Noesis Solutions announces the release of OPTIMUS Revision 8


Leuven, Belgium - February 27, 2009 - Noesis Solutions, the leading provider of process integration and multi-disciplinary design optimization software, announces the release of OPTIMUS Revision 8. With the new OPTIMUS Revision 8 release, Noesis Solutions realizes groundbreaking achievements in a multitude of areas.

There are several ways in which process integration and design optimization tools can effectively improve the productivity of simulation engineers. One, of course, is to provide tools that aid the particular field in which the engineer is working; another is to develop processes and methodologies in a flexible manner rather than forcing a predefined and complex coupling of CAE packages or trial-and-error optimization strategies. OPTIMUS leads in both areas and the new OPTIMUS Revision 8 is no exception with its particularly strong portfolio of new functionality.

Take process integration to start: OPTIMUS continues and extends its detailed mission to orchestrate a wide-variety of dedicated commercial or in-house simulation applications, including the brand new LS-DYNA interface. To cope with each simulation program parameter, the platform and IT architecture dependencies and compliances, as well as the various simulation versions, OPTIMUS Revision 8 introduces User Customizable Actions (UCA).

'Thanks to User Customizable Actions, IT administrations in charge of CAE applications, engineering departments and OPTIMUS users will control their own OPTIMUS workflow components to properly manage the set-up, the origin and the use/reuse associated with large-scale deployed simulations packages.' said Nick Tzannetakis, Noesis Solutions CTO.

The OPTIMUS user interface, already a model of ergonomic clarity, continues to evolve. Besides the persistent plot mechanism, OPTIMUS Revision 8 introduces the post-processing knowledge template. With a single click, knowledge templates automatically create post-processing plots from a template catalog. It is an efficient communication tool to compare engineering results, reached and reviewed by multiple users.

'To fully appreciate the power and benefits of the knowledge plot templates, it is worth noting that the persistent plot coupled to the reporting capability is one of the core components of OPTIMUS Revision 8,' commented Naji El Masri, Noesis Solutions Product Line Manager.

OPTIMUS multi-disciplinary optimization methods and openness capabilities also continue to develop with new extensions or refinement of existing functionalities. The Adaptive Region optimization algorithm and User Defined Response Surface API produce noticeable benefits in complex multi-disciplinary engineering design. Finally, the redesign of the overall interface brings an even higher productivity improvement --noticeably the full support of Asian characters throughout OPTIMUS Revision 8.

'Because architecture and CAE package integration in an IT infrastructure is generally closed and rigid and inefficient and error-prone processes like identifying the robust and optimum combination of design variables should be avoided, OPTIMUS Revision 8 continues to pioneer simulation engineering with instrumental new functionality' said Hans Wynendaele, Noesis Solutions President and COO.

To see all of the new functionality included in OPTIMUS Revision 8, take OPTIMUS Revision 8 for a drive. Contact your local representative or Noesis Solutions (info@noesissolutions.com) to arrange for the test drive.
