MSC.Software Continues Account Penetration Strategy With Leading Rail Manufacturer Rotem.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)--Dec. 3, 2002 Korean Rail Manufacturer Increases Contract with 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. .Software, Deploys MSC.ADAMS and MSC.ADAMS/Rail To Predict Vehicle Performance 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, today announced that Korean rail manufacturer Rotem has increased their use of MSC.Software virtual product development technology and purchased MSC.ADAMS and MSC.ADAMS/Rail. Rotem has been a customer of MSC.Software since 1996 and relies on MSC.Nastran, MSC.Patran and MSC.Fatigue to reduce the time and costs of designing and testing rail cars, rail equipment and electrical systems. "MSC.Software is very focused on providing our customers valuable virtual product development tools and service offerings and our new contract with Rotem for MSC.ADAMS is an example of some of the success we're seeing," said Frank Perna, chairman and chief executive officer of MSC.Software. "This is also an excellent example of the incremental Additional or increased growth, bulk, quantity, number, or value; enlarged. Incremental cost is additional or increased cost of an item or service apart from its actual cost. opportunities we are finding to sell MSC.ADAMS to the core MSC.Software customers and helping them compete in world markets with better products." "In the 21st century, the Korean rolling stock rolling stock Any of various readily movable transportation equipment such as automobiles, locomotives, railroad cars, and trucks. Rolling stock generally makes good collateral for loans because the equipment is standardized and easily transportable among industry is playing an important role in our nation's economic development," said K.W. Lee, Principal Researcher of Basic Technology Team at Rotem. "Rotem applies the state-of-the-art technology provided by MSC.Software to develop better railway vehicles such as high-speed train and magnetically levitated vehicles. Rotem has been one of the biggest and most capable manufacturers in the industry and, through use of advanced technologies, has contributed an enormous amount to our industry." Under the terms of the agreement, Rotem will use MSC.ADAMS/Rail for system-level functional virtual prototyping of new railcars to investigate their running stability, comfort and safety in early stages of the development cycle. It is a natural extension of their existing development process, already based on MSC.Nastran, MSC.Patran and MSC.Fatigue, for structural optimization optimization Field of applied mathematics whose principles and methods are used to solve quantitative problems in disciplines including physics, biology, engineering, and economics. of vehicle components. Competition within the global rail industry has forced manufacturers to re-evaluate design and manufacturing processes in the effort to introduce new rail cars and transportation equipment and systems to the market in less time and for less expense. With technology applications like MSC.Nastran, MSC.Patran and MSC.ADAMS, rail manufacturers and suppliers can investigate the effects of different load variations and stresses on their products and reduce the amount of `trial and error' physical prototyping.
