AutoNester-T

AutoNester-T optimizes the automatic placement of markers onto fabric panels. By configuring the optimal nesting pattern, the software minimizes the amount of wasted fabric. Leading manufacturers in the garment and upholstery industries already implement this software to optimize their production.

AutoNester-L

AutoNester-L creates automatically optimized markers for leather hides. The software nests the pieces optimally in a very short time, minimizes wasted material, while adhering to various constraints. AutoNester-L is used in the leather and car manufacturing industries.

CutPlanner

CutPlanner is a software package for use in the textile manufacturing industry for automatic cut order planning

AutoCompactor

AutoCompactor is a software used for compaction of two-dimensional nests. It compacts markers generated by humans or automatic nesting software. AutoCompactor is particularly intended to replenish the nesting functionality of the SCAI software AutoNester by an improved compaction algorithm.

PackAssistant

PackAssistant is the leading software in the field of optimizing packing configurations of identical parts into containers. The time-consuming process of trying to configure complex geometrical shapes into containers manually, with often non-optimal solutions, is a thing of the past. PackAssistant instead offers planners and packers a rapid, intuitive solution.

MpCCI

MpCCI links simulation programs, thereby solving multidisciplinary problems. This software supports the leading industrial simulation tools. In collaboration with SCAI and with the help of MpCCI, companies have been able to solve difficult problems using linked simulations.

SCAIMapper

Simulation process chains need to be completed; simulation results have to be validated by experiments. The SCAIMapper enables the coupling of a wide range of commercially available FEM software products. Codes for metal forming, heat treatment and crash simulations as well as data from forming analysis tools are supported by SCAIMapper and thus can be used in a coupled manufacturing process chain.

MapLib

The MapLib is a generic numerical library (C++) which can enhance your own CAE solutions with various mesh manipulation facilities. The MapLib offers a variety of methods to handle these incompatibilities – even for models with millions of nodes and elements.

RCE

The Remote Component Environment (RCE) is an all-purpose distributed platform for the integration of applications. Applications that are integrated into RCE have access to generalpurpose software components such as a workfl ow engine, a privilege management, or a standardized interface to external compute and storage resources (e.g. Grid or compute clusters).

By providing a unifi ed environment with ready-to-use existing components RCE hides complexity and enables developers to concentrate on their application-specifi c logic.

SAMG

The software package SAMG was developed for highly efficient, numerical solutions of large, sparsely populated matrix problems. Problems of this type can be found in the fields of fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, simulations of oil reservoirs and ground water, process and device simulation, semiconductor physics, and circuit simulation.

FEMZIP

Simply compress efficiently: FEMZIP compresses data from crash simulations in the car manufacturing industry as precisely as the user specifies. This reduces the total amount of data, yet important information is not lost and is still available after the decompression.

DIFF-CRASH

DIFF-CRASH analyzes the stability of crash simulations in the automotive industry. Physical bifurcations in automobile design and numerical instabilities in simulation packages account for an extremely sensitive dependency of simulation results on even minor changes to the model. DIFF-CRASH localizes these critical structural areas and offers suggestions for greater stability.

DesParO

DesParO is a unique system for multiobjective optimi­zation, providing the user with complete control of opti­mization processes. Contrary to existing automatic optimization tools, DesParO allows the user to explore interactively the whole space of design variables and to find the optimal region with respect to multiple design objectives.

SCAIView

SCAIView is a Knowledge Discovery software for the Life Sciences. It allows the fast finding of aggregated information form large text sources. For this it integrates the results of ProMiner with the associated text and allows semantic search.

chemoCR

chemoCR (Tool for Chemical Compound Reconstruction) extracts chemical structural formulas and their chemical structure depictions from scientific literature. The software package converts the structure depictions into a format the computer can use to process the information contained in the depictions.

ProMiner

The software package ProMiner identifies the names of genes and proteins in scientific literature. This identification is based on automatically generated lexica. ProMiner’s lexicon on “Homo sapiens” currently comprises 18,000 entries and 270,000 synonyms.

HLIBpro

HLIBpro is a program library of subroutines for the efficient solution of large linear systems of equations with sparse or dense matrices. It can be applied whenever the underlying matrices can be approximated by so-called data-sparse Hierarchical Matrices
