Client Wins From January 24

Covisint Wins New Business From Vermont Blueprint for Health: The Covisint subsidiary of Detroit-based Compuware Corp. (Nasdaq:  CPWR), announced that it has signed a new agreement with Vermont Blueprint for Health, a statewide organization that improves individual health and the health care system for all Vermonters. The new contract gives care providers statewide access to a more comprehensive and tightly integrated view of their patients' medical information at the point of care. Vermont chose Covisint because of Covisint's ability to provide connected care coordination solutions that enable health care data to securely flow to those most important to delivering favorable patient outcomes. Covisint's DocSite solution creates a shared guideline dictionary for Vermont Blueprint for Health, giving access to common questions and answers that can be used across various electronic medical and health records. Covisint also can be used by community care teams and by practices with or without an EHR. The Vermont Blueprint for Health is a vision, a plan and a statewide partnership to improve health and the health care system for Vermonters. The Blueprint provides the information, tools and support that Vermonters with chronic conditions need to manage their own health – and that doctors need to keep their patients healthy. The Blueprint is working to change health care to a system focused on preventing illness and complications, rather than reacting to health emergencies. The Covisint ExchangeLink platform provides industry-specific services for identity management, collaborative portals and data exchange, as well as a third-party application marketplace.

Engineering Firm Selects HyperWorks to Develop City Car: Troy-based Altair Engineering Inc. said that Surrey, England-based Gordon Murray Design has selected Altair's HyperWorks computer aided engineering technology to develop a lightweight and fuel efficient vehicle, the T.25 City Car. The 30-people-strong team with over 500 years of combined automotive industry experience has produced a revolutionary city car that addresses congestion, carbon footprint and emissions. With aggressive targets, including a weight of 550 kg (1,200 pounds), fuel consumption of less than half of the UK average and best in class CO2 emissions, the team turned to HyperWorks to help achieve their ambition. The HyperWorks pre-processor HyperMesh was used to build and assemble the T.25 CAE model, which was subsequently analyzed for a variety of load cases and performance measures using the suite's RADIOSS solver. The results were then post-processed and visualized in Altair HyperView. The combined use of the HyperWorks tools helped the engineering team design a lighter car in a significantly reduced timescale. The light weight will further enhance the city car's road performance through less fuel consumption and, ultimately, lower CO2 emissions. OptiStruct, Altair's award winning  optimization tool, will be used by Gordon Murray Design in the future to help further refine primary structures. In the meantime, RADIOSS is used to analyse the torsion stiffness, bending stiffness, frontal offset loading and normal mode characteristics of the vehicle.
