MSC.MasterKey Licensing System SANTA ANA, Calif., Nov. 16
/PRNewswire/ -- MSC.Software Corp. (NYSE:MNS), the leading global
provider of virtual product development (VPD) products including
simulation software and services, today announced that Avio, one of
the largest Italian aerospace companies and a world leader in
mechanical transmissions, has invested in MSC.Software's
MSC.MasterKey License System for the design and development of
modules and components for military aircraft, commercial aircraft
and helicopter propulsion systems. Under the MSC.MasterKey License
System, Avio will expand their use of MSC.Software's SimOffice
products by integrating new tools into their product development
process including MSC.Patran, MSC.Nastran, MSC.Patran Thermal,
MSC.Marc DMP, MSC.Robust Design, MSC.Enterprise MVision, MSC.ADAMS,
MSC.GS Mesher and MSC.SimManager. "The growth in the CAE market
will be driven in large part by those companies who are maturing
their product development processes and making investments in
technologies and Avio is an excellent example of that kind of
company," says Frank Perna, chairman and chief executive officer of
MSC.Software. "The MSC.MasterKey licensing system is gaining real
traction in the aerospace market and is an excellent way for
suppliers to easily and cost-effectively incorporate new
technologies into their product development processes. We are
pleased that our long time relationship with Avio has resulted in
this new contract and we look forward to working closely with Avio
engineers in the future." "The MSC.Master.Key System was the answer
to our software expansion problems. We have been using MSC.Software
tools for a long time, but due to company standards never had the
possibility to implement a more flexible solution," says Emilio
Ferrari, responsible for advanced technology implementation at
Avio. "Now, under the MSC.Masterkey System, we are able to easily
access new VPD technologies and can be more competitive through a
wider and more mature usage of VPD solutions. MSC.MasterKey
leverages our development processes, and we expect to realize cost
and time-savings in line with our product competitiveness needs. We
have implemented a baseline for tokens and intend to grow the token
pool in the near future. " About Avio Established in 1908, Avio is
