ESI Releases Visual-Environment 10.0

ESI Group, a provider of virtual prototyping solutions for manufacturing, has released the newest version of Visual-Environment. The software allows designers to conduct automated meshing, setup and processing.

Version 10.0 supports additional formats generated by third-party CAD tools such as ACIS, Solid Edge, Inventor and SolidWorks. Users can now import directly from these softwares. It also has added integration for several modules of OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software.

A partnership with AMD has also helped the company include calculation speed and robustness upgrades to this version.

“AMD and ESI have tested and certified the use of Visual-Environment 10.0 with its latest professional graphics card,” says Antoine Reymond, strategic alliances manager at AMD. “AMD FirePro graphics are tested against a battery of simulations and real-world scenarios using rigorous certification processes to ensure their readiness for demanding professional use. Working hand-in-hand with ESI, AMD is able to provide Visual-Environment 10.0 users with a certified driver, delivering robust and feature-rich graphical support to manage Virtual Prototypes and large-scale engineering simulation models, as required for every day finite element analysis and for computational fluid dynamics.”
