Enterprise Simulation & Collaboration Made More Efficient

By DE Editors

MSC.Software (Santa Ana, CA) has announced the upcoming R3 releases of SimXpert and SimDesigner, the core components of the company’s SimEnterprise platform. SimEnterprise enables analysts, designers, and suppliers to simulate collaboratively across the extended engineering enterprise by enabling simulation methods and procedures to be captured, automated, and reused across design teams. SimXpert is a fully integrated multidiscipline simulation environment hat provides users native CAD access with bi-directional interoperability, pre-processing, solving, post processing, report generation, and automation capabilities. SimDesigner provides analysis plug-in solutions for the CAD environment that give designers the tools drive analysis early in the CAD process.

SimXpert R3 enhances the ability for analysts to capture and automate simulation methods and procedures via templates within an integrated simulation workspace environment. Once analysts capture their methods, simulation best practices templates can then be disseminated across the extended enterprise, creating a repeatable simulation processes and freeing analysts to focus on high-value product validation requirements. Additionally, the templates create enterprise-specific standard simulation methods for suppliers and other participants in the design and analysis processes. The result, says MSC Software, is more accurate analysis across the enterprise and the design and analysis chain as well as better use of resources and more confidence in simulation results.

SimDesigner R3 has been enhanced with improved integration with SimXpert and expanded CAD platform support. With SimDesigner, designers and suppliers working in the CAD environment gain direct access to simulation templates from which they can perform first-pass analysis with higher degrees of confidence. Use of the best practices templates helps designers and suppliers better comprehend and use analysis results to drive design decisions as well as innovate more by exploring more what-if scenarios, expediting time to market by identifying design flaws earlier in the design process.

“SimXpert and SimDesigner are integral components of MSC.Software’s SimEnterprise,” said Bill Weyand, chief executive officer, MSC.Software. “Through these solutions, engineers become more efficient with simulation best practice capture and reuse, thereby saving both time and money. MSC.Software is committed to enhancing our core technology to meet customer needs and evolving the solution set to help customers increase business value and innovation by taking the path forward to enterprise simulation with SimEnterprise.”
