Alain de Rouvray, ESI Group’s Chairman and CEO, says: “This operation will enable two leaders and two complementary types of model representation in virtual engineering to come together: ESI, which has unique expertise in multi-domain solutions for virtual physical prototypes of components and assemblies of industrial products in a detailed 3D-4D space, and ITI GmbH, a specialist in the fast and accurate system simulation in the 0D-1D space. These different representations necessarily interface to each other and are intimately complementary when designing an integrated, dynamic and complex product such as an automobile in motion. This acquisition allows ESI to expand upstream its positioning in the industrial product manufacturing value chain. The advantage becomes critical and disruptive when innovation changes the system component interaction, which is increasingly common. ESI Group’s collaborative virtual engineering platform will provide direct access to a product’s functional features and enable more efficient and faster decisions to

Innovyze announced the worldwide availability of InfoWater 2D, a breakthrough geospatial water distribution network management solution for accurate two-dimensional (2D) above-ground modeling of water spill from main breaks and large leaks, directly within the powerful ArcGIS (Esri, Redlands, CA) environment. Globally, water demand is rising, aging water infrastructures are rapidly deteriorating, and the impact of water main breaks and leakage is relentless. In the U.S. alone, drinking water systems maintain more than two million miles of distribution mains with about 237,600 water main breaks occurring every year. An estimated seven billion gallons of clean drinking water are wasted every day — a staggering 2.6 trillion gallons annually. Catastrophic water main breaks can result in anywhere from millions to billions of dollars in damages including disastrous litigations. InfoWater 2D demonstrates Innovyze’s ongoing commitment to delivering pioneering technology that raises the bar for water distribution network modeling and simulation, helping to shape the future of this
