MSC.Software Expands Simulation Process and Data Management
Capabilities With Release of MSC.SimManager 2004 r2
New Report Generator and Trade Study Capabilities; Support for IBM WebSphere
Application Server, DB2 Universal Database, AIX 5L and Linux Operating Systems
Highlight New Release
SANTA ANA, Calif., June 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MSC.Software Corp.
(NYSE:MNS), the leading global provider of virtual product development (VPD)
products including simulation software and services, today announced the
availability of MSC.SimManager 2004 r2. MSC.SimManager, formerly called
MSC.SDM, automates the execution of simulation processes, captures all
intermediate and resulting data, and increases the effective use of simulation
by delivering crucial product performance knowledge earlier in the design
cycle. To further support and leverage MSC.Software's strategic alliance with
IBM to deliver solutions to a broad customer community, this latest release
features support for key IBM infrastructure technologies. MSC.SimManager 2004
r2 also provides significant new automation capabilities to further enhance the
productivity of simulation engineers.
"Regardless of the industry, our customers around the world need a better way
to manage the generation, storage and reuse of product performance information
to make quicker and better product development decisions," said Frank Perna,
chairman and chief executive officer of MSC.Software. "We have been working
very hard to get the MSC.SimManager message out to our customers and have found
that our approach is resonating with all of them, large and small.
MSC.SimManager was designed from the ground up as a simulation process
automation and knowledge capture system that works in a complementary way with
a company's existing PLM technologies and infrastructure. It is a huge
competitive differentiator for MSC.Software."
"Process improvement and data management are high priorities for IBM's
manufacturing customers, especially as they relate to PLM strategies and the
integration of product performance information, PDM systems and other
enterprise systems," said Janette Beauchamp, General Manager, IBM Global
Automotive Industry. "The combination of IBM's technology and integration
expertise and the MSC.SimManager technologies enables us to deliver a complete
solution stack for the management of simulation processes and product
performance data."
Manufacturers around the world are increasing their use of virtual prototyping
and reducing their dependence on physical prototyping in order to reduce
development costs and get products to market faster. The increased reliance on
VPD techniques necessitates a system for managing the ever-increasing amount of
performance-related product data, and for managing and automating the processes
that generate and make use of these data.
MSC.SimManager enables engineers to assess and compare the performance of
multiple design configurations rapidly and consistently. MSC.SimManager 2004r2
includes many new features and enhancements enabling engineers to set-up
simulation processes, conduct simulations, quickly evaluate results, iterate
through multiple design "what-if" scenarios, and provide meaningful feedback to
the design team. Particular emphasis has been placed on:
* Support for operation with key IBM technologies -- WebSphere
Application Server, DB2 Universal Database and the AIX 5L operating
system.
* Support for Red Hat Linux on Intel-based servers.
* A new, Web-based report generator, which provides users with the
ability to interactively collate and annotate data into a single
report, to publish results and insights into product behavior.
* New advanced capabilities for execution and interactive configuration
of Trade Studies. This enables engineers to perform rapid
simulation-based "what-if" evaluations of different product
configurations by varying design parameters in an automated and
systematic way.
MSC.SimManager is deployed as a web-based Enterprise Simulation Portal that
improves the return on investment of existing simulation tools and systems, by
increasing productivity and giving companies collaborative, enterprise-wide
access to model and simulation data. This allows engineers to perform
automated simulations, evaluate design changes and generate comparative reports
to determine optimal design configurations. For more information on
