The Munich-based CAIQ GmbH – claiming “computer-aided creativity” – originates from a merger between the former FCMS GmbH and the well-known CAE service provider ISKO engineers AG, effective from July 1st, 2020. Our engineering staff of about 50 experts represents more than two decades of practical industry experience with focus on the German automotive OEMs, suppliers and machinery. Established business areas are comprehensive CAE services, engineering process solutions including simulation management (data, processes, workflows, and projects) as well as the technical focus of former FCMS GmbH on CATIA V5 improvements and enhancements as a long time Dassault adopter partner for the CATIA development platform. Our premium software product FCM – Fast Concept Modeller – as an embedded series of software modules, allows CATIA V5 users to seamlessly and associatively connect to any CAE-Tool and thus offer a completely integrated CAD-CAE-process solution. Beyond that, large shape changes may be performed without any loss of accuracy. This is a specific FCM-USP, which overcomes the classical barrier of higher flexibility versus lower accuracy and allows changes previously limited to concept design to be applied in late stages of product development. With that technology a uniquely powerful parametrical geometry master model enables users to derive any possible CAE model automatically. The market USP for this CAD-CAE-bridged virtual development process is the fact, that both the origin and the result of any functional evaluation of your product always are native CATIA geometry models. Newly, automatically created large shape and topology changes can be addressed for large scale parameter optimization.For further information please see also www.caiq.eu

What began at NASA 30 years ago has continuously developed into today’s HyperX suite of structural software solutions. As Collier Aerospace’s flagship product, HyperX performs design, stress analysis, and detail sizing optimization for aircraft and space launch vehicles fabricated with composite or traditional metallic materials. On average, the software reduces the weight of structures by 20%, an exceptional achievement for aerostructures. HyperX explores very rapidly a very open design space providing insightful design study trends. On the analysis and certification side, HyperX replaces the need for spreadsheets and “hand calculations” with automatically generated stress reports for FAA certification. HyperX customers are able to produce results faster and more accurately, giving them an edge over competitors.

ESI is a world-leading provider of Virtual Prototyping software and services with a strong foundation in the physics of materials and Virtual Manufacturing.Founded over 40 years ago, ESI has developed a unique proficiency in helping industrial manufacturers replace physical prototypes by virtually replicating the fabrication, assembly and testing of products in different environments. Virtual Prototyping enables ESI’s clients to evaluate the performance of their product and the consequences of its manufacturing history, under normal or accidental conditions. By benefiting from this information early in the process, enterprises know whether a product can be built, and whether it will meet its performance and certification objectives, before any physical prototype is built. To enable customer innovation, ESI’s solutions integrate the latest technologies in high performance computing and immersive Virtual Reality, allowing companies to bring products to life before they even exist.Today, ESI’s customer base spans nearly every industry sector. The company employs about 1000 high-level specialists worldwide to address the needs of customers in more than 40 countries.
