Structural Research and MDI Launch COSMOS/Motion.Business Editors LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 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 ), developer of COSMOS/ design analysis products, and Mechanical Dynamics, Inc. (Nasdaq:MDII MDII Machine Detected Interoffice Irregularity ), developer of Dynamic Designer/Motion, today announced the release of COSMOS/Motion, a new mechanical design 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. based on Dynamic Designer/Motion and powered by ADAMS motion technology. Fully embedded inside the CAD interface, COSMOS/Motion provides 3D dynamic simulation Dynamic Simulation is similar to a physics engine, the technology used in many powerful computer graphics software programs, like 3ds Max, Maya, Lightwave, and many others to simulate physical characteristics. capabilities, allowing users to see and study the realistic functional behavior of their CAD mechanical assemblies in motion. COSMOS/Motion can be used to detect moving interferences between CAD assembly components, show effects of forces and collisions between parts, and automatically output load data to COSMOS/Works and COSMOS/DesignSTAR. "We are pleased to expand our long-standing relationship with MDI (1) (Multiple Document Interface) A Windows function that allows an application to display and lets the user work with more than one document at the same time. with the release of the COSMOS/Motion product," said Barbara Guerra, president and 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 SRAC. "COSMOS/Motion combined with COSMOS/Works and COSMOS/DesignSTAR will help integrate the worlds of mechanical design, motion simulation, and structural analysis even more tightly than before." "This single-window integration of Motion and Structural analysis with CAD creates a unique synergy between the three products, setting new standards for ease of use," said Alan Wegienka, vice president of Mechanical Dynamics' Design Technology Division. "COSMOS/Motion automatically interfaces with COSMOS/Works and COSMOS/DesignSTAR, allowing CAD users to perform both analysis and motion simulation on their models within the same environment." COSMOS/Motion is currently available for SolidWorks and can be purchased through one of over 300 COSMOS/Works resellers worldwide. About Mechanical Dynamics Mechanical Dynamics' Design Technologies Division provides mechanical design simulation software for use within the leading 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 (CAD) environments. The division's Dynamic Designer products are built upon Mechanical Dynamics' ADAMS(R) dynamic solution engine, the world's most widely used mechanical system simulation software. Engineering teams from nearly every manufacturing industry today use ADAMS to build and test functional virtual prototypes of their mechanical system designs. Using ADAMS can help minimize the need for physical testing, allowing companies to save time, cut costs, and reduce risk in product development.

About Structural Research & Analysis Corp. A wholly owned subsidiary Wholly Owned Subsidiary A subsidiary whose parent company owns 100% of its common stock. Notes: In other words, the parent company owns the company outright and there are no minority owners. of Dassault Systemes S.A. (Euronext Paris No. 13065, DSY DSY Drum Storage Yard .PA) (Nasdaq:DASTY), Structural Research & Analysis Corp. develops and markets the COSMOS/ suite of 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. .
