Liege, Belgium, 5th of June 2008. SAMTECH, the European specialist in the development ofComputer Aided Engineering Software, is pleased to announce today the decision made byAirbus to deploy its new trans-national Structure Analysis environment ISAMI.ISAMI is made of an exhaustive collection of harmonized sizing tools developed or selected bythe Airbus methods team plugged into the CæSAM CAE enterprise integration framework.CæSAM is a commercial tool developed by SAMTECH and some of the methods call SAMCEFparameterized finite element models and solutions.The new platform ISAMI will be used by Airbus for the composite and metallic structural sizing ofthe A350 XWB.
ISAMI which stands for "Improved Structure Analysis Multidisciplinary Integration" is thetransnational harmonisation solution designed to meet the structural analysis challenge. Thepurpose of ISAMI is to integrate the AIRBUS aircraft structure analyses in one single ComputerAided Engineering framework where all the computation processes, methods, software tools anddata are fully embedded. The CAE multi-disciplinary framework CæSAM developed bySAMTECH was chosen by Airbus to be this single structure analysis framework supportingelement/brick/stone/arm of the ISAMI project.
“The A350 XWB is the first opportunity to use CæSAM industrially”, says Eric Carnoy, SAMTECHCEO. “By selecting our CAE framework CæSAM to tackle its important challenge in AircraftStructural Analysis and in bringing Virtual Testing for aircraft certification to the front line, Airbusdemonstrates once again its confidence and trust in SAMTECH. It strengthens the long termpartnership that was initiated more than 20 years ago around the metallic and compositestructural analysis capabilities of our SAMCEF FEA, solutions, non coincidentally part of ISAMItoo”.
About CæSAM
CæSAM, (an acronym for "Computer Aided Engineering by SAMTECH") is a complete suitedesigned to go significantly further on the deployment and automation of capitalized Multi-Disciplinary analysis processes based on numerical simulation tools.
Knowledge Management and Extended Enterprise
The encapsulation of skills and knowledge into engineering Processes that combine and chainmultiple Analysis tools is a natural way to ensure the re-usability and knowledge sharing, inside oroutside a company while protecting its IPR. The analyst experts of the company (named hereafter“authors”) can autonomously build and document their own simulation process, involvingcommercial software, in-house codes, but also re-engineered algorithms with the CæSAMdevelopment toolkit. This includes any kind of simulation, from simple analytic formulas tocomplex FE models, for whom advanced capabilities (pre- and post- processing, exchange...) areprovided.
Multi-Disciplinary Integration Platform and Up-to-Date Technology
CæSAM offers an open architecture, mostly based on a plug-in approach and on programmingstandards such as JAVA, XML, SQL queries, Python... The core of this open architecture is acommon “Analysis Model” created by the experts of the company and shared by all across therelevant disciplines.
This architecture allows to work either linked to the in-house SDM (Simulation Data Management)or in stand-alone mode, making possible to use it in the early design stages and/or by off-linesubcontractors.
