NEi Software Presents New Nastran Modal Analysis Tools at Shock and Vibration Symposium

WESTMINSTER, CA, Oct 23 (MARKET WIRE) --
NEi Software, a global leader in the development of Nastran finite
element analysis (FEA) and engineering simulation software, will
participate in the Shock and Vibration Information Analysis Center's
(SAVIAC) 79th Shock and Vibration Symposium October 26-30 in Orlando, FL.
NEi Software will present a technical paper on "Modal Selection Technique
for Component Mode Synthesis," an enhanced methodology for performing
dynamic analysis of very large FEA models measured in multi million
degrees of freedom. In addition, NEi Software will conduct several
tutorials on new features in its simulation software. The NEi Nastran
Nonlinear course will address proper techniques for analyzing models with
nonlinear geometry, materials, and elements. Software technology will be
demonstrated that enhances nonlinear analysis in Nastran making it faster,
easier, and closer to real world phenomena like true surface-to-surface
contact and automated contact generation tools. The NEi Composites
tutorial will demonstrate Progressive Ply Failure Analysis (PPFA(TM)), an
NEi Software tool that examines the residual strength after first ply
failure in a laminate structure which allows engineers to mitigate
catastrophic failure modes in parts optimized for strength-to-weight
criteria. A comprehensive session on the Dynamic Design Analysis Method
(DDAM) will explain the steps in determining the dynamic response of a
structure to shock loading. Utilizing NEi Nastran's DDAM, users determine
the effects of underwater explosions from sources like depth charges,
mines, missiles, and torpedoes.

SAVIAC's annual Shock and Vibration Symposium is the leading forum for the
structural dynamics and vibration community to present and discuss new
developments and on-going research. The Symposium includes both classified
and unclassified sessions. The classified sessions allow critical
technology and classified research to be presented in closed forums of
cleared US Government and government-contractor researchers. Topics
covered at the symposium include: shock testing, weapons effects, air
blast, ground shock, water shock, cratering, penetration, shock physics,
earthquake engineering, structural dynamics, shock and vibration
instrumentation, and experiment techniques. Over 200 technical papers are
typically presented. Panel discussions address topics such as new
software developments and accelerometer isolation problems. Tutorials
provide up-to-date technology overviews by leading specialists.

About NEi Software

NEi Software is a global leader in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and
mechanical engineering simulation software for virtual testing. The core
product, NEi Nastran, works with all major pre and post processors
including Femap(R) by Siemens PLM and in house brands NEiFusion(TM) and
NeiWorks(TM) for SolidWorks(R). NEi Software allows engineers to
virtually test air, land, and maritime vehicles and structures for
stress, deformation, vibration modes, heat transfer, and other technical
parameters at the design stage before fabrication promoting innovation,
improving quality, and saving time, money, and resources in re-designs,
prototypes, and test.
