Access to Immersive Virtual Engineering broadened by the acquisition of Scilab Enterprises

The integration of Scilab open-source analytical numerical computation software and its internationally recognized programming language used by over one million engineers and scientists for simulation purposes, represents another powerful driver that will widen the appeal of the PPL (Product Performance Lifecycle) approach adopted by ESI Group. By strengthening its position at the early design stages where Scilab finds extensive application, ESI Group continues to pursue its strategy steadfastly and demonstrates its goal of allowing its industrial customers to address the entire life cycle of an industrial product; looking beyond design, manufacture and regulatory certification, to its full service life in operation.
