SimEnterprise

Extending Simulation to the Enterprise
The companies that excel in a global economy will be those that can respond quickly to changing customer expectations, business opportunities, economic conditions, and technology advances. Historically, companies have used physical prototyping to verify that products meet the rigorous demands of the real world. This has been rapidly changing as companies transform themselves to respond with speed and flexibility to a changing global landscape. They are relying more and more on simulation in place of physical test for the product innovation process. As simulation moves to the forefront of the innovation cycle, simulation practices themselves must evolve from their current disconnected islands of product support activities toward enterprise integrated solutions.

Based on a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA), SimEnterprise enables open connectivity between designers, analysts, and other simulation stakeholders for a highly collaborative design ecosystem, allowing each stakeholder to work within their preferred environments. With SimEnterprise, product development stakeholders, regardless of application preference or global location, can easily collaborate and manage simulation and simulation-based design information to accelerate product development in a highly cost-efficient manner.

Providing built-in connectivity to MSC Software's leading solver technology, including MD Nastran, SimEnterprise solutions allow companies to easily deploy role-based simulation applications and tools -- including existing MSC applications such as SimDesigner and SimManager, and to seamlessly integrate with third party applications and in-house or custom applications - to speed simulation and design processes.
