2005
 

December

• During the year the customer count has increased, to reach over 250. Over 30 new customers signed up for GT-SUITE, among them Aprilia, Mark IV, Nissan Europe, Renault VI (part of Volvo Truck), Skoda, Siemens, Komatsu and Kubota.

November

• Cummins and GTI demonstrated the use of GT-SUITE for Real-Time simulations, in a presentation given by Cummins at the GT-SUITE Conference in Dearborn. Examples were shown of real-time "hardware in the loop" application.
• DaimlerChrysler US adopted GT-POWER for massive design optimization studies. These are run in parallel on a large network of computers to deliver rapid solutions. This work utilizes methodologies for distributed runs and for optimization which are built-in directly in GT-SUITE and require no third party products to operate. This work was presented at the GT-SUITE Conference in Dearborn.

June

• First GT-SUITE Conference in China (adding to those in Japan and Korea)

May

• BMW and GTI teamed up to develop a new automated capability in GT-POWER to analyze engine cylinder pressures acquired in tests to derive accurate rate of burn. This new capbility is a further step by GTI in its work on integration of test and simulation.

April

• Added Renault VI as a customer, and with this important step now all US and European truck makers use GT-POWER

August

• An Illinois state court jury ruled on August 31, 2004 against Fawzan Alsharif, Business Development Manager of Ricardo Software in a lawsuit over untrue and defamatory e-mails. The evidence showed that Alsharif had fabricated and sent defamatory e-mails under an assumed name, after concluding that he needed to "smear" Dr. Morel's reputation in order for Ricardo Software to be able to compete with Gamma Technologies for sales of automotive software products.

June

• In June, GTI celebrated the 10th anniversary of its founding in 1994. The occasion was marked by an evening cruise on the beautiful Lake Michigan in downtown Chicago. The cruise was organized for all the employees and their spouses. It featured a dinner, award presentation and dance. The evening weather was picture perfect, offering spectacular views of Chicago in the sunset.
