MSC.Software Continues to Enhance MSC.Nastran Capabilities With
Release of MSC.Robust Design 2004 r2 Powerful Stochastics Software
Improved With Functionality for Nonlinear Simulation; Enhanced
Services Launched Including Outsourced Cluster Computing SANTA ANA,
Calif., June 2 /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.Robust Design
2004 r2. MSC.Robust Design drives probabilistic analysis with
MSC.Nastran simulations by allowing the efficient investigation of
multiple variables and design parameters. The results of
MSC.Nastran and MSC.Robust Design simulations provide customers
with deeper insight and better understanding of design sensitivity,
allowing them to better manage risk and improve product quality,
safety and performance. "MSC.Robust Design specifically supports
stochastic simulation with MSC.Nastran and provides a very
efficient environment to study real life uncertainties and product
performance," said Frank Perna, chairman and chief executive
officer of MSC.Software. "Used in combination, MSC.Nastran and
MSC.Robust Design help customers increase their productivity and
improve their product development processes and results. We are
convinced that our customers will see immediate benefit from
providing access to the industry's most widely-used simulation tool
from the industry's most powerful stochastics environment and, with
a range of complementary services, enable rapid return on their
investment in this exciting technology." The second release of
MSC.Robust Design is highlighted by the enhanced non-linear
capabilities in MSC.Nastran 2004 (Sol600), which is based on the
powerful technology of MSC.Marc. The simulation of 3D contact and
nonlinear problems is increasingly important for manufacturers
testing deformable bodies and complex assemblies. In addition, a
new bi-directional interface to Microsoft Excel provides users with
the capability to leverage MSC.Robust Design's unique post
processing capabilities on data generated from other sources.
Furthermore, results from MSC.Robust Design can be exported to
Excel for further annotation and inclusion in reports. To
complement the new functionality within MSC.Robust Design,
MSC.Software has launched a number of new services offerings for
stochastics simulation including: * Training: Two-day standard
course on MSC.Robust Design and stochastic mechanics is available
at one of MSC's offices or at customer sites. * Engineering
Consulting Services: A customer provides MSC.Software with a model
and certain design objectives, and MSC delivers a complete
stochastic solution to the problem. The two specific services are:
* Stochastic Simulation: Computation of the most likely product
performance, performance scatter (quality), outliers and
pathologies determination (if any), for multiple disciplines
(statics, vibration, buckling, etc.) * Stochastic Design
Improvement: Design-to-target, with particular focus on mass
reduction, while satisfying multiple objectives (statics,
vibration, buckling, etc.) * Advanced Engineering Services: Special
projects beyond the scope of the standard version of MSC.Robust
Design and which involve coupling of different applications
(proprietary codes, MSC.Software's Laminate Modeler, commercial
crash codes, etc.). MSC.Software's 64 CPU Linux cluster is
dedicated for this purpose. MSC.Robust Design runs on Windows
operating systems including Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows
XP. It can also be used to run MSC.Nastran simulations in a
networked environment (Linux, UNIX, etc.). It is currently shipping
to customers in all world regions and is available under the
MSC.Software MasterKey Licensing System. For more information about
