SRAC Certifies COSMOS/Suite of Analysis Software on AMD Athlon Processor

LOS ANGELES, California - July 16, 2001 - Structural Research & Analysis Corp. (SRAC), a newly acquired subsidiary of Dassault Systemes S.A., today announced that COSMOS/Works the best-selling design analysis program for SolidWorks software, and COSMOS/DesignSTAR a powerful design analysis program that works with all popular 3D CAD programs, such as Solid Edge and Autodesk Inventor, are now certified on the AMD Athlon processor. 

Computer systems based on a 1.4 GHz AMD Athlon processor and Double Data Rate (DDR) memory are the world's most powerful x86 processor-based PCs for the performance market, including cutting-edge engineering applications like the COSMOS/ suite of analysis software. The AMD Athlon processor is an x86-compatible, seventh-generation design featuring a superpipelined, nine-issue superscalar microarchitecture optimized for high clock frequency; the industry's first fully pipelined, superscalar floating point unit for x86 platforms; high-performance cache architecture, featuring 384KB of total on-chip cache; enhanced 3DNow! technology with 24 additional instructions designed to improve integer math calculations, data movement for Internet streaming, and DSP communications. 

"Coupled with the performance of the AMD Athlon processor, the COSMOS/ suite of analysis products allows engineers to run complex problems faster than ever. This allows COSMOS/ users to quickly run multiple iterations and 'what-if' scenarios on their designs to check the quality and performance of their models throughout the design cycle," says Suchit Jain, VP of Marketing for SRAC. "The end result is shorter time to market, along with significant cost and time savings. COSMOS/ is bringing customer beneficial technologies to the engineering market." 

In addition to the basic structural analysis capabilities of stress, strain, displacement, frequency, buckling and assembly analysis with gap/contact, COSMOS/ software provides intermediate and advanced bundles for high-end users. Intermediate and advanced bundles contain nonlinear, both steady-state and transient thermal analyses, dynamic response, and fatigue. COSMOS/ also contains new, fully embedded add-on options for specialized analysis: COSMOS/Flow for computational fluid dynamics, and COSMOS/EMS for electromagnetic analysis. COSMOS/ software is currently available and can be purchased through one of over 300 authorized COSMOS/ resellers in 43 countries. 

"AMD is committed to the computer-aided design and engineering markets," said Ed Ellett, vice president of workstation and server marketing for AMD's Computation Products Group. "CAD engineers require superior processor performance, proven reliability and system longevity to be productive with this industry's processor-intensive software. With support from COSMOS/ and other software developers, AMD processors continue to realize market acceptance as powerful engineering tools."
