DS Releases SIMULIA SLM

By DE Editors

Dassault Systemes (DS; Paris, France) announced SIMULIA SLM, a new product suite from SIMULIA (Providence, RI) that will have a positive impact on the way organizations perform and manage their simulation processes.

SIMULIA SLM Simulation Lifecycle Management accelerates the product development lifecycle by providing timely access to the right information through secure storage, search, and retrieval functionality that is specific to simulation processes, data, and applications. SIMULIA SLM maximizes the value of company-generated intellectual property (IP) through the capture, re-use, and deployment of simulation best practices. It also provides tools for control and sharing of simulation data for collaborative product development.

Shorter product lifecycles, higher costs, stricter regulations, and the desire to benefit from a greater number of simulations make it clear that companies need an economical and effective solution to manage, share, and secure their simulation assets. To ensure affordable and efficient deployment, SIMULIA SLM provides significant capabilities directly "out of the box" so that users can gain tangible benefits immediately.

SIMULIA SLM also works with simulation authoring applications developed by SIMULIA, Dassault Systemes, third parties, and customers via a Connectors Framework, which enables simulation solutions to be deployed and executed from within the SIMULIA SLM environment. Connectors are available for Abaqus Unified FEA, CATIA, and third-party applications such as Nastran, HyperMesh, AcuSolve, and STAR-CD. Customers can also configure Connectors to meet specific applications.

This early release of SIMULIA SLM is being deployed at select customer sites during the early part of 2008 and will be followed by a generally available release in mid-2008. A SLM White Paper and Webinar are available from SIMULIA.
