"With SimOffice, manufacturers accelerate innovation by bringing products to market faster, using computer-based simulation to predict product performance and share this critical information across systems and suppliers, verify designs and reduce physical prototypes".
SimOffice is specifically designed for engineers who design, analyse and test complex mechanical parts and systems.
By enabling engineers to create and test models in an intuitive Windows-based platform, manufacturers can get better, more accurate design data early in the product development process.
With the rich collaboration capabilities of Windows Vista, engineers can also generate reports and exchange critical product performance information to make more informed design decisions.
Moreover, SimOffice is upwardly compatible with enterprise-level MD Nastran, providing engineers in complex supply chains the ability to exploit each others data and processes across OEM and supplier organisations.
"Microsoft is pleased to be working with MSC to deliver an enhanced collaboration experience to the engineers that are developing the latest design innovations in the automotive, aerospace and industrial markets," said name, title for Microsoft.
"MSC has exploitd Windows Vista's enhanced desktop experience to deliver the information designers need to drive design success".
Key SimOffice Capabilities Include:.
* Highly efficient engineering simulation environment for even casual users through tight coupling to Microsoft Office and other productivity applications.
* Easy to use Windows finite element modeler package exploiting MD Nastran solutions for the following types of analyses: linear static, linear buckling, normal modes, steady-state heat transfer and dynamic-frequency response.
* Open platform that provides direct access to a variety of CAD systems and standards, upward compatibility with MD Nastran and MD Patran.
* Model sharing and real-time collaboration enabled via out-of-the-box integration with Microsoft's Sharepoint services and Groove.
SimOffice will be available through MSC Impact, a global channel program that allows MSC resellers to bring simulation to a broad range of industries and organisations of all sizes.
MSC Impact brings resellers a competitive edge with channel-specific products such as SimOffice, training and support.
