Rand Simulation Acquires Predictive Engineering LS-Dyna Customers

Rand Simulation, an Ansys Elite Channel Partner and a division of Rand Worldwide, has entered into a partnership with Predictive Engineering to acquire their Ansys LS-Dyna (LS-Dyna) customer base and supplement in-house expertise to support customers using this technology. By expanding LS-Dyna consulting, training and support capabilities, Rand SIM says that it has strengthened its structural analysis business unit and is better equipped to support the large segment of the market that relies on this Ansys technology for its best-in-class explicit dynamics simulation needs.

“Integrating a fracture mechanics pioneer like George Laird, Ph.D., P.E. and president at Predictive Engineering, into our pool of talented experts allows us to provide customers with consulting, training and support expertise that leverages his decades of hands-on experience earned from countless explicit dynamics structural simulation engagements,” said Jason Pfeiffer, vice president, Rand Simulation. “This partnership equips us to serve our new and existing LS-Dyna customers with the highest level of technical expertise in the industry. Our clients are always looking to make their products safer through the performance of non-linear and transient simulation analyses in areas such as crash, impact penetration, ballistics, etc. This expanded LS-Dyna expertise allows us to help them simulate real world problems using this robust, accurate and efficient tool.”
