NEi, DRS Partner for Shipbuilding Analysis
 WESTMINSTER, CA,
Oct 20,
2009 - NEi Software has joined forces with DRS, the worldwide distributors
of MAESTRO in order to better serve the shipbuilding industry by
streamlining the process of global/local hull analysis. MAESTRO has long
been known as a standard for global full ship structural Finite Element
Analysis (FEA), while NEi Software is used extensively for local (or
fine-mesh) analysis by both the defense and commercial segments of the
shipbuilding industry. These two technologies are now used to execute a
bi-directional coupling that facilitates the iterative global/local analysis
process. By means of this partnership, the naval architect can perform
MAESTRO global analysis and pass those results to NEi Nastran for
detailed/local analysis. Additionally, local analyses, done completely in
NEi Nastran, can be merged with MAESTRO models in order to expedite the
process. Customers can expect more efficient designs and analyses of their
structural design, significantly reducing development time costs.
NEi is now an authorized reseller of MAESTRO in the USA. The combined
capabilities of MAESTRO and NEi Nastran will be exhibited at SAVIAC's
80th
Shock & Vibration Symposium in San Diego, October 25-29.
About DRS
DRS is the exclusive master-distributor and developer of MAESTRO, a
design tool specifically tailored to suit naval architects and their global
Finite Element Analysis and limit-state (failure mode) evaluation needs.
MAESTRO combines rapid coarse-mesh structural modeling, ship-based loading,
Finite Element Analysis, limit-state evaluation, and post-processing, all in
a single Windows-based graphical user interface. MAESTRO is wholly-owned by
Optimum Design, Inc.
About NEi Software
In addition to being a distributor of MAESTRO in the United States for
DRS, NEi Software provides a full range of industry-proven analysis and
simulation solutions for the shipbuilding industry, including surface
contact, DDAM, linear and nonlinear analyses, 64-bit capability, full-ship
analysis, Automated Edge Contact Generation (AECG), Automated Surface
Contact Generation (ASCG), and compatibility to CFD for Fluid Structure
Interaction (FSI). NEi Software applications have been customized to enable
shipbuilding customers to confidently evaluate designs, explore options,
optimize performance, increase reliability, and manage project risk. For
