To address the growing time-to-market challenges for manufacturers competing on a global scale, Silicon Graphics (NYSE: SGI) and MSC.Software Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: MNSC.PK) today at the SAE Noise and Vibration Conference and Exhibition unveiled a powerful, integrated solution to streamline and accelerate virtual product development (VPD).
With VPD solutions, engineers can consider more design alternatives and evaluate them more thoroughly. By subjecting digital prototypes to stress tests, aerodynamic studies and other data-intensive analyses, engineers can verify product designs faster and less expensively than if they built and tested physical mock-ups.

A forensics laboratory here is using a sophisticated computer system to reproduce crime scenes, re-creating everything from the path of a bullet to the movement of a corpse with startling realism. The first-of-its-kind system, powered by a visualization system from Silicon Graphics (NYSE: SGI), is located at Rome’s RiTriDEC (Ricostruzione Tridimensionale della Dinamica dell’Evento Criminale)
laboratory.

To increase the level of realism when evaluating virtual vehicles and to accelerate its adoption by industry, scientists at Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering (IAO) have selected the Silicon Graphics Prism(TM) platform from SGI (NYSE: SGI) to solve a new class of data and rendering intensive problems never before possible in virtual environments. Using Virtual Drive, physical prototypes become unnecessary and test drives of many different variants can be performed in the very early stages of vehicle design — reducing costs, accelerating work flows and
resulting in more mature products.
