“Matra Datavision provides open source modeling components
and specific application development expertise over a five-year
period”
“Matra Datavision confirms the continued success of the Open
CASCADE initiative with the announcement of a new multi-million
French franc contract to provide development services around its
open source modeling components. Matra Datavision will provide 1500
man/days of development support to Samtech, a leading European
editor of analysis and numerical simulation software, for the joint
development of a preprocessor for Samcef Design, the company’s
powerful finite element solution.”
“Development expertise and software longevity were key to
Samtech’s decision: According to Eric Carnoy, general manager of
Samtech, Matra Datavision was chosen for the preprocessor
application development project because of its thorough experience
in developing technical applications for industry: “We have known
and worked with Matra Datavision for over five years on Euclid
Analyst. The company was a natural choice for the added value of
its development expertise, which will enable us to create a
seamless integrated solution dedicated to the analyst that will
complete our Samcef/Design offer and finalize our previous work
with Matra Datavision. On our side, we will concentrate our efforts
on the development of new features that will support the full range
of Samcef linear and nonlinear analysis solutions within this new
product.” Another reason for the choice was Open CASCADE’s
guaranteed longevity through its availability and evolution as open
source software, thanks to the contributions of the community
formed around it.”
“For Hugues Rougier, chairman and CEO of Matra Datavision “Matra
Datavision commits to taking care of development and technical
support, leaving Samtech personnel free to concentrate on what they
do best, enriching the application with their specific analysis
expertise. This means more efficiency and greater productivity for
Samtech.”
