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. --
