Implements MSC.MasterKey License System for Virtual Product
Development of Polymer Materials SANTA ANA, Calif., Sept. 22
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MSC.Software Corp. (NYSE:MNS), the
leading global provider of virtual product development (VPD)
products including simulation software and services, today
announced that Seeber Italy (Seeber), a subsidiary of the Rochling
Automotive KG and one of the world's leading manufacturers of
systems and components for the automotive industry, has invested in
the MSC.MasterKey license system. Seeber, who has relied upon
MSC.Marc for more than 4 years for the non-linear simulation of
Degas bottles, will now implement the integrated functionality of
MSC.Marc and MSC.Nastran for dynamic structural analysis of other
products including intake systems, filler housings, and charge
ducts for intercooler fans and shrouds. "Seeber is an excellent
example of many of our small and medium-sized customers who have
relied upon one or two of our software tools for a number of years.
As their processes and skills mature, they are looking to increase
their investments and further improve their product development
processes and MSC.Software, because of past successes, is their
partner of choice," says Frank Perna, chairman and chief executive
officer of MSC.Software. "There is a direct correlation between
investments in VPD technologies and processes and saving time and
money. We're very pleased that Seeber has chosen to increase their
investment in MSC.Software products and services and we are
confident they will see a rapid return on their investment." "When
we first realized that we needed software to simulate non-linear
material behavior we performed a benchmark and MSC.Marc came out
best for our needs," said Ing. Ferdinand Di Pauli, manager of the
simulation department at Seeber in Leifers, Italy. "As our needs
have developed, we use MSC.Marc to simulate almost all the products
we develop and now we want to include the simulation of structural
dynamic. Because we were already an MSC.Software customer we looked
at what MSC.Software had to offer. We decided on MSC.Nastran
because it is the state of the art software for this kind of
simulation and when MSC.Software proposed the MasterKey License
System we realized that this was a kind of flexible offer that
would include the products we wanted and cover all of our
simulation needs within structural analysis, at reasonable
conditions. We will deepen our knowledge within VPD and will keep
on relying on MSC.Software products. I believe that the future of
Virtual Product Development lies within the integration of the
different software products. MSC.Software is offering a lot in this
area and is an experienced provider of VPD solutions." About Seeber
