MILFORD, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 1996--Structural Dynamics Research Corporation (SDRC) announced today that The Boeing Company awarded SDRC a contract change to extend the period of performance for product data management (PDM), process redesign, and related PDM consulting services through 1996.
