Dassault Systèmes has announced new solutions for simulation automation and optimisation from Simulia.

New releases of the Isight and Fiper 3.5 simulations are the first since Simulia’s acquisition of Engineous Software. By using Isight and Fiper, product development engineers can integrate cross-disciplinary models and applications together in simulation process flows, automate their execution across distributed compute resources, and explore the resulting design space.

Dassault Systèmes says that these solutions enable manufacturing companies to improve the efficiency of identifying optimal design parameters and accelerate the process of bringing better-performing products to market. The simulations can be used in conjunction with Simulia Abaqus and Microsoft’s high performance computing environment.

The new capabilities in Isight and Fiper 3.5 will help customers reduce design time and manufacturing costs, while improving product performance, quality, and reliability.

Steve Crowley, Simulia “The addition of the open and industry-proven Isight and Fiper technology to Simulia’s product suite provides our customers with an unmatched capability for automating and accelerating design exploration,” said Steve Crowley, director of product management at Simulia. “The new capabilities in Isight and Fiper 3.5 will help customers reduce design time and manufacturing costs, while improving product performance, quality, and reliability.”

Isight 3.5 (formerly known as iSIGHT-FD) is the market-leading, open desktop solution for creating simulation process flows. It interconnects any commercial software - including but not limited to CAD/CAE, Microsoft Excel, and customer-developed applications - to automate the exploration of design alternatives.

Isight includes advanced engineering techniques such as optimisation, design for Six Sigma, approximation methodologies, and design of experiments that enable design engineers to optimise designs against key performance parameters. It also provides powerful interactive postprocessing tools to allow engineers to explore the design space from multiple points of view.
