Microsat Systems Accelerates Satellite Time-to-Launch with Realistic Simulation Solutions from Dassault Systemes.Abaqus Unified 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 from SIMULIA Provides Small Business Competitive Edge for Innovative Satellite Development PARIS Paris, in Greek mythology Paris or Alexander, in Greek mythology, son of Priam and Hecuba and brother of Hector. Because it was prophesied that he would cause the destruction of Troy, Paris was abandoned on Mt. & PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Dassault Syst[c]mes (DS) (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations 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 Product lifecycle or product life cycle is the course of a product's sales and profits over time. The five stages of each product lifecycle are product development, introduction, growth, maturity and decline. 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, today announced that MicroSat Systems, a fast-growing provider of high-performance satellites based in Colorado, USA, is accelerating the evaluation of product performance and reliability with Abaqus Unified Finite Element Analysis Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computer simulation technique used in engineering analysis. It uses a numerical technique called the finite element method (FEM). There are many finite element software packages, both free and proprietary. (FEA) software from SIMULIA. "With more commercial and government programs needing small satellites capable of carrying larger payloads, it is critical to our success to be able to deliver flexible satellite solutions that meet their requirements in a shorter amount of time," said Todd J. Mosher A mosher is a person who is crossed between goth/punk/skater they have long hair and listen to music like slipknot and metal music. Some people call them headbangers. At certain music shows they have something called a mosh pit, basically its a fight pit with loads of people bashing each other. , Ph.D., director, advanced systems, MicroSat Systems Inc. "We selected Abaqus FEA software due to its reputation for sophisticated nonlinear simulation including pre-loads, mechanisms, and thin-shell aerospace applications." MicroSat Systems is using Abaqus Unified FEA software to analyze the structural and thermal response of their satellite systems, which consist of a modular bus structure; lightweight and foldable, thin-film, solar array systems; and miniaturized avionics. Realistic simulation solutions from SIMULIA are enabling MicroSat Systems to develop a competitive product line of satellite buses that provide more payload, power, data processing, and pointing accuracy. "Our strategy of delivering advanced FEA technology with improved usability is key to enabling small to mid-size companies such as MicroSat Systems to accelerate the development of innovative products," stated Ken Short, vice president, SIMULIA strategy and marketing, Dassault Syst[c]mes. "The technology in Abaqus Unified FEA makes it possible to analyze the full spectrum of a product's physical performance and get closer to real-world behavior more affordably than previously." SIMULIA's scalable suite of Unified FEA products allows users to collaborate seamlessly, sharing simulation data and approved methods across multidisciplinary workgroups. About MicroSat Systems, Inc.
