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
