Simulation tools simplify virtual prototyping
A novel suite of embedded simulation tools allows Catia V5 users to streamline and automate the task of building and testing virtual prototypes.
Upgrade for simulation and FEA software
MSC.Nastran 2005 r2 is billed as the world's leading simulation and finite element analysis product used by manufacturers around the world.
By standardising on the fully integrated and extendable SimEnterprise platform, Whirlpool Corp's integrated virtual product development tools can use detailed digital product models to simulate and verify every aspect of the product from functional performance through to shipping and installation.
This empowers Whirlpool to make and track critical design and packaging decisions and communicate and co-ordinate product development with all points of the enterprise, driving product innovation and quality to new and competitively sustainable levels.
"Whirlpool is extremely pleased with the environment and integration that SimEnterprise has shown", said Thomas Gielda, Director of Global Mechanical Structures and Systems for Whirlpool.
"Our company goal is to dramatically improve the performance of our packaging and platform for our customers".
"MSC's SimEnterprise environment will allow us to simulate multidiscipline engineering problems, develop and automate best practices, and manage engineering data and processes throughout our entire global engineering enterprise".
"There is a tremendous industry need to address true multidiscipline problems with reliable performance predictions that reduce the need for physical prototypes and provide more accurate and complete results", said Glenn Wienkoop, President and Chief Operating Officer, MSC.Software Corp.
"Simulation information can be used as a tool to help companies ensure that their products are first to market and right to market".
"Whirlpool Corporation's decision to standardise on SimEnterprise is a huge endorsement of MSC's efforts to raise engineering to the enterprise level", said William J Weyand, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, MSC.Software Corp.
"SimEnterprise allows customers to transition from single point simulation tools to an integrated enterprise solution".
"This allows businesses to focus on the quality and content of simulation analysis and results versus managing disparate simulation systems and data".
