nCode Updates ICE-flow GlyphWorks with Python Scripting
 SHEFFIELD,
MI, Feb 20, 2008 - nCode International, a leading developer of data analysis
software, data acquisition systems and durability solutions, today announced
the latest update release of ICE-flow GlyphWorks, including the introduction
of a ‘GlyphBuilder’ capability which uses the Python scripting language.
This provides a unique way for users to add specific or proprietary methods
into an “off-the shelf” analysis framework and effectively opens up
GlyphWorks to a whole range of applications.
ICE-flow GlyphWorks data analysis software provides a graphical,
process-oriented environment that enables engineers to rapidly extract
useful information from vast amounts of measured data. Complete multi-step
analysis processes can be easily created using individual function building
blocks called ‘glyphs’. The new GlyphBuilder capability provides a Scripting
glyph which enables users to now program their own glyphs using Python.
GlyphWorks customers include many of the world’s major automotive and
aerospace manufacturers such as Ford Motor Company, PSA Peugeot Citroën and
Lockheed Martin, who require the ability to process large amounts of test
data. These companies often have proprietary analysis methods that cannot be
included in a commercial software product. This new scripting capability
enables them to cost-effectively retain the knowledge in-house while gaining
the productivity benefits of using a standard analysis tool such as
GlyphWorks. Other applications include the ability to add support for new or
unusual file formats or accessing other third party tools.
Python is a powerful object-oriented programming language that is
developed and maintained by a global community of open source developers.
The language is the basis of applications used by tens of thousands of
companies and organizations worldwide including, Google and NASA, and used
in other engineering products such as ABAQUS. Python developers can easily
take advantage of the graphical environment of GlyphWorks for visualizing
and reporting engineering data including 3D displays and mapping of GPS
data.
“The Scripting glyph in ICE-flow GlyphWorks empowers new customer
specific functionality,” says Jon Aldred, ICE-flow GlyphWorks Product
Manager. “The Scripting glyph allows GlyphWorks users to rapidly build
custom functions – and to incorporate these in GlyphWorks processes. The
scripting capability truly unleashes the power of GlyphWorks and we expect
this functionality to be rapidly adopted. Python provides an excellent
choice for scripting because of its ease of use and wide acceptance in many
industries including engineering.”
The Scripting glyph is available for Windows 32-bit platforms in the
ICE-flow 4.1 ISR3 update release and will be available across all platforms
at the next major release in Spring 2008.
