Patent ID: 8090812

Claim:
A Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) analysis progress management system wherein a terminal apparatus storing an analysis procedure of CAE analysis as a program is connected to a management apparatus managing a state of progress of CAE analysis via a communication network, wherein progress management information in which an analysis task of CAE analysis is divided into a plurality of steps is generated, the terminal apparatus transmits to the management apparatus progress state information of analysis task of each step at a predetermined timing in accordance with the generated progress management information, and the management apparatus uniformly manages progress state of analysis task by aggregating the progress state information transmitted from the terminal apparatus, wherein the management apparatus comprises a control section, a progress management information generation section, a progress confirmation information storing section, a progress state information storing section, and a progress state information aggregation section, and the terminal apparatus comprises a display section, an entry section, a screen display program storing section, an analysis know-how storing section, an analysis calculation processing section, a progress management information storing section, a prepost, and an interactive control section, wherein the terminal apparatus and the management apparatus each include a network interface for reciprocally connecting to one another, wherein the terminal apparatus requires user input via the entry section to perform the analysis task, and wherein processing/control and controlling functions are performed in each of the management apparatus and the terminal apparatus, wherein the terminal apparatus includes an interactive control section which allows for the terminal apparatus to perform the analysis procedure of CAE analysis via the communication network and the network interface, based on inputs obtained through the entry sections of the terminal apparatus, and have a support function to reciprocally support the analysis task.
