Integration of APEX Visualization and Results Processing Technology Allows for Comprehensive viewing of Multi-Disciplinary Simulations: MSC.Software today announced a signed agreement with Computational Engineering International (CEI). Under this agreement, utilizing the Service Oriented Architecture of SimEnterprise, MSC.Software will integrate CEI's advanced APEX visualization and results processing technology into MSC.Software's recently-announced SimXpert product line. This technology will be delivered to customers as a part of the MSC SimEnterprise solution set. "With our latest release of SimEnterprise, we are simulating some of the largest and most complex problems in manufacturing today. The ability to visualize these results accurately and quickly will be key to understanding, and predicting product performance and behavior," said Doug Peterson , senior vice president for Product Development. "CEI's APEX technology offers the most advanced and broadest visualization suite available today," "We look forward to integrating this technology into SimXpert to provide our customers with the advanced visualization they need for enterprise simulation." "MSC.Software's decision to integrate our APEX visualization framework is a compliment to CEI and a confirmation that we have achieved our goal of developing the world's most advanced technology for the visualization of sophisticated simulation models and results," said Dr. Anders Grimsrud, CEI's chief technology officer. "We look forward to working with MSC for many years to come." MSC.Software will deliver SimXpert enhanced by CEI's APEX technology in a forthcoming release this year. SimXpert, available immediately, is an advanced, next-generation multi-disciplined CAE environment that provides comprehensive depth and functionality to speed system-level simulations and allow companies to build, share, and execute best practices for simulation standardization throughout the enterprise.
