Montreal – June 2, 2009 - Infolytica Corporation announces the availability of MotorSolve v2.2, an upgrade to the company’s design software for rotating electric machines. The extensive list of new features includes simulations and performance results for induction machines, system modeling tools and additional templates for induction and brushless machines.

MotorSolve IM’s new results module can predict the performance of an induction machine based on computations from the automated finite element based simulations. "We refer to MotorSolve as an automated FEA design tool since the user doesn’t have to worry about the mesh or any typical post-processing tasks associated with FEA software" said Chad Ghalamzan, Marketing Manager at Infolytica Corporation.

These results include charts (torque, power, etc), field plots (flux, losses, etc) and waveforms (currents,etc) amongst other quantities and reporting features.The results module includes several different analysis methods which give the user control over the speed and accuracy of the simulation, including:

• Equivalent circuit analysis of induction machine based on no load/locked rotor tests
  
• Motion analysis including saturation at each rotor step
  

MotorSolve IM accurately accounts for important effects such as leakage inductances, slotting, deep bar effects and skewing.

MotorSolve now supports exporting designs to VHDL-AMS, a popular format supported by most popular software for system simulations, such as System Vision©.

Pricing and Availability
MotorSolve v2.2 is now available for PC’s running Microsoft Windows® 2000, XP and Vista. For information regarding pricing or to request an evaluation please contact an Infolytica Corporation representative nearest you.

BELLEVUE, WA—March 11, 2009—Tecplot, Inc. today released the 2009 versions of Tecplot 360 and Tecplot Focus, the company’s industry-leading visualization software products. These new versions help users create more stunning visuals with less work, further enhancing the products’ ease-of-use and making it easier to share data, plots, or images with colleagues.

“Generating beautiful visuals has long been regarded by our customers as one of Tecplot’s strong suits. Now we’ve made the tools even easier to use, which translates into more impressive images faster,” said Mike Peery, Tecplot, Inc. president and CEO. “We’ve also made it easier to share visuals and data with colleagues who may not have the latest versions, which is something our customers told us they wanted.”

Leuven, Belgium – LMS, the engineering innovation company, is pleased to announce that it will be participating in EWEC 2009, Europe’s premier wind energy event. At EWEC 2009, which attracts leading renewable energy experts from around the world, LMS will present several of its dedicated wind energy solutions for wind turbine manufacturers, including the new LMS Virtual.Lab Motion Aerodyn Wind Loads feature found in its latest release, LMS Virtual.Lab Rev 8B.

Unlike other industries, wind turbine developers face some very particular challenges like aero-elastic wind load modeling, automating numerous and varying load runs and comprehensive pre- and post-processing. To solve this previously, users had to rely on specialized third party software outside the LMS Virtual.Lab environment and the related time-consuming data translations and importation, but thanks to this new feature in LMS Virtual.Lab Rev 8B -- LMS Virtual.Lab Motion Aerodyn Wind Loads, users will be able to reliably predict transient dynamic loads and use them as input for subsequent fatigue-life and radiated noise emission calculations – all from within the LMS Virtual.Lab environment.

Westminster, CA. March 10, 2009. NEi Software (NEi), a leading developer of Nastran Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software, announces a webinar titled, “Renewable Energy: Engineering Innovation and Reliability Through Simulation” on Thursday, March 26 at 11:00AM EST, 2:00PM PST. Registration is at .

Audience and Webinar Benefits. The webinar is intended for designers, engineers and project managers working on renewable energy projects facing the technical and business challenge of a fast track to cost effectiveness and high reliability to compete with entrenched power sources. To achieve this level of engineering performance for wind, solar, wave, and geothermal energy, engineers are turning to analysis and simulation software for a variety of compelling reasons. Simulations strengthen innovation
by allowing a comprehensive and critical exploration of alternatives. Parts can be optimized in the design stage saving precious time and money by eliminating rounds in the conventional multiple series of prototypes, tests, and modifications. Computer validation of part performance catches problem areas, saves costly re-designs, and improves quality and reliability. Virtual testing provides the insight for development of more effective and meaningful physical test protocols.

CONCORD, Mass., March 10, 2009 – Dassault Systèmes (DS) (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today announced that a team of Cambridge University engineering students is using SolidWorks ® 3D CAD and Abaqus finite element analysis (FEA) software from Dassault Systèmes’ SIMULIA brand to develop a solar-powered car they will race across Australia in the fall of 2009. More spaceship than road vehicle, the car’s flat shape will feature a large solar panel that converts the sun’s energy into speeds of 60 miles per hour or faster as the team races against other teams from around the world.

The World Solar Challenge is a biannual event drawing about 40 teams from universities, car manufacturers, and individuals to race across 3,000 kilometers of the Australian outback. Engineering ingenuity and grit are typically the difference-makers, with teams only having a limited amount of time to design, prototype and test their vehicles. This will be the first World Solar Challenge for Cambridge University Eco Racing, and the team is finalizing the car’s design and testing in SolidWorks and Abaqus.
