NEi Fusion 2.0 Combines Nastran FEA, SolidWorks
 WESTMINSTER, CA, Aug 4,
2009 - NEi Software (NEi), a leading developer of Nastran finite element
analysis (FEA) software, announced the release of NEi Fusion 2.0, a unique
combination of Nastran FEA solvers and 3D modeler powered by SolidWorks. The
NEi Fusion 2.0 upgrade adds several types of advanced modal and heat
transfer analyses, new element types, new load capabilities, and support for
hyperelastic and orthotropic composite materials. A brochure describing the
new features and enhancements in detail along with a 90-second video
demonstration of the product is at
www.NEiSoftware.com/NEiFusion.
NEi Fusion Designer includes surface contact,
optimization and composites with fundamental analysis types. The advanced
version adds additional nonlinear capabilities.
NEi Fusion is used by product development professionals like CAD
Designers and Product Engineers to compress design time, cut prototyping and
testing costs, and improve quality. The product is also of interest to FE
analysts who like the option of a pre-post tool with a 3D CAD orientation
and CAD/FEA model associativity, and consultants who need a Nastran solution
in their simulation software portfolio. The new NEi Fusion release provides
an alternative to "In-CAD" FEA offerings in the designer/product engineer
segment of the simulation software market. NEi Fusion offers these users a
combination of: comprehensive 3D CAD environment for model creation,
professional level FEA capabilities with high accuracy solvers, surface
contact, optimization, composites, Automated Impact Analysis (AIA), and a
future growth path to analyst level simulation if needed via the Nastran
solver platform. All at a competitive price point to "In-CAD" FEA.
Several industry writers have review articles on NEi Software's offering
in the market for design-stage FEA. Vince Adams, co-author of the book
"Building Better Products with Finite Element Analysis," commented on the
product positioning: "NEi Fusion 2.0 has managed to fill the void between
complete yet expensive simulation systems and inexpensive yet limited tools.
Any design engineer struggling with the limitations of complex interfaces or
limited capabilities should give NEi Fusion a hard look. While the product
is based on established technologies, NEi Nastran and SolidWorks, the
combination is new enough to show exciting improvements with every release."
Al Dean, Develop3D Editor, in a recent review article on NEi Fusion noted
the role of advanced capabilities: "While the basic structural tools are
standard fare, where NEi Fusion gets interesting is in the deeper levels of
functionality. A case in point is the impact analysis tool. From a
deceptively simple input set, under the hood the system does some incredibly
complex mathematics. The composites analysis tools make something that could
be incredibly complex, much more streamlined to the process of design."
NEi Software is hosting a webinar on August 19 at 11:00 AM PDT, "Virtual
Testing at the Design Stage," to demonstrate NEi Fusion's new capabilities.
