Sometimes challenging times in business
can leverage, cultivate and grow our
creativity and innovativeness. They
remind us on how important networking
really is to develop and realize new ideas
and visions and to get inspiration from
other people and their views.
In early 2010, we can see a new
understanding and new beginnings in
many areas. It is the engineering
profession that has always created jobs
and projects, engineers bring things
forward, they bridge many gaps and
realize technological advancements.
Ing. Stefano Odorizzi
EnginSoft CEO and President
In the past year, EnginSoft has started several new
initiatives and strengthened existing ties between our
customers, partners, the academia, research and industry.
To us, networking has never been more important. During
my recent visit to Silicon Valley and the US, I have had
the opportunity to meet with representatives of BAIA, the
Business Association Italy America. BAIA is a political
business network that facilitates the open exchange of
knowledge and business opportunities. BAIA promotes a
culture of innovation by fostering entrepreneurial spirit
and principles, in the US and in Italy.
This edition of the Newsletter includes a review of my
encounters with BAIA, the University of California at
Berkeley, University of Stanford, and the University of
Santa Clara in October 2009.
Our readers also hear about SimNumerica, the University
Spin-Off EnginSoft has co-founded to support the
development of Digital Mechatronics by using Co-
Simulation. SimNumerica’s joint expertise is focused on
environments for the virtual prototyping of mechatronics
systems based on micro-controllers
We present the modeFRONTIER 4.1.2 highlights and the
successful application of the technology at Indesit
Company that recently has received the 2009 Ecohitech
Award for its state-of-the-art appliances. Volvo Car
Newsletter EnginSoft Year 6 n°4 - 3
Corporation tells us about robust design
optimization of a bumper system with
modeFRONTIER. The statistical capabilities of
the software, this time, are applied to the
modeling of the spread of a disease like swine
flu using relatively simple equations.
For those who are looking for first insights into
the field of optimization, we recommend the
article by EnginSoft Germany on optimization
in today’s product development.
Further software news feature Magma 5 for
Process Simulation and Forge 2009.
Another highlight of this issue is the article on ANSYS
simulation of carbon fiber and anisotropic materials in the
ATLAS Experiment and the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
We also present R&D News, current research projects, the
EnginSoft Event Calendar and latest advancements in HPC
High Performance Computing, as well as our Japan Column
which features CADdoctor for accelerating reverse
engineering and an interview with Mr Sakae Morita and Mr
Kentaro Fukuta of ELYSIUM Co., Ltd. Japan, both speak
about their time at our International Conference in
Bergamo this year.
Akiko Kondoh, EnginSoft’s Consultant in Japan welcomes
us to Shogatsu, the New Year, with Osechi-ryori and best
wishes from the land of the rising sun and Monodukuri.
