ESI Group announces SYSTUS 2000 - also available on parallel platforms

Paris 16 February 2001 ESI Group announced the availability of SYSTUS 2000, a multiphysics simulation software used for thorough analysis of complex mechanical phenomena. SYSTUS 2000 simulates all aspects of mechanical processes involved in a product life cycle, from the early design of the product to its behaviour over time under real-life conditions. Its general Finite Element (FE) implicit software performs both linear and non-linear analysis in static, dynamic, thermo-mechanical, and electromagnetic fields through an improved user interface.

With the GEOMESH module, SYSTUS users experience a new level of CAD/CAE interoperability. By providing seamless interfacing between major CAD solutions and SYSTUS 2000, GEOMESH intuitive and automated tools speed-up the time consuming process of cleaning and meshing CAD geometries.

SYSTUS is being used extensively in a wide range of industries for mission critical analysis, like nuclear power plant safety.

SYSTUS Market

  • Aerospace: SYSTUS predicts thermal analyses of electrical equipment at Alcatel Space, and simulates the impact of lightning strike on an aircraft at EADS.
  • Civil Engineering: Building contractors like Campenon Bernard, Setra, and Spie Batignolles use SYSTUS to study static and dynamic behavior of steel reinforced concrete structures. OCW investigates crack-propagation and wear of road-surfaces.
  • Consumer Goods: BSN Glasspack simulates and optimizes with SYSTUS the glass blow-forming process, including the complex contact between the glass and the mould.
  • Energy: Companies like EDF, Framatome, IFP, SGN, Stolt Offshore, and Tractebel use SYSTUS's advanced features to predict life-time stress-distribution, and responses to thermal or seismic shocks.
  • Industrial Machinery: New Holland Belgium NV studies with SYSTUS the static and dynamic analysis of harvesting combines, straw-cutters and tractors.

Main New Features

  • New coupling procedure for automatic connection of incompatible meshes allows easy connection to various types of meshes.
  • New contact functionality provides realistic simulation of clipping between parts.
  • Dedicated civil engineering module offers steel framework, reinforced concrete beam and shell structure simulation.
  • Optimized specific direct solver and 64 bit shared memory parallel version can reduce processing-time by more than ten.

SYSTUS is available on Windows NT and UNIX platforms from Compaq, HP, IBM, SGI, and SUN. 64 bits shared memory parallel versions are available on Compaq, HP, and SGI.
