Elysium Announces Multi-CAD Integration Partnership with MSC.Software

Elysium Inc. announced a partnership agreement with MSC.Software. The partnership will provide current and future customers of both companies the ability to create, manage and access accurate 3D geometry and the attached data intelligence such as features, annotation and attributes across CAD and PDM platforms. MSC.Software will be working to implement Elysium's portfolio of 3D data translation tools in combination with its high-level VPD software and services solutions.

"We are extremely excited to be working with MSC," said Ken Tashiro, president and CEO of Elysium Inc., "MSC is viewed worldwide as the leading virtual product development company and so to have them on board with us is spectacular."

Elysium's technology enables an environment where any CAD data is available to the user in the native format. The company has been developing advanced translation tools for PDM attribute and metadata for the last 2 years, to enable easier controlled access to their 3D geometry data translation technologies.

"MSC.Software is committed to being open architecture and supporting product development needs of our customers, and increasingly those needs revolve around integrating multiple CAD environments, data management systems and virtual product development data to create a unified environment" said Frank Perna, chairman and CEO, MSC.Software. "We're looking forward to working with Elysium and using their technology in concert with MSC.Software's VPD software and services to continually improve customers' product development processes."
