Microsoft adds FEA/CFD/CAE firms - Altair Engineering Inc., ANSYS Inc., CD-adapco and Livermore Software Technology Corp. - to partner ecosystem

Four engineering software firms - Altair Engineering Inc., ANSYS Inc., CD-adapco and Livermore Software Technology Corp. - have recently converted their engineering software to run on Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003, Microsoft Corp. reported Nov 14, 2007 at the Society of Petroleum Engineers Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition.

Engineering High-Performance Computing (HPC) solutions for small to midsize companies and departments has traditionally been cost prohibitive. However, Windows Compute Cluster Server clusters - which are built to integrate seamlessly with the firm's existing Windows-based environment - are easy and cost effective to deploy and integrate with existing infrastructures, easy to manage and use, and fast and accurate.

Accelerating Automotive Design - InfiniBand enables simulation solutions using HPC platforms

High-performance computing (HPC) is a crucial tool for all levels of automotive design and manufacturing. It is used for computer-aided engineering (CAE) from the component level to full vehicle analyses: crash simulations, structural integrity, thermal management, climate control, engine modeling, exhaust, acoustics, and more. HPC helps drive faster times to market, cost reductions, and design flexibility. The advantage of HPC is the ability to achieve sustained performance by driving CPU performance toward its limit.

The motivation for HPC in the automotive industry has long been its tremendous cost savings and product improvements. The total cost of a single real vehicle crash test to determine safety characteristics is in the range of $250,000 or more. On the other hand, the cost of a high-performance compute cluster can be just a fraction of the price of a single crash test, while providing a system that can be used for every test simulation going forward.

VISTAGY and ESI Group Expand Partnership to Provide Complete Structural Analysis Simulation Process for Composites

VISTAGY, Inc., a leading global provider of specialized engineering software, today announced an expanded technology partnership with ESI Group, a world leader in virtual prototyping simulation. The partnership provides aerospace and automotive manufacturers with the most complete virtual 3D engineering environment for designing and analyzing products made of advanced composite materials. As a result of the partnership, composite product manufacturers will accelerate their development cycles while greatly reducing prototypes and ensuring product accuracy.

ESI Group announces the release of PAM-RTM for CATIA V5

ESI Group, the leading solution provider in physics-based simulation software announces the release of PAM-RTM for CATIA V5 used predominately in aeronautics, automotive, and shipbuilding industries. To answer the market requirement, ESI Group developed PAM-RTM for CATIA V5 as an application to simulate composite parts manufacturing based on liquid composite molding processes like resin transfer molding (RTM) or vacuum-assisted RTM (VARTM). Three-dimensional modeling now makes the study of thick parts possible and thermal management can be optimized.

ESI Releases PAM-CRASH 2G for Virtual Testing

ESI Group, the leading provider of digital simulation software based on the physics of materials, is pleased to announce the release of PAM-CRASH 2G, the virtual testing solution for impact, crash and safety professionals. The software serves clients in industries such as automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, and material producers. It also provides benefits in time-to-market and lifetime cost over traditional manufacturing techniques. It supports collaborative work between various actors involved in the simulation process.

NASA Tech Briefs Names ALGOR V20 as Product of the Month

NASA Tech Briefs (NTB), an official publication of the U.S. National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) that features exclusive reports of innovations developed by NASA and its industry partners/contractors, announced that ALGOR V20 finite element analysis (FEA) software was selected as the Product of the Month for June 2007. ALGOR V20 is the latest product release from ALGOR, Inc., a leading provider of design, analysis and simulation software located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

A new release of Tecplot RS 2007, an integrated plotting tool designed specifically for oil and gas reservoir modeling

Tecplot, Inc., the developer of Tecplot data visualization and technical plotting solutions, announces a new release of Tecplot RS 2007, an integrated plotting tool designed specifically for oil and gas reservoir modeling. Tecplot RS 2007 Release 2 offers many new user-requested enhancements; including: the ability to compare well data on a bubble plot; a new plot type for creating complex XY plots; and new functionality for controlling the color legend for grid variables. First released in 2003, Tecplot RS began as collaboration between Tecplot, Inc. and Chevron. The software was developed to meet the needs of reservoir engineers and allows data from multiple sources to be loaded and displayed in plots ranging from XY graphs to complex 3D renderings. Tecplot RS manages data from multiple reservoir simulation software applications, as well as observed data such as production rates and formation tests.

SolidWorks Releases COSMOSDesignSTAR 2007 for Analysis

SolidWorks Corporation today released COSMOSDesignSTAR 2007 analysis software, which encourages designers of all experience and skill levels to innovate aggressively by giving them easy-to-use analysis tools to help them catch and correct errors throughout the design process. COSMOSDesignSTAR’s associative analysis enables designers to integrate CAD models created using Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge, and SolidWorks into COSMOSDesignSTAR without re-importing the data every time the design is modified.
