SRAC Certifies COSMOS/ Suite of Analysis Software on AMD Athlon Processor.Business Editors LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 16, 2001 Structural Research & Analysis Corp. (SRAC SRAC Southern Regional Aquaculture Center SRAC Short-Run Average Cost SRAC System Realignment and Categorization SRAC Scenic Roads Advisory Committee SRAC Structural Research and Analysis Corporation ), a newly acquired subsidiary of Dassault Systemes Dassault Systemes (Dassault Systèmes S.A.) (Pronounced - Dasoh) (NASDAQ: DASTY; Euronext: 13065) is a leading company specializing in 3D and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software. S.A. (Euronext Paris No. 13065, DSY DSY Drum Storage Yard .PA)(Nasdaq:DASTY), today announced that COSMOS/Works(TM), the best-selling design analysis program for SolidWorks(R) software, and COSMOS/DesignSTAR(TM), a powerful design analysis program that works with all popular 3D CAD programs, such as Solid Edge and Autodesk Inventor(R), are now certified on the AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. Athlon(TM) processor. Computer systems based on a 1.4 GHz AMD Athlon processor and Double Data Rate (DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory ) memory are the world's most powerful x86 processor-based PCs for the performance market, including cutting-edge engineering applications like the COSMOS/ suite of analysis software. The AMD Athlon processor is an x86-compatible, seventh-generation design featuring a superpipelined, nine-issue superscalar A CPU architecture that allows more than one instruction to be executed in one clock cycle. See pipeline processing. (architecture) superscalar - A superscalar architecture is a uniprocessor that can execute two or more scalar operations in parallel. microarchitecture optimized for high clock frequency; the industry's first fully pipelined, superscalar floating point unit for x86 platforms; high-performance cache architecture, featuring 384KB of total on-chip cache; enhanced 3DNow!(TM) technology with 24 additional instructions A charge given to a jury by a judge after the original instructions to explain the law and guide the jury in its decision making. Additional instructions are frequently needed after the jury has begun deliberations and finds that it has a question concerning the evidence, a designed to improve integer math calculations, data movement for Internet streaming, and DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive communications. "Coupled with the performance of the AMD Athlon processor, the COSMOS/ suite of analysis products allows engineers to run complex problems faster than ever. This allows COSMOS/ users to quickly run multiple iterations and 'what-if' scenarios on their designs to check the quality and performance of their models throughout the design cycle," said Suchit Jain, vice president of Marketing for SRAC. "The end result is shorter time to market, along with significant cost and time savings. COSMOS/ is bringing customer-beneficial technologies to the engineering market." In addition to the basic structural analysis capabilities of stress, strain, displacement, frequency, buckling and assembly analysis with gap/contact, COSMOS/ software provides intermediate and advanced bundles for high-end users. Intermediate and advanced bundles contain nonlinear, both steady-state and transient thermal analyses, dynamic response, and fatigue. COSMOS/ also contains new, fully embedded add-on options for specialized analysis: COSMOS/Flow for computational fluid dynamics Computational fluid dynamics The numerical approximation to the solution of mathematical models of fluid flow and heat transfer. Computational fluid dynamics is one of the tools (in addition to experimental and theoretical methods) available to solve , and COSMOS/EMS for electromagnetic analysis. COSMOS/ software is currently available and can be purchased through one of more than 300 authorized COSMOS/ resellers in 43 countries. "AMD is committed to the computer-aided design computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), form of automation that helps designers prepare drawings, specifications, parts lists, and other design-related elements using special graphics- and calculations-intensive and engineering markets," said Ed Ellett, vice president of workstation and server marketing for AMD's Computation Products Group. "CAD engineers require superior processor performance, proven reliability and system longevity to be productive with this industry's processor-intensive software. With support from COSMOS/ and other software developers, AMD processors continue to realize market acceptance as powerful engineering tools." About Structural Research & Analysis Corp. Recently acquired by Dassault Systemes S.A., Structural Research & Analysis Corp. develops and markets design analysis software products for the mechanical computer-aided engineering market. Since its inception in 1982, SRAC has contributed innovations that have had a significant impact on the evolution of 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. .
