Oasys PRIMER, T/HIS, D3PLOT, and REPORTER software can all be started from the Oasys SHELL. Most importantly, there is an advanced LS-DYNA submission shell for submitting analyses which allow the user easy access to the all the various options available when submitting an LS-DYNA run. It also provides easy access to the Oasys and LS-DYNA manuals. Main features: · Online, background, batch and queue (NQS/LSF/ CODINE) submission · Full control over queue and job CPU and memory limits · Selection of all LS-DYNA input and output files · Switch from the LSTC to the Arup naming convention (d3plot vs jobname.ptf)•Simplified restart procedure · Access to manuals (both HTML and pdf available) LS-DYNA Submission Window The LS-DYNA submission window within the Oasys SHELL gives you full access to the various options available when submitting an LS-DYNA job and will work with most major queuing systems. It also allows users to easily chose the required dump file when performing an LS-DYNA restart.

ESI IC.IDO runs on HTC Vive Business Editions Paris, France – January 23, 2016 – ESI Group, manufacturing process engineers, assembly leading innovator in Virtual Prototyping tooling program managers and ergonomic software and services for manufacturing engineers will benefit from IC.IDO’s latest industries, announces the latest release of developments for speeding up process and IC.IDO, its Virtual Reality (VR) solution assembly design, avoiding bottlenecks and designed for industrial use. ESI IC.IDO 11 optimizing productivity. Enabling collaborative brings solid performance improvements along process design reviews with colleagues either with new functionalities for efficient in-process on-site or remote, IC.IDO is a great tool to engineering reviews, assembly tooling foster interactive process reviews and to validation, and early accessibility and eliminate design and ergonomic errors early in serviceability assessment. Fully compatible the process, before any physical prototype is with Head Mounted Displays (HMD), IC.IDO built. 11 also enables manufacturing companies to benefit from the integration of VR at every step According to Philippe JAMES, VP Continuous of the engineering process. Users can interact Improvement and Risks at Safran Nacelles, naturally with their designs, using realistic hand “IC.IDO is profoundly changing the way and arm motion, while applying engineering Safran Nacelles engineers work: Virtual changes to their existing VR scenes. Reality reduces the need for physical prototypes and costly retooling, while ESI IC.IDO version 11 focuses on supporting promoting live team discussion to deploy the design and validation of efficient optimum designs much faster than when manufacturing and assembly processes, for all working in silos.” industries. Process release engineers, FEA Information Engineering Solutions Page 8 ESI releases IC.IDO 11, Placing Virtual Reality at the Core of Industrial Engineering IC.IDO 11 is also the first version of the “ESI’s adoption of Vive Business Edition, with software built to run on Head-Mounted their industry leading IC.IDO, is testimony to Displays (HMD), in addition to VR CAVEs, how quickly virtual reality immersive display technology is being adopted by leading powerwalls and desktop systems. The ability to engineering and manufacturing companies,” use HMDs, such as the well-known HTC Vive says Herve Fontaine, VP Virtual Reality Business Edition, empowers engineers to delve Enterprise and Business Development at HTC deeper into design exploration through Vive. immersive VR. They can enjoy a more natural They [ESI] have been pioneering precision experience, with realistic hand and arm motion, engineering simulation technology for decades; and continue to benefit from real-time and real- accelerating time to market, product quality, scale product interactions. Furthermore, they and cost efficiency across large segments of the can use VR earlier in the development process manufacturing industry. We are proud to be the as they are no longer constrained by the virtual reality solution of choice for their new availability of centralized resources (VR CAVE product offering. IC.IDO 11 with Vive or VR experts). Their HMD now provides Business Edition allows engineers to simulate direct access to a user-friendly desktop VR their designs in room-scale VR months before system at any time. the first parts are available. Leveraging Vive With IC.IDO 11, engineers can perform virtual Business Edition’s high quality display, precise reviews of product/process integration naturally tracking and interactive controllers, every in Virtual Reality, validate accessibility without engineer can now perform quick prototyping requiring users to wear dedicated body tracking and immersive “in-process” validation without suits/sleeves, and verify that a product design requiring a CAVE. will be serviceable in the field.
