TECOSIM Establishes RADIOSS Competence Center in Cologne, Germany

 

Altair Engineering, Inc. announced that TECOSIM Technische Simulation GmbH, an engineering company with specialist expertise in computer-aided engineering (CAE), has established a new RADIOSS Competence Center at its Cologne branch office.

Since the company's founding in 1992, TECOSIM has trusted RADIOSS, the Altair HyperWorks suite solver solution, for explicit and implicit analysis. TECOSIM's engineers around the world appreciate the easy-to-handle RADIOSS solver technology. By setting up a Competence Center, the company now has bundled its many years of RADIOSS expertise under a single roof to provide engineering services to all of its key automotive tier one and OEM customers.

"RADIOSS is a robust, effective and predictive solver, providing highly paralleled and linearly scalable solutions," said Dr. Torben Birker, director, TECOSIM Technische Simulation GmbH. "The RADIOSS Competence Center not only allows for continuing enhancement of various full vehicle and component crash and safety simulations, but it also pushes advanced modeling techniques, e.g. composite simulation and laminated glass, in deep cooperation with OEMs. RADIOSS is a world-class solver technology for today's most complex CAE-problems."

TECOSIM's experience, combined with the productiveness of RADIOSS, enables it to implement future-driven technologies, such as multidiscipline optimization, leading to weight- optimized components, lighter vehicles and hence material and CO2 reduction in the production and use of a new product. TECOSIM's automotive customers will benefit from this newly established Competence Center.

"I am very happy about TECOSIM's decision to set up a RADIOSS Competence Center," said Dr. Detlef Schneider, managing director, Altair, Germany. "It shows the faith they have in RADIOSS and our products and sets new standards in engineering services. TECOSIM engineers have the know-how and use the state-of-the-art products needed to offer high-class services to their automotive customers."
