MSC.Software Partners With Brembo to Improve Virtual Product
Development Tools for Brakes
Italian Brake Systems Provider Partners With MSC.Software to Develop New
Software Toolkit for Simulation of Brake Pad Stress and Fatigue
SANTA ANA, Calif., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MSC.Software Corp.
(NYSE:MNS), the leading global provider of virtual product development (VPD)
products including simulation software and services and Brembo, a worldwide
brake systems provider, have signed an agreement to develop a customized
simulation toolkit, based upon MSC.Marc, to simulate stress and fatigue
characteristics of automotive brake pads.
"Application-specific simulation solutions are a very important part of the VPD
market, especially in the automotive industry where each assembly and subsystem
has a unique development process requiring a combination of multiple product
development disciplines," said Frank Perna, chairman and chief executive
officer of MSC.Software. "MSC.Software is constantly looking for ways to
ensure that our products meet the demands of our worldwide customer base and
the best way to do that is to partner with our customers and create consortiums
to guide the development of the software tools. We have successfully done this
for other MSC.Software applications such as ADAMS/Engine, MSC.Flightloads, and
SimDesigner Suspension and we look forward to completing this project with
Brembo and bringing a valuable new brake pad tool to market."
"By delivering reliable and safe brake systems to our demanding customers we
have gained a high reputation and growing success all over the world," said
Giovanni Gotti at Brembo. "The development of brake systems is a difficult
task, because it includes the simultaneous consideration of different design
characteristics such as being lighter, delivering a higher performances, and
assuring a better durability. Virtual Product Development (VPD) has become a
decisive factor to success in managing complex design projects like this. Our
engineers are relying on MSC.Software products such as MSC.Nastran, MSC.Marc,
and MSC.Patran every day, right from the concept phase throughout the entire
design process, in order to satisfy all those different needs. The reliability
of these products combined with the technical expertise provided by
MSC.Software Italy during the last years, convinced us to move forward in our
co-operation and to sign an agreement to jointly develop a software interface.
This tool will be a fully-customized version of MSC.Marc which will allow to
easily build complete brake models -- including pads -- to simulate them under
different working conditions and to predict the pads wear under all kinds of
circumstances."
The software toolkit developed jointly by MSC.Software and Brembo is being
developed by the MSC.Software technical staff at the Brembo Technical Centre in
Curno (Italy). The new technology will immediately be applied to all new
Brembo brake system designs and available to MSC.Software customers worldwide
beginning in 2005.
