Original Press Release:



ETA Introduces PreSys Advanced Finite Element Modeling Environment



First Tool in Inventium Suite - CAE Solution Enables "Concept to Product"

Engineering Technology Associates, Inc. (ETA) announces the introduction of its new enterprise level computer aided engineering (CAE) software solution, the Inventium Suite. The first tool to be released in the Inventium Suite is PreSys, the advanced pre- and post- processor core finite element (FE) modeling toolset. Other Inventium tools will be released in the near future.

PreSys is the successor to ETA's VPG/PrePost and FEMB products and will be available March 2010. PreSys draws on the experience of these legacy products, and combines this knowledge with 150 new or improved features. This solver-neutral product is completely aligned with the user-friendly Inventium architecture, and promises to immediately place PreSys in a top position in the FE pre/post-processor market.

The PreSys toolset features an easy to use interface with drop-down menus and toolbars, increased graphics speed, and detailed graphics capabilities. Other notable features include the ability to open and operate on multiple models, and review simulation results along with model data and a scripting interface. This allows the user to capture, replay and modify processes, and interact with third party applications.

These capabilities, combined with powerful, robust and accurate modelling functions, promise to change the way that engineers develop products and will unlock optimization software's potential for use in solving everyday problems.

The Inventium Suite includes some progressive new tools, while retaining ETA's legacy software products, VPG and DYNAFORM. Inventium's unified and streamlined product architecture will provide users access to all of the suite's software tools.

Inventium products offer a high performance modeling and post-processing system, while providing a robust path for the integration of new tools and third party applications.
The Inventium architecture was developed with flexibility and configurability in mind. It allows the user to change the way their software appears and behaves. New menus or toolbars may be created to meet the user's specific needs, while pre-configured menus can be modified as desired. For example, users can simplify the interface by deactivating all user toolbars and menus for functions not in use. Similarly, the user can create a customized toolbar containing 'favorites,' or frequently accessed functions.
