MSC.Software's Nonlinear and Linux Cluster Technology Enables Efficient Engineering Simulation for Nittetsu Plant Designing Corporation.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers SANTA ANA Santa Ana, city, El Salvador Santa Ana (sän'tä ä`nä), city (1993 pop. 129,873), W El Salvador. It is the second largest city in the country and the commercial and processing center for a sugarcane, coffee, and cattle region. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 26, 2002 MSC (1) (MSC.Software Corporation, Santa Ana, CA, www.mscsoftware.com) Founded in 1963 by Richard H. MacNeal and Robert G. Schwendler, MSC is the world's largest provider of mechanical computer aided engineering (MCAE) strategies, simulation software and services. .Linux Outperforms UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). in Thermal and Stress Analysis, Reducing Time and Costs For Leading Japanese Structural Engineering Company MSC.Software Corp. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :MNS MNS Minutes MNS Maharashtra Navnirman Sena MNS Malaysian Nature Society MNS Mass Notification System MNS Mirror Neuron System MNS Metis Nation of Saskatchewan MNS mission needs statement (US DoD) MNS Maître Nageur Sauveteur ), the leading global provider of simulation software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. , services and systems, and Nittetsu Plant Designing, an affiliate company of Nippon Steel Corp., today announced that the Nittetsu's System Engineering Department has selected MSC.Marc's Domain Decomposition Method In mathematics, numerical analysis and numerical partial differential equations, the domain decomposition method solves a boundary value problem by splitting it into smaller boundary value problems. (DDM (Distributed Data Management) Software in an IBM SNA environment that allows users to access data in remote files within the network. DDM works with IBM's LU 6.2 session to provide peer-to-peer communications and file sharing. See also distributed database. ) and the MSC.Linux cluster system to solve complex engineering problems. Nittetsu Plant Designing specializes in designing iron-making processes and environmental plants. "Manufacturers around the world are finding extraordinary value in the nonlinear analysis capabilities of MSC.Marc running on the MSC.Linux operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. ," said Frank Perna, chairman and chief executive officer of MSC.Software. "MSC.Software's work with Nittetsu Plant Designing Corporation is an example of the ways in which we are helping manufacturers and engineers save time and money by combining simulation software like MSC.Marc's DDM and computing platforms like MSC.Linux." For Nittetsu's evaluation of the MSC.Marc's DDM and MSC.Linux technologies, MSC.Software conducted a benchmark study on thermal and stress analysis on both UNIX and Linux environments. This benchmark showed that analysis performed under Linux cluster is significantly faster than UNIX for thermal and stress analysis. "Nittetsu Plant Designing Corporation expects to find further efficiencies in the design process for in-house and engineering phenomenon by performing more analysis case testing and large-model analysis with the DDM parallel computing capabilities in MSC.Marc under a Linux cluster environment," said Atsushi Yumoto, System Engineering Department of Nittetsu Plant Designing Corporation. MSC.Marc is a general-purpose finite element program for advanced engineering simulation. The MSC.Marc family of products has evolved and matured through constant development and worldwide use by thousands of engineers involved in the most challenging problems in structural physics. With 40-years of experience in high-performance computing across many industries, MSC.Software is leveraging its strengths in scientific and technical computing to deliver its customers state-of-the-art, high performance computing solutions based on clustering computers (Beowulf clusters) and the specially engineered high performance operating system -- MSC.Linux.
