MAN Nutzfahrzeuge Group Germany Improves CAE Processes With Virtual
Product Development Tools From MSC.Software Leading Manufacturer of
Heavy Trucks, Passenger Coaches and Automotive Systems Increases
Efficiency of Product Development Processes With MSC.Nastran and
MSC.Marc SANTA ANA, Calif., Nov. 2 /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 MAN Nutzfahrzeuge
Germany, a leading global provider of heavy trucks, passenger
coaches and automotive systems, has improved their CAE simulation
processes through the integrated use of MSC.Software's SimOffice
tools MSC.Marc and MSC.Nastran. By combining the use of these
tools, MAN has improved their simulation processes and increased
productivity up to 30%, compared to use of previous software
solutions. MAN Nutzfahrzeuge currently uses a number of CAD systems
and simulation tools, including MSC.Nastran and MSC.Marc. In
concert with complementary software packages, the use of
MSC.Nastran resulted in dramatic improvements to the product
development process due to improved interfaces between the software
tools and the implementation of new commercial MSC.Nastran modules.
A smoother and easier workflow has resulted in both time savings
and improvements in the quality of calculations. "The work done at
MAN Nutzfahrzeuge is an excellent example on how the integrated use
of our Virtual Product Development products is resulting in very
tangible return on investment metrics for our customers," said
Frank Perna, chairman and chief executive officer of MSC.Software.
"The key differentiator for MSC.Software is our ability to provide
customers with a broad, integrated portfolio of products that is
unmatched in the PLM and VPD market. The competent development team
at MAN Nutzfahrzeuge has done an excellent job of optimizing their
CAE processes. By continuing to use these products and others in
concert with traditional physical prototyping techniques, customers
such as MAN can dramatically improve their product development
processes." "MSC.Marc and MSC.Nastran provide a perfect combination
for our engineering specifications and tasks," said Dr. Ulrich
Breitling, senior manager technical calculation at MAN
Nutzfahrzeuge. "With these Virtual Product Development tools some
of our calculations can be performed significantly more efficiently
and cost effectively than with our former systems." MAN is using
MSC.Nastran primarily for static and dynamic simulation of full
vehicles, assemblies or components and MSC.Marc for nonlinear
simulation of complex deformable bodies and contact issues. The
main goal of MAN engineers is to integrate Virtual Product
Development tools as early as possible into the development
process, thus giving designers the right direction with regard to
dimensioning components and assemblies. The new tools help to
accelerate the product development process and to reduce costs --
benefits which can be passed on directly to the customers of MAN
Nutzfahrzeuge. About MAN Nutzfahrzeuge Group MAN Nutzfahrzeuge is
