Comet Solutions Joins Siemens PLM Software Partner Program

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., May 14 -- Comet Solutions, Inc., the innovator in conceptual simulation engineering, announced today its partnership with Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the Siemens Industry Automation Division and a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services.

Comet will provide capability for customers to better automate their design analysis processes and drive product development with engineering intent by the use of highly flexible abstract modeling and custom process simulation templates in an authoring-tool neutral environment for advanced systems engineering and conceptual design analysis.

"This partnership will provide significant value to Siemens PLM Software and Comet customers," said Dan Meyer, president, Comet Solutions. "Siemens PLM Software is a long-term innovator and leader in CAE and their customers are at the forefront of CAE use. We are pleased to provide complementary capabilities that extend the range of conceptual design studies and enable early multi-physics simulation that Siemens PLM Software customers can perform in an NX-centered environment."

"Comet enables customers to better leverage their existing advanced design, simulation and data management applications -- such as those offered by Siemens PLM Software -- including their in-house simulation software. By virtue of a unique multi-disciplinary data architecture, Comet enables design engineers as well as CAE analysts to perform complex multi-physics simulation processes through templates that can address optics, thermal, CFD, structural and systems engineering requirements with adaptors to existing commercial CAE software," said Malcolm Panthaki, founder and chief technology officer of Comet Solutions.

In addition to the standard results post-processing and reporting tools available in CAE authoring tools such as the NX Advanced Simulation solution from Siemens PLM Software, Comet's project dashboard provides a flexible, summary view of all the simulation data, easily visible to any level within the organization.

"The engineering-oriented dashboard concisely displays how a design meets product and simulation requirements, regardless of the underlying CAD and CAE tools used, and complements the type of business reporting tools available in PLM systems such as Siemens PLM Software's Teamcenter portfolio," adds Mr. Panthaki.

"Because Siemens PLM Software is committed to open systems and an open business model, we encourage the integration of third-party software tools that extend an open value proposition to our customers," said Chris Kelley, vice president, Partner & Platform Marketing, Siemens PLM Software. "As a tool-neutral conceptual simulationenvironment, Comet Solutions fulfills that requirement by embracing and extending the current systems engineering, digital simulation and data management capabilities in Teamcenter, NX and several other Siemens PLM Software solutions such as I-deas, NX Nastran, Solid Edge and Femap."

About Comet Solutions, Inc.

Comet Solutions, Inc. provides software applications that enable manufacturers to achieve a product development process driven by engineering intent. Comet software is a performance engineering workspace in which designers make determinations if design concepts meet engineering requirements during the early stages of conceptual and feasibility studies. By running analyses through reusable simulation templates, engineers and designers gain insight into product performance much earlier in the product design process and make better informed decisions. With Comet software, companies exploit the full potential of their existing CAD/CAE/PLM tools and explore more design alternatives, enabling the rapid development and delivery of more innovative, higher quality, and cost-effective products.

Panasas® Tiered Parity™ Architecture

Sep 04 | | Disk drives are approximately 250 times denser today than a decade ago. This is good news for users who are creating, manipulating and storing more data than ever before. It gives them an opportunity to derive more value from their stored data and lowers the capital acquisition and operating expense associated with that data.

Video White Paper: Architecting a Better Network Storage Solution

BlueArc's Titan architecture represents an evolutionary step in file servers by creating a hardware-based file system that can scale bandwidth, IOPS, and overall data capacity well beyond conventional software-based devices. With its ability to virtualize a massive storage pool of up to four usable petabytes of tiered storage, Titan can scale with growing data requirements, offering a competitive advantage for businesses, researchers, or other enterprises seeking to better manage data growth while still ensuring optimal performance.
