Noran Engineering, Inc. Becomes NEi Software
Noran Engineering, Inc. (NEi) announced that effective August 27 it will be changing the company name to NEi Software. “The name change was instituted to better convey to our business audience who we are and what our core business is” commented Dave Weinberg, CEO. “NEi Software is a global leader in the development of Nastran engineering analysis and simulation software which we market, sell, and support worldwide to a broad-base of industries via direct and indirect sales channels.”
NEi Software’s core product NEi Nastran Finite Element Analysis (FEA) solver works with all major pre and post processors. NEi Software sells, supports, and conducts training for Femap® by Siemens PLM Software and its own in house brands NEiFusion™ and NEiWorks™ for SolidWorks®. NEi Software has led the industry with a number of technical and business initiatives. NEiFusion and NEiWorks broke down long standing barriers between designers and analysts by providing a Nastran tool for the design stage that was easy to use, highly accurate, and shared results with analysts. Moreover, they provided a single platform growth path for designers and new FEA users to more sophisticated analysis using an industry proven Nastran platform. NEi Software continues to develop new technologies that make engineering simulation more practical and feasible by reducing the time, cost, and effort required while improving the real world fidelity of virtual testing. The most recent examples include: Automated Impact Analysis (AIA™) for drop testing, Automated Surface Contact Generation (ASCG™) for modeling assemblies and shell like structures common in aircraft, ships and automotive, Progressive Ply Failure Analysis (PPFA™) for in depth analysis of composite structures, and Design Optimization which finds solutions to problems that have competing parameters. On the business side, NEi Software’s Token Licensing System provides flexibility, accessibility, and economy in widespread operations by allowing a pool of users to share a central Nastran based software portfolio.
NEi Software has been proven in applications in aerospace, automotive, maritime, petroleum, medical, and consumer products. Companies gain a globally competitive product development process that promotes innovation, improves quality, and cuts time to market while delivering designs with the best manufacturing costs.
