Pioneer Solutions licenses Simulation Application Suite from Simmetrix

CLIFTON PARK, NY, September 26, 2005 -- Simmetrix Inc., the leading provider of component software for simulation-based design and CAD/CAE integration, today announced the licensing of the Simulation Application Suite by Pioneer Solutions. Pioneer Solutions provides software and services to support Simulation-Based Design with a current emphasis on CFD applications. The software products and services from Pioneer Solutions enable its customers to efficiently perform CFD analysis as an integral part of the design process.

Pioneer Solutions’ Fluid Connection product provides support for SBD and in-process CFD analysis in a Pro/ENGINEER design environment. Based on Simmetrix’ Simulation Application Suite, it provides a unique ability to define an Abstract Analysis Model for CFD that is independent of the current design instance. The CFD analysis problem definition is fully defined on this persistent Analysis Abstract Model. Fluid Connection includes full definition of the CFD problem, automatic mesh generation with boundary layers, and automatic generation of run-ready data for CFD solution for AcuSolve from ACUSIM Software, Inc. This allows for definition of the CFD problem and methodology by CFD experts and the use of this defined methodology as part of the product development process by users that are not CFD experts.

“Making Simulation-Based Design a reality in real world product development environments has been a personal passion of mine for years,” said Dr. Bruce Webster, President of Pioneer Solutions Inc. “The capabilities of the Abstract Analysis Model provided by Simmetrix’ tools make it possible to turn this passion into a reality. The Simulation Application Suite provides an excellent technology base for our next generation of Fluid Connection”.

“Pioneer Solutions use of the Simulation Application Suite illustrates the benefits of using a broad range of the tools offered in the Simulation Application Suite enabling them to facilitate an innovative new solution to the Design/Analysis integration issue within Product Development”, says Joe Walsh, VP of Business Development at Simmetrix Inc.
