GEOMATE Company today released GrafiCalc™ family of software that enables users to conceptualize, analyze, and solve a wide range of mechanical design and engineering challenges with unprecedented ease, speed, and accuracy before committing to detailed design in CAD.
That is possible because GrafiCalc enables users to simply point-and-click to associate geometry and “smart” calculations in the same worksheet to capture the functional intents of the design challenge. Users can then vary parameters in the worksheet to ask and receive instantaneous engineering decision-support information and optimal solution in real time.
GrafiCalc can be used standalone as well in conjunction with Microsoft Office and all popular CAD applications on any computer running Windows Vista, XP, Windows 7, or Windows 8.
GrafiCalc is available in two versions to match needs:
GrafiCalc Elements 7.0 combines the disciplines of sketching and calculating in a single application that enables users to "sketch & solve" design challenges while making informed decisions.
GrafiCalc 7.0 includes all capabilities of GrafiCalc Elements plus motion simulation, Goalseek, transient data collection, programmed calculations, and statistical tolerance analysis facilities.
Solution models created in GrafiCalc 7.0 can be viewed and manipulated in GrafiCalc Elements 7.0 allowing users to manage, reuse and share validated intellectual property with all members of the design group.
“Decisions made in the early stages of product development have the most impact on the final cost and performance of any product,” said Shyamal Roy, founder of GEOMATE Company. “With GrafiCalc, users can significantly minimize costly "build-test-fix" cycles leading to faster time to market with higher-quality products.”
