 & PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Regulatory News:

Dassault Syst[c]mes (DS) (NASDAQ NASDAQ

U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on
:DASTY) (Paris:DSY DSY Drum Storage Yard ), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM (Product Life cycle Management) A comprehensive information system that coordinates all aspects of a product from initial concept to its eventual retirement. Sometimes called the "digital backbone" of a product, it includes the requirements phase, analysis and design ) solutions, announces the availability of a new SIMULIA direct coupling interface that allows third-party physics codes developed by partners or customers to communicate directly with its Abaqus FEA (Finite Element Analysis) A mathematical technique for analyzing stress, which breaks down a physical structure into substructures called "finite elements." The finite elements and their interrelationships are converted into equation form and solved mathematically.  software for high-performance multiphysics simulation.

The new interface is a key step in the delivery of the SIMULIA multiphysics platform to support the integration of diverse applications, data, and users from multiple domains for product development and scientific research. Industry partners and customers are leveraging the new interface to directly couple their software with the Abaqus FEA suite to achieve simulation results that are closer to real-world behavior.

"We have worked very closely with the SIMULIA team in the development and testing of their new interface," said Dr. Farzin Shakib, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of ACUSIM, a developer of commercial CFD CFD - Computational Fluid Dynamics  software. "I am confident that our mutual customers will benefit greatly from the combination of best-in-class FEA and CFD tools working together to deliver a directly coupled multiphysics solution."

The new SIMULIA direct coupling interface will complement existing Abaqus multiphysics capabilities such as coupled structural-acoustic, piezoelectric-mechanical, and electrical-thermal simulation. The SIMULIA multiphysics platform also supports third-party protocols including the Mesh-based parallel Code Coupling Interface (MpCCI) from Fraunhofer SCAI (Switch-to-Computer Applications Interface) A standard for integrating computers to a PBX. See switch-to-computer. .

"Providing an open platform and complete multiphysics solutions are critical aspects of the overall SIMULIA strategy and represents a collaborative effort that has been under development for more than a year," stated Ken Short, vice president of strategy and marketing at SIMULIA. "With the SIMULIA platform and our extensive partner ecosystem we will provide our customers with the most comprehensive multiphysics solutions available."

In addition to the new direct coupling interface, SIMULIA is expanding its Abaqus Unified FEA multiphysics capabilities to include Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI FSI Foreign Service Institute
FSI Fluid Structure Interaction
FSI Fuel Stratified Injection
FSI Federazione Scacchistica Italiana (Italian Chess Federation)
FSI Free Standing Insert
FSI Flight Simulator
). This Abaqus FSI capability, which will be demonstrated at the 2007 Worldwide Abaqus User meeting May 22-24, will enable engineers and scientists to simultaneously calculate the behavior of fluids and structures in a single model.

"Applications such as airbag inflation, tire hydroplaning Hydroplaning and hydroplane may refer to:
  • Hydroplaning (tires), a loss of steering or braking control when a layer of water prevents direct contact between road vehicle or aircraft tires and the road or runway surface
, wave loading on offshore structures, or cosmetics dispensing are ideally suited to this innovative approach," said Bruce Engelmann, CTO at SIMULIA. "We've targeted some of the most important industrial applications where the dynamic behavior of fluids and structures strongly influence design decisions. Our new capability will be a significant extension of our fully scalable Abaqus Unified FEA suite, providing customers with the right solution for the problem at hand."

"We support SIMULIA and their vision for offering comprehensive multiphysics solutions," commented Steve MacDonald, president & CEO CD-adapco, a leading provider of CFD solutions. "Combined with our own expert system and the existing MpCCI-enabled fluid structure interaction coupling solution of our STAR-CD product with Abaqus, this new direct coupling will offer mutual customers the utmost flexibility in performing multiphysics analyses.''
