Noran Engineering Partners with SolidWorks Corp. on Modeler for New Nastran FEA Software; Simulation Software Will Be CAD Independent.WESTMINSTER, Calif. -- Noran Engineering Inc. (NEi), a leading developer and global supplier of Nastran finite element analysis Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computer simulation technique used in engineering analysis. It uses a numerical technique called the finite element method (FEM). There are many finite element software packages, both free and proprietary. (FEA (Finite Element Analysis) A mathematical technique for analyzing stress, which breaks down a physical structure into substructures called "finite elements." The finite elements and their interrelationships are converted into equation form and solved mathematically. ) software, announced that it has reached a licensing agreement with SolidWorks Corp. for the use of its solid modeling engine. The modeling engine will underlie a CAD-neutral, Nastran engineering analysis and simulation software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. product called NEi FEA that is created specifically for individual design engineers who require Nastran-based FEA. The significance of the NEi FEA software product is the pairing of an easy-to-use, highly successful, CAD-independent modeler with widely used Nastran FEA solvers which are valued for their speed, accuracy, and industry-tested solutions for structural, thermal, and dynamic engineering problems. The combination of a SolidWorks geometry engine and Nastran is a first in the industry and extends the market for professional-level Nastran FEA software to smaller business entities and individuals. Dave Weinberg, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Noran Engineering, remarked on the agreement: "SolidWorks is well known for developing an extremely easy-to-use, yet powerful geometry engine. Our extension of this technology in the form of an FEA modeler and coupling it with Nastran solvers will break new ground in the industry."

The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and business development manager for SolidWorks, offered, "We are delighted to see the innovative efforts of Noran Engineering extending our geometry technology into other sectors of the design engineering community."
