Dassault Releases Abaqus v6.7 for FEA
 PARIS,
France and and Providence, Rhode Island, May 15, 2007 - Dassault Systèmes
(DS) (Nasdaq: DASTY; Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D
and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, announces the release of
Abaqus Version 6.7, its technology-leading finite element analysis (FEA)
software suite.
Abaqus Version 6.7 introduces a new architecture for high-performance
linear dynamics, advanced capabilities for composites simulation and
nonlinear materials modeling, a new intuitive and highly customizable user
interface for accelerated model building and results visualization, and two
new interfaces for bi-directional CAD associativity.
“SIMULIA is delivering several important enhancements to their Abaqus FEA
software that we expect will greatly improve overall productivity at Scania,"
stated Martin Edberg, head of chassis simulations, Scania CV AB. "We are
particularly impressed with the new high-performance linear dynamics
functionality in Abaqus Version 6.7.”
The new linear dynamics architecture in Abaqus is fully integrated with
existing nonlinear capabilities, enabling engineers to share model data and
results seamlessly across workgroups. With this release, SIMULIA is
providing the industry’s only unified simulation environment for general
purpose structural integrity, powertrain durability, noise and vibration
behavior, crashworthiness, occupant safety, and tire-roadway interaction. In
addition, the software’s distributed memory parallel direct solver
technology leverages the latest advances in high-performance computing to
deliver significant performance improvements in clustered environments.
“We have developed a unique collaborative relationship with our customers
that provides us with a clear view on which technical developments are most
valuable to their businesses,” said Bruce Engelmann, CTO for SIMULIA. “The
new materials capabilities in Abaqus Version 6.7 were created in response to
environmentally driven industry issues and are helping electronics
manufacturers adopt lead-free solder and enabling aerospace manufactures to
drive fuel efficiency through application of complex composite materials.”
“The new CAD Associative Interface for Abaqus/CAE allows engineers to be
more productive while iterating from CAD to FEA,” said Jerome Montgomery of
Siemens Power Generation. “Loads and boundary conditions are retained
between design changes, and the updates are handled efficiently through an
intelligent mechanism that is a real time-saver.”
“Abaqus usage and adoption continues to grow rapidly as companies evolve
their methods to be more sophisticated with the goal of improved fidelity to
physical behavior,” stated Steve Crowley, director of product management at
SIMULIA. “Abaqus 6.7 is the most scalable and powerful finite element
analysis solution available on the market today. We expect these
enhancements to dramatically improve our customers’ business processes.”
With more than 100 major improvements, Abaqus Version 6.7 from SIMULIA
continues to set the industry standard for realistic simulation through its
technical excellence and product quality.
