ESI Group has packaged its multidisciplinary solver technology in the Visual Environment platform for Windows 64bit operating systems.
ESI Group has packaged its multidisciplinary solver technology in the Visual Environment platform for Windows 64bit 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 64bit, engineers can work interactively with huge models, of over 4.5 million finite elements, which require more than 3 to 4Gbyte 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 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.
"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, 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, Intel's Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
