ESI GROUP ANNOUNCES VISUAL-CRASH FOR PAM
11 October 2004 - ESI Group
| ESI Group today announced Visual-Crash for PAM, the first brick of ESI Group's new open integrated environment available now for PAM-CRASH solution. ESI Group leverages the acquisition of EASI by integrating the company's renowned technology into its virtual engineering solution, known as the Virtual Try-Out Space. This strategy paves the way to a unique open environment where competitive simulation software can be coupled with ESI Group's state-of-the-art solvers. First delivered for PAM-CRASH users, this open environment allows them to address any crash and safety related simulations as it effectively replaces the most competitive environment solutions. |
ESI Group today announced Visual-Crash for PAM, the first brick of ESI Group's new open integrated environment available now for PAM-CRASH solution. ESI Group leverages the acquisition of EASI by integrating the company's renowned technology into its virtual engineering solution, known as the Virtual Try-Out Space. This strategy paves the way to a unique open environment where competitive simulation software can be coupled with ESI Group's state-of-the-art solvers. First delivered for PAM-CRASH users, this open environment allows them to address any crash and safety related simulations as it effectively replaces the most competitive environment solutions. VCP combines PAM-CRASH former environment solution with EASi's technology. The embedded data model offers a very versatile environment where new applications and interfaces with tier solutions are easily implemented. "Visual-Crash for PAM allows PAM users to focus and rely on high quality digital models, from start to finish. As reliable simulation methodologies are emerging for multi-disciplinary simulation, robust simulation-based design processes are now available, embedding proprietary 'know-how' and 'best practice' "said Vincent Chaillou, President and COO, Products Operations, ESI Group. From data input to visualization, VCP seamless environment provides PAM-CRASH users with fast iteration and rapid model revision process. The environment offers a quick model browsing, advanced meshing capabilities and rapid graphical assembly of system models. VCP allows graphical creation, modification and deletion of contacts, materials, constraint control cards and all crash entities. Process-oriented methodology brings a compelling advantage to PAM-CRASH users as tier solutions can be easily coupled thanks to process builder modules. Using VCP's multi-window, multi-models, multi-application environment with visual verification, PAM-CRASH users easily address the coupling of finite element and rigid-body models, a requisite in safety simulation. Leveraging this state-of-the-art environment, a visualization and plotting solution helps analyze PAM-CRASH result data within a uniform interface. The viewer performs automated task and generates customized reports therefore increasing engineer productivity. Visual-Crash for PAM Environment is available on PC platforms (Windows 2000, XP Professional), UNIX workstations (HP-UX, SunOS, SGI, IBM) and Linux-hardware vendors supported platforms.

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. |
