Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): The importance of simulation in product development is growing.
In order to manage a rapidly increasing amount of simulation data and make the design process as a whole simulation driven, programs for managing the lifecycles of simulations are needed.
To assess the suitability of a program for this purpose, an understanding of the features and tools required of such a program is needed.
Because there isn't very much literature in this field, most of the relating issues must be studied from similar topics and elicited from experts working with simulations.

Simulation data needs to be related to several kinds of data such as other simulation data, product data, or result documentation, and has a unique versioning and variant management scheme.
Nevertheless, the tools and methods for data management remain the same as always, namely organizing the data in a structured way, indexing or naming the data according to some policy, creating links between data objects and filling in metadata.
Any data management program should be able to do these things, so for this part even a product data management program would suffice.

Managing the processes related to simulation projects is the area needing the most improvements.
Optimizing a complex multi-disciplinary product is an iterative loop with several different special purpose programs involved.
Not only does a simulation driven design process need to be mapped out, automating it will require lots of programming work, the most burdensome part being the integration of the different programs and simulation file formats.
It is mainly the process management capabilities that distinguish one management program more suitable than another.

Performing a case study on one program shows how well the theoretical aspects can be implemented in practice with current software.
Other programs can be evaluated against these results.
Managing simulation driven projects also aims at improving an organization's knowledge base.
As batch processing capabilities constantly improve, methods for effectively utilizing the plethora of results are needed for creating knowledge.
Transforming an organization's design process to be simulation driven is a long incrementally implemented evolutionary process.
The organization's current processes and tools need to he mapped out along with a clear vision of what the desired state should be.
An assessment of which programs are to he used is required as well as a roadmap of the various stages to be implemented in a suitable sequence.
