MSC.Software Increases Crash and Occupant Safety Simulation Capabilities With
MSC.Dytran 2004
New Integration With LS-DYNA and Occupant Safety Simulation Tools Help
Manufacturers Comply With Federal Regulations, Increase Occupant Safety And
Reduce Costly Physical Tests
SANTA ANA, Calif., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MSC.Software Corp. , the
leading global provider of virtual product development (VPD) products including
simulation software and services, today announced the release of MSC.Dytran
2004, featuring the first integrated release of MSC.Dytran and LS-DYNA and new
tools for helping manufacturers comply with federal safety regulations.
"MSC.Software has a very clear product development roadmap that is based upon
the integration of our core software products to the benefit of our customers.
The combination of MSC.Dytran and LS-DYNA is another milestone in the
integration process," said Frank Perna, chairman and chief executive officer of
MSC.Software. "We are committed to the continued integration of LS-DYNA with
the MSC.Software product portfolio, including MSC.Nastran, and are confident
that customers will be extremely pleased with the new functionality of the
combined products."
"The successful integration of the LS-DYNA solver within MSC.Dytran will provide
crash and occupant safety customers with a powerful tool capable of handling
complex models that require the advanced fluids capabilities of MSC.Dytran,"
said John O. Hallquist, President, LSTC.
Automotive OEMs and suppliers must comply with an increasing number of
safety-related regulatory requirements including standards for crashworthiness
(FMVSS 201-224), crash avoidance (FMVSS 101-135), out-of-position occupants
(FMVSS 208) and new regulations for fire protection and rear-collisions (FMVSS
301). MSC.Dytran 2004 provides the tools and processes to help manufacturers
virtually test crash and safety-related systems and ensure all regulatory
requirements are met before physical prototypes are built and tested.
MSC.Dytran 2004 includes many new features and enhancements enabling engineers
to simulate complex high-speed interactions, provide critical feedback to
product development teams and meet strict regulatory requirements. Some of these
new features of MSC.Dytran 2004 include:
-- The combination of MSC.Dytran and LS-DYNA: MSC.Dytran 2004 is the
first version of MSC.Dytran to combine LS-DYNA's structural
capabilities within the MSC.Dytran architecture. This new
functionality is designed specifically for simulation of large models
within high performance computing (HPC) environments, where engineers
rely heavily upon distributed memory parallel (DMP) to decrease the
solution time for complex analyses of large models.
-- Airbag and Occupant Safety Enhancements: In addition to enhancements
to the out-of-position (OOP) technologies introduced in MSC.Dytran
2002, MSC.Dytran 2004 includes a new virtual crash dummy model of a
Hybrid III 5% female occupant.
-- A new web-based forum has been launched to serve MSC.Dytran customers
and other safety engineers to share the latest developments and
technologies in the areas of airbags and occupant safety. The
objective of the forum is to provide an opportunity to our customers
and prospects to have an active participation along with MSC.Software
developers to define and create the next generation occupant safety
models. This forum is intended to be a platform to share information,
provide feedback, create discussion groups and check out the latest
developments. Please visit the VPD Community MSC.Dytran Forum at
http://forums.mscsoftware.com/ . Once there, you can register to
discuss and receive news related to MSC.Dytran, as well as all of the
products from MSC.Software.
-- Availability on MSC.MasterKey: MSC.Dytran 2004 is available under the
MSC.MasterKey licensing system. The MSC.MasterKey system is tailored
to the unique environment of every customer, maximizing productivity
and engineering budgets by providing full-range simulation
capabilities and flexible product management from a token-based
system.
In order to help customers better understand the significant enhancements in
MSC.Dytran 2004 as well as to learn about the new MSC.Dytran/LS-DYNA module,
MSC.Software is hosting a public webinar, highlighting "What's New in MSC.Dytran
