Virtual Product Test for Designers and Engineering Simulation Software for Analysts at Pacific Design Show
At the Pacific Design and Manufacturing Show NEi Software (NEi) a will demonstrate how pre and post processors Femap®, NEi Fusion™, and NEi Works™ powered by NEi Nastran solvers assist both designers and analysts in testing products on their computers faster, easier, and with greater fidelity. Digital prototyping technology developed by NEi creates graphic results of engineering parameters like stress, vibration modes, and heat transfer when 3D CAD parts and assemblies are subjected to structural or thermal loads. Simulation software is receiving more attention in today's economy because of its ability to reduce costs through savings on fewer physical prototypes and test programs, reduction in redesigns by early recognition of problem areas, shortened design cycles, and accelerated time to market.
New virtual testing tools in NEi's portfolio include: Automated Impact Analysis and Drop Test (AIA™), Design Optimization, Automated Surface Contact Generation (ASCG™), Automated Edge Connection Generation (AECG™) and Progressive Ply Failure Analysis (PPFA™). AIA is used in a variety of areas including military projectiles, product packaging and drop testing of consumer electronic products. Design Optimization finds solutions for complex designs with competing parameters, such as structures that must be both strong and light. ASCG provides real world fidelity in modeling assemblies. AECG is a major productivity tool that significantly speeds model creation for shell type structures like cars, ships, and aircraft. PPFA reveals how damage is propagated through composite structures like carbon fiber and epoxy laminates.
NEi will be at Booth #3519 at the Pacific Design Show, February 10-12, 2009 in the Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, CA. NEi will provide qualified parties with a free exhibit hall pass and invites attendees to review their specific application with a technical specialist.
