Role of Engineering Services
As industry Best Practices have evolved in the area of product management, many elements are outsourced to Engineering Services Organizations such as CSM.

The reasons to do the same are:

• Complex and High End Technology: It is virtually impossible for all organizations to invest in all aspects of high end PLM software. Especially difficult to invest in are high end products that may not be used all the time making them very expensive resources. Organizations such as CSM are experts in this field and will provide these high-end design services to the customer. The customer only pays to the extent of use of CSM's services and is free from investing heavily into these technologies.
•  It is difficult to get high quality human resources to carry out high-end design activities. Such high quality human resources are extremely expensive for product design companies to maintain. Engineering Service Organizations, like CSM, who have the expertise in the domain and who are able to retain skilled manpower are able to readily provide such services in a cost-effective and timely manner to Product Design Companies.
•  Services organizations have varied experience; the benefits of robust processes that are built because of these engagements are available to all customers, giving them additional benefits.

CSM Software, during its 15-year service to Indian and worldwide industries, has provided analytical and design solutions to Product Design Companies. CSM is listing, in general and generic terms, few examples of such high-quality design support services provided to its customers product design companies.

Enumerated below are a few case studies:

Under-hood thermal management
This project was undertaken for a large automotive manufacturer to study the flow under the bonnet of the car and to understand the flow around the radiator for various vehicle speeds. The end benefit resulted in enormous saving in manufacturing and material costs. Virtual product development tools such as CATIA, STAR-HPC were used in the project to achieve the objectives.

This project was undertaken for a large automotive manufacturer to determine the Noise, Vibration and Harshness levels inside the passenger compartment. Design changes were incorporated as per the analysis carried out to ensure passenger comfort. The project also involved the usage of Virtual product Development tools such as CATIA & NASTRAN.
