Press Release Summary:
Available on Windows 64-bit OS, Visual Environment platform offers engineering simulation solution based on openness and extended interoperability with tier CAE solutions. Engineers can work interactively with models of over 4.5 million finite elements, which require 3-4 Gb of memory. Within platform, different simulation domains can be addressed and chained manually or automatically, while Visual Composer keeps track and offers interoperability between CAD geometry and compute models.
Original Press Release:
ESI Group's Visual Environment Platform a Major Breakthrough for Multi-Disciplinary Simulation
ESI Group, a pioneer and world-leading provider of digital simulation software, based on the physics of materials, federates its multi-disciplinary solvers technology in the Visual Environment platform, available on Windows 64-bit operating systems. This suite of software offers a proven engineering simulation environment solution based on openness and extended interoperability with tier CAE solutions.
This integrated solution portfolio bridges low- to high-end requirements, knowledge processes and data, and engineering workflows that can be managed in a structured way. Thanks to the Intel Xeon® Processor 5100 Series and the availability of Windows 64-bit, engineers can work interactively with huge models, of over 4.5 million finite elements, which require more than 3 to 4 GB of memory.
Visual Environment is based on an embedded data model that offers an extended environment where new applications and interfaces with tier solutions are easily implemented. It supports ESI Group solvers such as PAM-CRASH and PAM-MEDYSA, as well as other developers' simulation software like MD Nastran, RADIOSS, LS-DYNA, or MADYMO. It also provides a development toolkit for the users to develop their own applications, or integrate their existing ones to take complete benefits of a simulation platform.
Within the all-in-one framework, it allows users to address multiple applications in different physics related fields. The great flexibility of Visual Environment combined with the wide range of applications fully answer customers needs. Within this platform, the different simulation domains can be addressed and chained manually or automatically, while Visual Composer keeps track and offers inter-operability between CAD geometry and compute models. In addition, Visual-Process, as part of Visual Environment, provides important productivity gains as it helps engineers to capture, automate and customize CAE processes and engineering best practices in process templates.
"Visual Environment is the integration of ESI Group's expertise. It results in a unique hub which provides to ESI Group and its customers an Enterprise Engineering Software Solution," says Vincent Chaillou, President and Chief Operating Officer, Product Operations, ESI Group.
"We are pleased that Visual Environment, the latest ESI product, optimized for our new Intel Xeon® Processors 5100 Series, helps ESI's customers to reach new levels of performance on their simulation environment. The Intel Xeon® Processors 5100 Series with its Intel® 64 instruction set and Dual Core technology provides the necessary bandwidth and performance for handling large simulation models while keeping the thermal envelope to reasonable levels," says Gordon Graylish, Intel's Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
About ESI Group:
ESI Group is a world-leading supplier, and a pioneer of digital simulation software for prototyping and manufacturing processes that take into account the physics of materials. ESI Group has developed an extensive suite of coherent, industry oriented applications to realistically simulate a product's behavior during testing, to fine-tune manufacturing processes in accordance with desired product performance, and evaluate the environment's impact on product performance. ESI Group's products, which have a proven track record in manufacturing and have been combined in multi-trade value chains, represent a unique collaborative and open virtual engineering solution known as the Virtual Try-Out Space (VTOS), enabling virtual prototypes to be improved in a continuous and collaborative manner. This integrated protocol allows all the company's solutions to work with each other and with applications developed by independent software vendors. By significantly reducing costs and development lead times and enabling product/process synergies, VTOS solutions offer major competitive advantage by progressively eliminating the need for physical prototypes during product development. The company generated sales of $80 million in 2005, employs over 500 high-level specialists worldwide covering more than 30 countries. ESI Group is listed in Eurolist compartment C of Euronext Paris. Virtual Try-Out Space® and VTOS® are registered trademarks of ESI Group. All other products, names or companies are the brands or registered trademarks of their respective owners.
