MSC.visualNastran V5i Products are Based On V5 Component Application Architecture (CAA) From Dassault Systemes
SANTA ANA, Calif.--June 21, 2002-- MSC.Software Corp. (NYSE: MNS - News), the leading global provider of simulation software, services and systems, today announced the launch of the MSC.visualNastran V5i family of products based upon the Dassault Systemes V5 Component Application Architecture (CAA). These products will complement CATIA V5 Analysis solutions by providing generative high-end analysis to design teams and
gateways to customers' analysis processes. The first two CAA V5 based products, MSC.Nastran Gateway and MSC.Nastran Generative have been developed as part of a strategic alliance with Dassault Systemes (Nasdaq: DASTY; Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) and are now available from MSC.Software's direct sales force.
The new products are completely integrated with the CATIA Generative Structural Analysis environment and provide immediate and direct access between CATIA V5 and MSC.Software's flagship product MSC.Nastran. MSC.Nastran Gateway exports "run ready" MSC.Nastran files and provides direct access to MSC.Nastran results while MSC.Nastran Generative enables users to leverage basic MSC.Nastran solver capabilities without leaving their familiar CATIA environment. Further CAA V5 based products
expected later in the year will deliver robust thermal and nonlinear analysis technology as well as access to a range of other widely used simulation software.
"We are excited to announce the first of the many products that come from our alliance with Dassault Systemes and that build upon the strength of the V5 platform," said Frank Perna, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MSC.Software. "MSC.Software is leveraging our core strengths to rapidly deliver a complete simulation portfolio to the fast growing CATIA V5 user community. I am delighted by this visible
