Bombardier Transportation supplies its customers with products such as passenger rail vehicles, freight cars, propulsion & controls, and rail control solutions. With their new investment in the token-based MSC.MasterKey License system, Bombardier Transportation now has global access to all of MSC.Software’s VPD solutions and is using most of the tools within their simulation and analysis groups in 27 sites worldwide.
Virtual Product Development isn’t an individual product you can buy out of the box, said Frank Perna, chairman and CEO of MSC.Software. And to integrate and mature use of VPD into development processes means engineers cannot rely on piecemeal solutions. It is important to rely on a strategic supplier who can provide the whole range of CAE solutions including services.
Micko Bjorck, Manager Center of Competence Structural Mechanics, Bombardier, Sweden, added that the agreement gives us the guarantee to always work with the latest and best versions of the software. Since we can now try new types of software while still relying on the same provider, we expect to further streamline our development process.
