“MSC.Software Corporation (NYSE:MNS)(MSC), the world’s leading
developer of simulation software, today announced the release of
MSC.Nastran DMP (distributed memory parallel) on Linux, the
first of its kind Linux simulation appliance, enabling customers to
achieve supercomputer performance with PCs.”

“With MSC.Nastran DMP on Linux, one large task can be
distributed to several PCs running in parallel, accelerating the
speed of analysis up to 20 times, hence reducing costs and
time-to-market.”

“This MSC.Software Simulation Appliance is the first optimized
turnkey Linux CAE solution in the market,” said Frank Perna,
Chairman and CEO, MSC.Software Corporation. “Distributing large
simulation tasks amongst many PC computers delivers major cost
benefits against the other options available to our customers.
Increasing the amount of simulation enables engineers to do more
design iterations in less time, directly increasing business impact
by decreasing time-to-market and reducing production and warranty
costs.”
