Numerical Simulation Tech promises digital support

Could you tell more about your business in Vietnam?

Numerical Simulation Tech Co., Ltd was founded in Japan in 1992 for the purposes of disseminating, diffusing and practicing the comprehensive numerical analysis approach to engineering problems. Last year, we established NST Vietnam to expand our business in this growing country. In Vietnam, we provide computer aided engineering (CAE) applications that we believe we will contribute to the development of many manufacturing sectors in Vietnam, including supporting industries.

What is CAE and how can this application contribute to supporting industries in Vietnam?

CAE is manipulation techniques on computer-aided calculation methods based on simulation data such as the algorithm finite element method. Using such a simulation we can find the optimal design, cut costs and improve product quality. It is widely used in many fields such as product design, shipbuilding, railways, nuclear education, automobiles, machinery, electrical precision and medicine. CAE can greatly contribute to the development of production in Vietnam in various fields, such as energy and transport, enhancing the competitiveness of manufacturers.

Who are the customers of NST Vietnam?

Our customers are involved in diverse areas such as education, research, and manufacturing. They could be Vietnamese or foreign companies. Presently, we are in the process of training staff to expand the business in Vietnam.

What is your opinion about the growth of industry in Vietnam?

Vietnam is in the process of industrialization and modernization, the economy is expected to grow over the coming years. That why we are expanding our business in the country. We think Vietnam will grow rapidly like China where industry is playing a more and more important role. We also understand that enterprises need to cut costs, shorten development time and improve product quality, this is an area where we can help.

What are your impressions of Vietnam's supporting industries?

The economies of ASEAN bloc states are expected to continue developing, so we will make Vietnam the center of NST Vietnam. To aid industrialization, Vietnam needs to be competitive. At present, Vietnam's supporting industries are still underdeveloped. However, they are growing. When we bring CAE to Vietnam, this is not only for supporting industries, the technology is available in all sectors contributing to improve product quality and reduced costs.

How can you provide CAE in Vietnam?  

CAE users are those who have a broad knowledge of all the rich areas related to physics and mathematics and must be able to read the results of the calculation methods set up by CAE software. To provide CAE services to clients, the technical staff of NST Vietnam need to equip themselves with the ability to use CAE. We currently have five well-trained staff members in the field, plus 20 years of accumulated experience in the field via NST Japan. We will help this team of engineers achieve technical maturity of the highest order, over the shortest time. After ASEAN economic community takes effect, the competition for power equipment products in Vietnam on the increase, with accumulated experiences to 2015 we absolutely have many opportunities to provide services to customers at CAE all fields.

To introduce our products, we will participate in the Vietnam Manufacturing Expo 2013 due to be held in Hanoi next September. At the expo, we will have two experienced engineers at our booths, available to describe NST's services. In addition, as agents of Siemens we will also introduce Femap software for CAE simulations.
