EX E CUTIV E ME SSAG E Increased Market Pressures Require Increased Commitment In today’s challenging global economic climate, we are acutely aware of our customers’ needs to reduce costs, be more efficient, and seek strategies that will enable them to emerge from the recession stronger. The pursuit of innovation does not stop during an economic downturn but, in fact, accelerates as individuals and companies seek new solutions to continue their mission to deliver valuable products to the market. The pursuit of innovation is well-documented by the case studies in this issue of INSIGHTS. Toyobo in Japan is improving the performance of textiles for clothing (INSIGHTS, p. 16), Kimberly-Clark is using a unique combination of technologies to develop more reliable dust masks (INSIGHTS, p. 12), and Silgan Containers is helping its customers get to market faster with products that have the right performance attributes (INSIGHTS, p. 11). We appreciate our customers’ willingness to share their experiences. At this year’s SIMULIA Customer Conference, the record number of customer papers presented included many impressive examples of innovation, efficiency improvements, and cost savings. One of the best parts of my job is the many meetings and conversations that I have with customers around the world. A consistent theme is that the increased use of realistic simulation technology is one of their key strategies for meeting their engineering challenges and efficiency targets. Frank Popielas of Dana strongly recommends that manufacturers invest now and stay current with software releases so that they gain the most benefit from key software enhancements, especially in the area of high-performance computing (INSIGHTS, p. 22). While investment will ensure that companies emerge from the downturn stronger, there is also an imperative to reduce costs and be more productive. I am often surprised by the large number of different simulation tools that companies use, usually for historical reasons. Consolidating analysis tools has the potential to significantly reduce software and training costs and allow more flexible use of staff. The many new features in Abaqus 6.9 (INSIGHTS, p. 8) continue to broaden the range of applications that Abaqus can address, allowing more of your simulations to be performed within the Abaqus unified FEA environment. Our Isight and SLM products also offer the potential for dramatic productivity gains. Our customers report that simulation processes that have traditionally taken weeks to perform are now taking days—or even just a few hours— due to Isight’s powerful process automation and design optimization capabilities. The recent announcement that Procter & Gamble (INSIGHTS, p. 4) is leveraging SIMULIA SLM demonstrates that our simulation lifecycle management strategy is supporting our customers’ need to improve and secure their simulation processes. By enabling process and data management, collaboration, and decision-making traceability, SIMULIA SLM is another tool that you can use to ensure that simulation is providing measurable business benefits to your company. Our goal is to not only provide software, but to partner with you to help your organization and company become more competitive in delivering better products to the market. We are confident that our strategy of developing robust, unified, and scalable simulation technology, as well as our new solutions for process automation, optimization, and simulation management, will help you meet today’s economic challenges and achieve competitive advantage well into the future. Roger Keene Vice President, Worldwide Operations, SIMULIA www.simulia.com INSIGHTS May/June 2009 3 IN TH E NE WS Procter & Gamble Selects Dassault Systèmes as Enterprise Simulation Partner Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) has selected SIMULIA SLM as their simulation lifecycle management solution to support P&G’s modeling and simulation strategy. The announcement evolves their long-standing business relationship with SIMULIA in the simulation domain from one of solution provider and customer into a strategic, collaborative partnership. “P&G shares a common vision with SIMULIA regarding the democratization of predictive simulation,” said Tom Lange, Director, Corporate R&D Modeling and Simulation, Procter & Gamble. “It is our goal to make the benefits of realistic simulation available to a broader range of users than previously possible. SIMULIA SLM will help our global teams accelerate innovation by providing access to simulation tools, validated processes, and corporate knowledge bases throughout the product lifecycle.” Based on Dassault Systèmes’ V6 platform, the online collaborative environment for PLM 2.0, SIMULIA SLM enables engineering organizations to capture, share, and automate the execution of approved simulation methods, improve traceability of simulation data, and accelerate decision-making while securing valuable intellectual property. “The partnership with SIMULIA will help the company develop better products and test them more efficiently—ultimately lowering costs and accelerating delivery of innovative products to consumers,” stated Scott Berkey, CEO, SIMULIA. >> www.pg.com Energy Innovations Drives Down Cost of Solar Energy Energy Innovations, Inc., a developer of High Concentration Photovoltaic (HCPV) solar products, is making solar energy more affordable with the help of Abaqus FEA software. The Sunflower™, their flagship product line, integrates photovoltaic modules, advanced tracking, unique power optimization, an embedded controller, and wireless communication to produce cost-competitive solar power while reducing installation and maintenance costs. Energy Innovations has been able to optimize their unique concentrating photovoltaic design product using Abaqus to simulate the effects of nonlinear materials and loads such as gravity, wind, and shipping loads. “Abaqus FEA provides the usability and robustness we need to evaluate realistic performance during the design phase,” stated Mindy Jacobson, Lead Engineer, Energy Innovations. “By leveraging realistic simulation solutions from SIMULIA, we are able to develop the most cost-efficient design, which is helping us drive the price of solar-electricity below the price of fossil-fuel electricity.” >> www.energyinnovations.com Sunflower HCPV energy production simulation is performed using Abaqus to analyze deformation caused by exposure to environmental conditions. 4 INSIGHTS May/June 2009 www.simulia.com Cambridge University Students Race to Design Solar Car A team of Cambridge University engineering students is using SolidWorks 3D CAD and Abaqus FEA to develop a solar-powered car they will race across Australia in the fall of 2009. More spaceship than road vehicle, the car’s flat shape will feature a large solar panel that converts the sun’s energy into speeds of 60 miles per hour or faster as the team races against other teams from around the world. Photo courtesy of Chellevan The World Solar Challenge is a biannual event drawing about 40 teams from universities, car manufacturers, and individuals to race across 3,000 kilometers of the Australian outback. This will be the first World Solar Challenge for Cambridge University Eco Racing, and the team is finalizing the car’s design and testing in SolidWorks and Abaqus. “When you think about
