| ESI Group (ISIN FR0004110310) an innovative company committed to delivering state-of-the-art predictive vibro-acoustic solutions announced today the official launch of PAM-VA One at InterNoise 2005, the International Congress and Exposition on Noise Control Engineering. PAM-VA One is the world's first fully integrated environment for simulating the response of vibro-acoustic systems across the entire frequency spectrum. This major product launch represents the latest ESI Group's innovative solution for vibro-acoustic simulation, analysis and design. |
ESI Group (ISIN FR0004110310) an innovative company committed to delivering state-of-the-art predictive vibro-acoustic solutions announced today the official launch of PAM-VA One at InterNoise 2005, the International Congress and Exposition on Noise Control Engineering. PAM-VA One is the world's first fully integrated environment for simulating the response of vibro-acoustic systems across the entire frequency spectrum. This major product launch represents the latest ESI Group's innovative solution for vibro-acoustic simulation, analysis and design. PAM-VA One incorporates Finite Element Analysis and Statistical Energy Analysis within One easy to use modelling environment. In addition, the software implements a state-of-the-art method for creating and solving fully coupled FEA/SEA models. This major theoretical breakthrough significantly extends the types of vibro-acoustic problems that can now be addressed with simulation. Since 2004, leading OEM's in the automotive, aerospace, and rail industries have participated in ESI Group's "Structure Borne Noise Consortium" and contributed to the development and validation of PAM-VA One. PAM-VA One offers a comprehensive range of internal solvers to meet analysis needs; in addition, the software includes interfaces to external solvers to ensure compatibility with existing vibro-acoustic analysis and design processes. The flexibility of PAM-VA One lets the user choose the optimal simulation strategy based on cost, time and computational resources. The software also includes powerful model management tools for quick and easy creation of models from existing CAD and FEA data. PAM-VA One also has an extensive library of add-on modules to ensure that the software can be easily integrated into existing CAE and design processes. "This software is the result of a long-term research and development effort by ESI Group and we're proud to announce its release. We've worked closely with our key customers and research partners to ensure that the software is validated and meets the needs of our worldwide user-base" says Dr. Phil Shorter, Lead Acoustic Scientist, ESI Group. "The theory underpinning the FE/SEA coupling part of PAM-VA One is the most important breakthrough in vibro-acoustics in the past 20 years." says Prof Ken Heron FREng, QinetiQ Senior Fellow. "This is a vital step towards predicting structure-borne noise at mid and high frequencies." PAM-VA One, the One simulation environment for full frequency vibro-acoustic analysis will be available for first customer shipment in October 2005.

About: ESI Group
ESI Group is the world leading software editor for the numerical simulation of prototype and manufacturing process engineering in applied mechanics. The key to ESI Group's success is the use of realistic material physics, providing "as good as real" virtual solutions, in order to replace the lengthy trial and error processes on real prototypes.ESI Group has developed an entire suite of coherent industry-oriented applications to realistically simulate a product's behavior during testing, to fine tune the manufacturing processes in synergy with the desired product performance, and to evaluate the environment's impact on product usage. ESI Group's product portfolio, which has been industrially validated and combined in multi-trade value chains, represents a unique collaborative, virtual engineering solution, known as the Virtual Try-Out Space (VTOS), enabling a continuous improvement on the virtual prototype. By drastically reducing costs and development lead times, VTOS solutions offer major competitive advantages by progressively eliminating the need for physical prototypes. A sustained growth Total consolidated revenue for fiscal year 2003, ending January 31st 2004, increased by 15% in real terms and 22% at constant exchange rates, compared to the previous year reaching 49 million euro. The software activity remained stable with 73% from licenses and 27% from services. The major acquisitions made in 2002 and 2003 accounted for 15% of revenue growth and took part in the strengthening of the Group's position on the American market. As in previous years, ESI Group maintained a strong international presence with 50% of turnover generated outside Europe and 79% of revenue outside. Listed on the Nouveau Marché of Euronext Paris, ESI Group employs almost 500 high-level specialists worldwide.
ESI Group and its global network of agents provide sales and technical support to customers in more than 30 countries. A key investment area: Research and Development ESI Group is making substantial R&D efforts and forms partnerships with leading academic and research laboratories in order to offer state-of-the-art solutions. ESI Group also provides high value-added services, worldwide through its subsidiaries located in Europe, Asia and Americas. Consulting projects with strategic industrial partners as well as European R&D contracts exemplify ESI Group's strong engineering knowledge and scientific expertise. |
