ESI Group's software improves the effectiveness of business productivity and innovation for engineering enterprise software solutions.
ESI Group, a provider of digital simulation software based on the physics of materials, has federated its multi-disciplinary solvers technology in the Visual Environment platform.
This suite of software offers a proven engineering simulation solution based on openness, together with extended interoperability with tier CAE solutions.
Vincent Chaillou, President and Chief Operating Officer of Product Operations at ESI Group, says, "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".
Visual Environment improves the effectiveness of business productivity and innovation for engineering enterprise software solutions.
The software manages with consistency the transport of compute models, which empowers simulation-based design, accelerates product development and innovation, and reduces costs and time to market.
The Visual Environment integrated solution portfolio bridges low to high-end requirements, knowledge processes and data, and engineering workflows, all of which can be managed in a structured way.
Visual Environment is based on an embedded data model which offers an extended environment where new applications and interfaces with tier solutions are easily implemented.
It supports ESI Group solvers like PAM-CRASH and PAM-MEDYSA, as well as NASTRAN, RADIOSS, LS-DYNA or MADYMO.
It also provides a development toolkit enabling users to develop their own applications, or else integrate their existing ones in order to get the complete benefits of a simulation platform.
Using the Intel Xeon Processor 5100 Series and Windows 64-bit, engineers can work interactively with huge models of over 4.5 million finite elements, which require more than 3 to 4 Gigabytes of memory.
"We are pleased that Visual Environment, the latest ESI product, optimised 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, Vice President of Sales and Marketing EMEA at Intel.
Within the all in one framework, Visual Environment allows users to address multiple applications in different physics-related fields.
Within this platform, the 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.
In addition, Visual-Process, as part of Visual Environment, provides important productivity gains as it helps engineers to capture, automate and customise CAE processes and engineering best practices in process templates.
