Leading Australian Research Agency Invests in MSC.Software VPD
Solutions to Accelerate Scientific Discovery
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) Chooses
Flexible Simulation Software Environment
MELBOURNE, Australia, Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MSC.Software Corp.
(NYSE:MNS), the leading global provider of virtual product development (VPD)
products including simulation software and services, today announced that
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) has
purchased a MSC.MasterKey License System from MSC.Software. The MSC.MasterKey
Licensing System will be implemented at the CSIRO High Performance Scientific
Computing Centre, located in Melbourne, Australia, to provide a central
hardware and software service for the use of CSIRO scientists and engineers
across all divisions throughout Australia. The MSC.MasterKey Licensing System
gives researchers at CSIRO the ability to take advantage of the breadth and
depth of MSC.Software's portfolio of simulation tools within a flexible
licensing system, allowing researchers to use MSC.Software simulation tools
wherever and whenever they are needed.
"MSC.Software enjoys a very close relationship with the world's leading
research institutions and the MSC.MasterKey System is the perfect tool for
their needs," says Frank Perna, chairman and chief executive officer of
MSC.Software. "By providing scientists and researchers with easy access to a
broad spectrum of simulation tools, they can spend more time innovating and
less time dealing with the logistics of setting up experiments or dealing with
bureaucracy. We have a strong team in Australia and I am confident that the
engineers at CSIRO will look forward to working with them and enjoying the
industry's best simulation software portfolio."
"The extremely wide science and engineering research scope undertaken by CSIRO
is a perfect example of the reasons why flexible software licensing is critical
for research programs involving personnel located across nationally distributed
sites," said Dr. Rhys Francis, Director, CSIRO High Performance Scientific
Computing. "The diversity of research programs plus the large number of
projects and teams was the perfect environment for MSC.MasterKey. Instant
access to diverse software via a streamlined licensing arrangement from one
provider, will provide increased productivity and cost reductions through
elimination of license redundancies. Locating the license service with the
High Performance Scientific Computing Centre allows solvers to run on the
fastest available machines in CSIRO and gives access to large memory sizes,
allowing researchers to tackle problems beyond the capabilities of desktop
systems."
