SimManager R3 Delivers Breakthrough Productivity with Workgroup to Enterprise Scalability
MSC.Software announced the release of SimManager R3. R3 delivers major improvements to performance and scalability of the system, empowering companies to simulate more productively by enabling more consistent and reliable simulation for teams from departmental to extended enterprise.
SimManager gives product development executives the confidence to replace slow and expensive physical prototypes and tests with virtual equivalents that can be modified easily and tested quickly in order to provide greater insight into product performance. Leveraging SimManager's proven and scalable capabilities to manage simulation content and automate standard processes, manufacturers worldwide are simulating more design possibilities, leading to product innovation and lasting competitive advantage.
SimManager R3 improves upon the only proven and scalable solution for enterprise simulation management by introducing important new capabilities:
• Introduction of SimManager Workgroup Edition to provide out of the box simulation content management, in a fraction of the time and cost of using legacy PDM solutions.
• New and improved user interface and and graphical process builder that accelerate simulation process configuration and user productivity.
• Enhanced methods and process automation to dramatically reduce repetitive, manually intensive work
• Direct integration to MSC applications including Patran, ADAMS, EASY5, SimXpert, and SimDesigner and open support of 3rd party applications
• Improved utilization of web-services, supporting enhanced enterprise integration and compatibility with IBM's Websphere Process Server
• Improved performance scalability, proven to support global enterprises and their supply chains in automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, electronics, consumer products, and other industries
"SimManager is the only enterprise simulation management solution today that has repeatedly delivered proven results in various industries such as Aerospace, Automotive, Shipbuilding, Heavy Equipment & Machinery Industry, Consumer Packaged Goods and Electronics in more than twenty real-world, full-production enterprise scale settings," said Bill Weyand, Chief Executive Officer, MSC.Software. "SimManager R3 raises the bar for simulation productivity and will enable the world's most successful companies to simulate more and build lasting competitive advantage in their industries."
SimManager leverages the full power of MSC.Software's comprehensive simulation technology-MSC SimEnterprise Solutions-to provide the collaborative insight manufacturers require for enhanced productivity and long-term success. The result is faster, more innovative design methodologies that decrease development costs and establish unprecedented competitive advantage.
MSC SimEnterprise Solutions bring together simulation analysis and workspace tools, content and process management, and best practices automation in a seamlessly integrated environment. From industry-standard solvers to automation of simulation content and process management, SimEnterprise Solutions let you build on your simulation success as your requirements grow. MSC solutions can be combined for a complete, end-to-end enterprise simulation environment, or deployed separately depending upon your business requirements.
