What’s New in Isight and Tosca?

The Latest Releases of Isight & Tosca are Now Available

This eSeminar will introduce the latest technical capabilities available in these powerful optimization solutions—now accessible using SIMULIA extended token licensing.

Isight 2017

isight-releaseIsight provides simulation process automation and design optimization solutions that enable users to reduce analysis time and costs while improving product performance, quality, and reliability. When used in conjunction with the SIMULIA Execution Engine (SEE), Isight customers can build a web-based framework for distributing the execution of simulation processes across the enterprise to optimize computing resource and to enable collaboration among geographically distributed users.

For Isight, the 2017 release further enhances certain components connecting to 3rd party tools and installation procedure. For the SIMULIA Execution Engine, this release enhances infrastructure to provide better control over execution of complex processes.

Release highlights include:

  • Updated SIMULIA Execution Engine (SEE)
    • Improved robustness and performance of TomEE
  • Component Enhancements
    • Abaqus component upgrade
    • ANSYS Workbench component upgrade
    • Excel / Word components upgrade
    • MATLAB component upgrade
    • Pointer–II performance improvements

Tosca 2017

tosca-releaseThe Tosca optimization suite provides fast and powerful structural and flow optimization solutions based on FEA and CFD simulations. It consists of two products:

  • Tosca Structure for optimized structural designs
  • Tosca Fluid for optimized fluid flow design concepts.

Tosca Structure delivers powerful optimization solutions for design of lightweight, stiff, and durable parts and assemblies within shorter development cycles to maximize performance, minimize material and weight, and discover new design possibilities.

Tosca Fluid enables topology optimization-driven design concepts for fluid flow systems and components. Use its capabilities to create innovative design ideas automatically for a defined flow task and available package space. Tosca Fluid’s unique technology helps you achieve the highest flow performance, quality and eco-efficiency.

Release highlights include:

  • Tosca Structure 2017 enhancements:
    • Improved fe-safe integration
    • New Tosca Python driver integrates Abaqus and Tosca together and offers up to 75% faster runtime performance
    • New custom interpolation schemes
  • Tosca Fluid 2017 enhancements:
    • Tosca Fluid improved interfaces for: StarCCM+ 9.02 – 11.04
