Abstract/Summary: Thanks to the latest technological advances both in industries and the academic research centers, leaded by harder to fulfill customer needs and more complex products, innovation and competitiveness remain the major challenges for engineering solutions vendors, service providers companies and for OEMs and the network of their subcontractors. In order to improve quality, time to market and cost, companies and their partners need to collaborate in a basic and global way around product data and information, all along the product lifecycle. This issue is partially addressed in the proposed research work program focusing on the improvement of digital data management between engineering design and numerical simulation. The goal of the paper is first, to provide a literature survey on design and simulation data/information exchange and sharing in a collaborative context. Second, it introduces a conceptual framework dedicated to the management of design and simulation data exchange, based on simulation’s goals deployment and driven by functional requirements.
