Real FEA Made Easy. Free Femap webinar from Siemens PLM Software

Femap^® is an advanced engineering structural analysis program. Being both CAD and solver independent, it has become the world's most versatile and popular engineering analysis environment. It is real FEA made easy - you don't have to be a specialist to use Femap!

Today's engineering design industry demands increasing speed to market. Through the use of finite element analysis (FEA), designs can be simulated, verified and optimized in a virtual environment, reducing costly and time consuming physical prototypes required for conventional design verification.

In a new seminar from Siemens PLM Software, you will learn about how analysis can benefit your design processes and how Femap can be used to virtually prove your design before going into production or manufacturing prototypes.

Pay-Per-Use Becomes Mantra for Altair Engineering

To most people, developing the complex software that powers HPC systems is the "rocket science" that makes technical computing so hard. But perhaps an equally challenging aspect for software vendors has been devising a viable licensing model for the era of multicore processing and utility computing.

Altair is planning to expand the functionality of PBS with additional modules and features, allowing them to hold the line on the tokens/job ratio through the quad-core era.

Dassault Systèmes Announces the Release of SIMULIA SLM for Simulation Lifecycle Management

Dassault Systèmes (DS), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today announced the early availability of SIMULIA SLM, a new product suite from its SIMULIA brand that will have a positive impact on the way that organizations perform and manage their simulation processes.

The use of simulation has become an increasingly vital process in developing innovative products quickly. SIMULIA SLM accelerates the product development lifecycle by providing timely access to the right information through secure storage, search, and retrieval functionality that is specific to simulation processes and data. SIMULIA SLM maximizes the value of company-generated intellectual property (IP) through the capture, re-use, and deployment of simulation best practices. It also provides tools for control and sharing of simulation data for collaborative product development.

Cranes Strengthens its Presence in the Engineering Simulations Domain - Diversifies its Offerings to Automotive Manufacturers with the Acquisition of Engineering Technology Associates (ETA)

Cranes Software International Ltd. has announced the acquisition of US based specialized auto consulting and product development firm, Engineering Technology Associates, Inc. (ETA).

At a strategic level this initiative represents the Company's foray into the fast growing Chinese Auto market. ETA, a tier one vendor to the top three US car manufacturers was founded in 1983, and is headquartered in Troy Michigan. Their expertise lies at developing Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) centric products for auto safety, vibration, and noise testing, under simulated conditions. ETA caters to the growing safety needs of the auto industry and is recognized for its expertise in simulation testing. ETA products are bundled with LS-DYNA.

In 2005, Cranes Software acquired the Indian arm of Engineering Mechanics Research Corporation (EMRC). With this acquisition, Cranes Software not only offers a Finite Element Analysis (FEA), through the NISA family of suites, but also provides Computer Engineering Services (CAE) to clients in different domains.

CosmosWorks 2008 review

With the release of SolidWorks 2008 now rolled out to customers, Al Dean (MCAD Online) take a look at what’s in store for simulation users.

Every SolidWorks release is a pretty big undertaking – after all, that’s what software vendors do isn’t it – release more software (most profound – Ed). While the new user interface, the new direct interaction methodologies and other bright shiny things have clocked up the most column inches, there’s plenty of meat to sink your teeth into elsewhere in 2008 – so I’m going to take a quick look at what the simulation and analysis guys can sink their teeth into.
