MSC.Software Demonstrates Innovative Working Model Viewing and Visualization Technology at Its Automotive Technology Conference in Germany

    MUNICH, Germany--Sept. 21, 1999--MSC.Working Knowledge, a division of MSC.Software (MSC), Tuesday demonstrated Working Model Studio and Working Model View for attendees of the company's first worldwide Automotive Technology Conference.
    The new product versions will enable users to view, render and animate the FEA results contained in a MSC.NASTRAN XDB output file. In addition, the latest versions of Working Model Studio and Working Model View are core technologies behind the visualization, animation and design collaboration components contained in the MSC.Working Model product family.
    "The evolution of the design process that Working Model Studio and Working Model View represent is truly exciting for the engineering community. These products allow easy and visually powerful access to highly sophisticated and critical design data from the Windows(R) desktop," said David Baszucki, vice president and general manager of MSC.Working Knowledge.
    "This is especially important in the automotive industry where MSC.NASTRAN has such a large presence, but where access to the data has traditionally been restricted to a core group of analysts."

    About the Working Model Family

    The MSC.Working Model family, which includes Working Model Motion, Working Model FEA (formerly MSC/InCheck), Working Model Studio and Working Model View, represent the first simulation, visualization and collaboration system available on a native Windows Platform. Working Model Studio is a unique solution combining the engineering foundation of the MSC.Working Model family with sophisticated visualization and animation features for design collaboration and digital mockup. Working Model View is a low cost viewer allowing access to a long list of CAD/CAE and graphic formats including MSC.NASTRAN XDB.
