Optimizational computations in automotive design processes require a coordinated interaction of possibly complex single applications. In this chain of processes the applications interchange large and complex sets of files. In the automotive design process individual complex computer aided engineering (CAE) applications are needed to interact in a coordinated way. The engineer goes through many iterations for various model modifications in order to obtain improving qualities of the design. This implies to cycle through a repeated loop of performing similar actions within the various CAE applications, including the exchange and conversion of large volume data sets. This process often involves time consuming manual interactions with the involved applications. This paper presents a solution to the problem of task automation. The engineering problem described highlights several aspects of process automation and collaboration commonly found in CAE environments. Conducting this optimization task should be managed for the engineer as clearly and easily as possible. As an example, a complex iterative optimization of a car's body part has been implemented. Handling of data and execution of applications have been automated. An additional abstraction of the execution process gives the freedom to migrate the computation to different hardware platforms and computational resources.
