SAMTECH, the European specialist in the development of Computer Aided Engineering Software, is pleased to announce today the decision made by Airbus to deploy its new trans-national Structure Analysis environment ISAMI.

ISAMI is made of an exhaustive collection of harmonized sizing tools developed or selected by the Airbus methods team plugged into the CæSAM CAE enterprise integration framework. CæSAM is a commercial tool developed by SAMTECH and some of the methods call SAMCEF parameterized finite element models and solutions.

The new platform ISAMI will be used by Airbus for the composite and metallic structural sizing of the A350 XWB.

ISAMI which stands for "Improved Structure Analysis Multidisciplinary Integration" is the transnational harmonisation solution

designed to meet the structural analysis challenge. The purpose of ISAMI is to integrate the AIRBUS aircraft structure analyses in

one single Computer Aided Engineering framework where all the computation processes, methods, software tools and data are fully embedded. The CAE multi-disciplinary framework CæSAM developed by SAMTECH was chosen by Airbus to be this single structure analysis framework supporting element/brick/stone/arm of the ISAMI project.

"The A350 XWB is the first opportunity to use CæSAM industrially", says Eric Carnoy, SAMTECH CEO. "By selecting our CAE framework CæSAM to tackle its important challenge in Aircraft Structural Analysis and in bringing Virtual Testing for aircraft certification to the front line, Airbus demonstrates once again its confidence and trust in SAMTECH. It strengthens the long term partnership that was initiated more than 20 years ago around the metallic and composite structural analysis capabilities of our SAMCEF FEA, solutions, non coincidentally part of ISAMI too".
