Energy Innovations Picks SIMULIA Abaqus FEA
 PARIS,
France and PROVIDENCE, R.I., Apr 8, 2009 - Dassault Systems (DS) (Euronext
Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management
(PLM) solutions, today announced that Energy Innovations, Inc., a developer of
High Concentration Photovoltaic (HCPV) commercial solar products that maximize
the capture of energy from the sun, is making the use of solar energy a more
cost-effective and intelligent consumer investment with the help of Abaqus
finite element analysis (FEA) software from the DS SIMULIA brand. Reducing the
cost of solar energy is an important factor in encouraging its use and reducing
CO2 emissions from electricity generated by fossil fuels.
Energy Innovations’ flagship product line, the Sunflower integrates
photovoltaic modules, unique power optimization, an embedded controller and
wireless communication to produce cost-competitive solar power. It also
provides reduced installation and maintenance costs. The technology is the
first and only solar concentrator to earn a UL (Underwriters Laboratories)
listing. UL is the trusted resource across the globe for product safety
certification and compliance solutions. - By using Abaqus FEA to simulate
the effects of nonlinear materials and loads such as gravity, wind, and
shipping loads on their designs, Energy Innovations has been able to
optimize their unique concentrating photovoltaic design product.
“Abaqus FEA provides the usability and robustness we need to evaluate
realistic performance during the design phase,” stated Mindy Jacobson, Lead
Engineer, Energy Innovations. “By leveraging realistic simulation solutions from
SIMULIA, we are able to develop the most cost-efficient design, which is helping
us drive the price of solar-electricity below the price of fossil-fuel
electricity.”
“We are dedicated to providing realistic simulation solutions that enable
companies such as Energy Innovations to develop lower cost renewable energy
products,” stated Ken Short, VP Strategy and Marketing, SIMULIA, Dassault
Systems. “Abaqus FEA offers proven analysis capabilities that are used to
evaluate real-world performance earlier in the development cycle, thereby
accelerating the delivery of innovative products that have a positive impact on
our environment and society.”
