Dramatic Usability Improvements and Out-of-the-Box Configuration Paradigm Accelerates Deployment of Simulation Data and Process Management across Engineering Groups
SANTA ANA, CA--(Marketwire - June 2, 2010) - MSC.Software, the leader in multidiscipline simulation solutions that accelerate product innovation, today announced the release of SimManager 2010, the world's only production-proven Simulation Data and Process Management (SDPM) solution.
SimManager, the most widely used SDPM solution in production today, gives product development executives the confidence to replace slow and expensive physical prototypes and tests with virtual equivalents that can be modified easily and tested quickly to provide greater insight into product performance. Leveraging SimManager's proven and scalable capabilities to manage simulation content and automate standard processes, manufacturers worldwide are increasing productivity and simulating more design possibilities, leading to product innovation and lasting competitive advantage.
SimManager 2010 delivers major improvements in usability and speed of deployment with enhanced out-of-the-box capabilities, empowering companies to simulate more productively by enabling more consistent, reliable and traceable simulation for teams from the individual department to the global extended enterprise. Important new capabilities include:
- New modern Web-centric user interface and graphical search workspace that accelerate simulation process configuration and user productivity in global engineering teams
- Enhanced process automation to dramatically reduce repetitive, manually intensive work
- New configuration paradigm to accelerate deployment and fast production readiness
- Automatic data enrichment capabilities for effective simulation content screening
- Simulation work request and study functions for flexible and interactive collaboration
SimManager 2010, completely redesigned to reflect ten years of MSC's customer deployment experience, streamlines global distribution of standard methods, processes, models and related files. SimManager structures simulation data to capture the complete audit trail for every simulation process. Simulation results, along with all the contextual information that describes who, why and how they were created, are made available across the enterprise for faster, fact-based, critical engineering decisions.
"MSC has been recognized as the vendor with the largest number of sites using Simulation and Process Data Management in production. Large Aerospace and automotive companies rely on MSC.Software for supporting a tremendous increase in the volume of simulations performed with tangible and measurable benefits," said Albrecht Pfaff, Vice President SimManager Business Unit, MSC.Software. "Our new SimManager 2010 release will enable customers to deploy a production ready SDPM solution faster and with a shorter ROI."
