India's Cranes Releases NISA v17 for FEA
Enhanced DISPLAY IV and CAD interoperability
 BANGALORE,
India, Sep 15, 2009 – Cranes Software announced the release of the latest
version of its leading finite element analysis software, NISA Version 17,
today. This significantly improved version offers an enhanced DISPLAY IV,
NISA’s powerful interactive graphics Pre and Post-processor. The new DISPLAY
software streamlines complex finite element modeling, analysis and results
interpretation for a better user experience. Additionally, the new DISPLAY
has improved interoperability allowing it to interface more easily with a
variety of popular CAD file formats.
 A major enhancement in DISPLAY IV is
the new advanced tetra-meshing capability, allowing users to easily create
solid mesh models with minimal effort. New context-based menus and toolbars
have been added along with functional keys for quick and easy access to all
options. Additionally, contact-element creation based on user-defined
tolerances has been added. To enable users to generate reports in HTML with
ease, report generation capabilities have been added in the Pre and
Post-processing steps.
NISA Version 17 now allows users the ability to create more complex and
detailed models by extending node and element numbers to eight digits
allowing much larger problems to be solved. The advanced NISA solvers have
also undergone significant improvements. For example, Augmented Lagrangian
formulation for surface to surface contact-element has been added. Fatigue
analysis of spot-welds is now supported in ENDURE, NISA’s fatigue and
fracture module. HEAT III, NISA’s heat transfer module is now incorporated
in EMAG, the electromagnetic module of NISA, to allow coupled
electromagnetic and heat transfer analysis. Another significant development
in NISA Version 17 is its integration with
Engineering Technology Associates’ software product eta/VPG, an advanced
FEA-based system analysis tool.
Vipul Kinariwala, Product Director, NISA Software said, “We’re absolutely
thrilled to announce the release of NISA V17. It offers over 25 major new
features; most notably are the advanced Tet meshing, advanced surface
meshing and automatic contact element creation features. NISA now supports
up to ten million nodes which facilitates solution of problems requiring
larger models. With these new capabilities NISA now ranks amongst the most
advanced FEA packages commercially available. In this version heat analysis
is coupled with electromagnetic analysis; OEM’s of transformers, motors,
alternators, etc will benefit immensely from this new capability. We are
confident V17 will go a long way in satisfying the most discerning of FE
analysts.”
