metra spa relies on msc.software simxpert to optimize the design and performance of extruded components
leading Italian company in the production of aluminum components uses multidisciplinary solution of msc.software to provide customers with valuable suggestions regarding the sizing process santa ana, ca - (2 April 2010) - msc.software, a leading provider of software and simulation services, today announced that metra spa, a leading Italian company in the supply of aluminum components, acquired msc.software simxpert, implementing it as a standard tool in its virtual product development activities (vpd).
simxpert is used by metra to provide its customers with a comprehensive service that includes design, application engineering and manufacturing support. thanks to simxpert, metra provides its customers with optimized extruded components from the point of view of weight, which allows them to save energy, increase transportable load, and ultimately contain costs.
“We have greatly improved our design potential by using all the features for the vpd offered by simxpert in a single working environment,” said ernesto carretta, responsible for technical applications at metra. “The multidisciplinary simulation features offered by simxpert allow our engineers to optimize the products in the design required by the customer using a small fraction of the time compared to what would be needed using more conventional mono-disciplinary analysis tools. ”
“We are happy to welcome metra in the growing group of simxpert users,” said kais bouchiba, senior vice president at msc.software. “Once again, simxpert demonstrates to increase user productivity, providing an integrated working environment and a common model for the various simulation disciplines, allowing engineers to simulate a large number of design alternatives within the product development process. ”
simxpert provides an integrated working environment that includes pre-procession, modelling, solution and post-procession for all major vpd disciplines, including structural, thermal, cinematic analysis, non-linear dynamics and crash. the combination of all these analytical disciplines in a single working environment strongly reduces the need for data transfer and modeling requirements, allowing a single analyst or designer engineer to manage the complete set of simulation activities. This approach allows to eliminate the gap normally existing in the collaboration between designers and analysts, allowing to integrate simulation within the design process.
metersmetra s.p.a. is a European leader in the extrusion of aluminium profiles for architecture and industry. the company, which has about 1200 employees, generates a turnover of more than 300 million eur per year and has 9 extrusion presses from 1800 t to 6050 t of maximum thrust that guarantee an annual production capacity of more than 90.000 t. metra counts several plants located in Italy (4 logistic poles), Canada and Poland. marketing is carried out through over 30 stores located in the major European countries. among the main products of metra are remembered, for construction and architecture: continuous façade systems, locks (flying, sliding, shutters), wrapping systems, sunshades, mobile walls, balconies; for industry: Extruded design and standard, extruded for rail, automotive and naval transport, components for automation and modular systems, components for electrical and thermal energy management as well as furniture and urban furniture. for more information, visit the website http://www.metra.it.
