk® CFD provides two powerful collaboration and interoperability tools: Autodesk® Vault and Autodesk® 360. Both are useful for storing simulation data, but they work in different ways:

• Use Autodesk® Vault to manage and archive data in a firewall-protected network. Vault is ideal for data that is accessed only from within an organization.
• Use Autodesk® 360 to share simulation models and results with others outside of your corporate firewall network. You can access results images with mobile devices or from remote locations to monitor solution progress and to review your simulation results.
