PVM Corporation and Spatial Announce ACIS-Enabled FEVA; Spatials New OEM Partner Program Promotes Success for Small, Innovative Companies.Business Editors, Technology Writers BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2001 Spatial Corp Spatial Corporation was founded in 1986, and had one main product: ACIS, the first commercially available 3D modeling kernel. Through subsequent years, Spatial added products to its portfolio that enabled ISVs mostly in the CAD/CAM industries, to build applications. ., a market-leading provider of world-class 3D software components, and PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) Software that enables multiple Unix and Windows NT/2000 computers to function as one large, parallel machine. It is used to solve scientific, industrial and medical problems around the world. For information, visit www.epm.ornl.gov/pvm. , a developer of 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 today the release of ACIS-enabled Finite Element See FEA. Visual Analysis (FEVA FEVA Federación del Voleibol Argentino FEVA Federation of East Village Artists (New York) FEVA Fort Eustis, Virginia ), a powerful suite of applications that represent the first general-purpose, solid model-based finite element application available. The pairing of solid modeling and finite element analysis technologies drastically reduces model creation time for the purpose of FEA, and transforms this specialized analytical function into a user-friendly application that can be operated directly by the model designers. The release of ACIS-enabled FEVA is a direct result of Spatials new OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. 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 Partner Program which licenses its state-of-the-art 3D geometric modeling technology under a business model that favors all companies, from small, innovative start-ups to large, established software developers. Although PVM is a small start-up, its founder and 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. , Pedro V. Marcal, pioneered the development and application of nonlinear Finite Element Analysis as the founder of MARC Analysis Research Corporation. His new venture, PVM, is an excellent example of how new innovative companies can benefit from Spatials policy of licensing its technology on a fair and impartial basis. Ultimately, the end users derive the greatest benefit, due to the ever-increasing number of broad-based, modern ACIS-enabled applications. The expanded access Expanded access refers to the inclusion of patients in a clinical trial for a new therapeutic treatment or chemical entity, where those patients would not satisfy the enrolment criteria for the scientific study in progress. to Spatials superior 3D geometric modeling and translation technology has enabled us to break new ground in the area of FEA, said Pedro Marcal, CEO, PVM. Spatials commitment to quality and reliability in their 3D modeling component solutions, coupled with their dedication to serving customer needs, has given us the opportunity to focus on our core competency A core competency is something that a firm can do well and that meets the following three conditions specified by Hamel and Prahalad (1990):
Spatials OEM Partner Program is a model of success with its growing contribution to the expansion of the 3D marketplace, said Todd Reade, Western Region Sales Director, Spatial. We value our partnerships with companies like PVM for their innovative software development that broadens the spectrum of ACIS-enabled applications available to end users. Through our dedicated focus on sharing our customers' success, we continue to expand our large customer base and open the door for all companies, large and small, to integrate advanced ACIS 3D geometric modeling into their applications. About FEVA The FEVA System is composed of five modules: VisiSage, a mesh generator; SageView, a pre-processing and post-processing finite element system; SAGE FEA, consisting of SageLinear, a general thermal/stress linear code for designers and general analysis; and SageNonlinear, an advanced multiphysics thermal/elastro-plastic/incompressible/contact/impact solver for advanced nonlinear analysis; SageCFD, a modern Least-Squares based fluid dynamic solver that provides mathematically guaranteed convergence flow simulation ability; and, SageEM, also based on the newly formulated Least-Squares electromagnetic solver without any spurious modes as found in many other EM codes. The programs are implemented to run on a PC computer, under all Windows operating systems. About PVM PVM Corp. is a virtual FEA software developer formed through an alliance of experienced FEA developers and FE consultants such as MicroPro, Aegis Inc., Ensoft Inc., and Adtech.
