ESI Group, (ESIN FR0004110310) announces PAM-TUBE 2G, a new product suite in the stamping simulation solution line, tailored made for tube bending and hydro forming processes. PAM-TUBE 2G supports all the stages from design to product manufacturing. PAM-TUBE 2G is an intuitive software package, where the user is guided through the different steps of the process. In response to market demand PAM-TUBE 2G offers accurate tube bending simulation with realistic tool modeling and behavior for better forming simulation results, and offers coupling capabilities for more accurate product performance assessment. “ESI Group is engaging into a new phase of long-term partnership related to advanced tube manufacturing technology, explains Martin Skrikerud, Product Manager. PAM-TUBE 2G development has benefited from academic and industrial know-how. Thanks to a partnership with University of Siegen, Germany, and a close collaboration with DaimlerChrysler, Audi, Schuler Hydro forming, bu+Engineering GmbH, hde Solutions, Eberspächer, ThyssenKrupp Budd, we’ve brought a high level of confidence to use tube bending and hydro forming simulation in a robust product solution for industrial manufacturing. PAM-TUBE 2G as a specialized engineering solution, accelerates development cycles in reducing tube bending design and hydro forming costs. It offers a unique environment combining specialized design tools for tube and hydro forming processes allowing concentrating on fast strain and ovalization predictions, automatic addendum design and welding consideration for mass production instead of software issues. This solution offers extensive functionality which includes; distributed parallel processing for bending, an annealing option, and multistage macro templates.

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. |
