Press Release Summary:
NEiWorks design analysis tool is fully integrated within SolidWorks 3D modeling environment, which can work with any Nastran FE solver, allowing designers to send usable data directly to analytical engineers. Analysis data is seamlessly updated when geometry is changed. Finite element mesh generation and display technology are combined with user interface to assist both designer and analyst.
Original Press Release:
Noran Engineering to Release NEiWorks for SolidWorks
Westminster, CA. August 10, 2004. Noran Engineering, Inc. (NEi), a leader in developing Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) software today announced their new product, NEiWorks a CAD based analytical solution for SolidWorks, scheduled for release late Q4 2004.
NEiWorks is a design analysis tool fully integrated within the SolidWorks 3D modeling environment which can work with any Nastran FE solver, including NEiNastran, NX/NASTRAN or MSC.Nastran. This makes NEiWorks the first design analysis tool that offers upward and downward compatibility with industry standard solvers. This breakthrough will allow designers to send usable data directly to the analytical engineers.
"We have built a solid reputation for customer driven solutions with our flagship NEiNastran product and we have carried that tradition forward to NEiWorks," said Tony Abbey, technical director. "We intend to impress Design Engineers with the ease of use and power of this tool. The concept and layout is a direct result of focusing on what Design Engineers have told us they need in a product like this, combined with our many years of experience in FE Analysis. Beta testers have already shown excitement about the unique approach we have taken in giving them a comfortable and familiar SolidWorks environment which harnesses the power, reputation and compatibility of Nastran."
"This breakthrough product is tightly integrated with SolidWorks so the analysis data is seamlessly updated when geometry is changed," commented Sisira Jayasinghe, director of software development. "The state-of-the-art finite element mesh generation and display technology are used with innovative user interface to assist the designer and the analyst alike. The ability to create solid and surface elements in the same mesh sets NEiWorks apart from all other design analysis tools."
Early in the development plan to deliver a new tool/technology to such an advanced industry, one thing became abundantly clear: most of the technology needed to drive the efforts of simplifying a difficult process for the design engineers lies in the user interface. The missing link was in allowing these tools to interface with the many industry standard solvers. NEiWorks is the only design analysis tool that clearly protects the investment currently made by customers using Nastran solvers. Moreover, it will allow design departments and analytical departments the ability to communicate more effectively.
"This is an exciting new development within our industry," said David Branch, director of world wide sales. "We are very excited about the future and will be releasing another press release later next month regarding distribution. We will be seeking a new network of dealers that can assist customers with cost cutting technology."
