U.S. Air Force's Arnold Engineering Development Center Selects Metaphase Series 2 Software to Replace Incumbent PDM System.Dynamics Research Corporation Dynamics Research Corporation (NASDAQ: DRCO) is a United States-based publicly held defense contractor. DRC was founded in 1955 by a small group of engineers from the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. (SDRC (company) SDRC - The company behind VGX. http://sdrc.com/. ) announced today that the U.S. Air Force's Arnold Engineering Development Center Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC), located on Arnold Air Force Base in the U.S. state of Tennessee, is the most advanced and largest complex of flight simulation test facilities in the world. (AEDC) has selected Metaphase metaphase /meta·phase/ (met´ah-faz) the second stage of cell division (mitosis or meiosis), in which the chromosomes, each consisting of two chromatids, are arranged in the equatorial plane of the spindle prior to separation. Series 2 product data management software for implementation. The order for software licenses and services is valued at more than $235,000. SDRC recognized the software portion of the revenue during the fourth quarter of 1995. AEDC conducted an intensive six-month evaluation of several software products before selecting Metaphase Series 2. The decision was based on several factors including the product's capability to lead to an enterprise data management solution, and SDRC's expertise in the aerospace industry. AEDC is implementing Metaphase Series 2 as part of its Computer Aided Engineering (application) Computer Aided Engineering - (CAE) Use of computers to help with all phases of engineering design work. Like computer aided design, but also involving the conceptual and analytical design steps. Modernization Program (CMP CMP (cytidine monophosphate): see cytosine. (1) (CMP Media LLC, Manhasset, NY, www.cmp.com) Part of United Business Media, CMP is a leading integrated media company that offers a wide variety of publications and services in the information ). Jerry Tipps, U.S. Air Force Program Manager said, "A primary driver for our selection of SDRC's product data management solution was that it meets our computer aided engineering requirements and has the potential to evolve to an enterprise solution for AEDC. We plan to tie our customers into the system. Metaphase Series 2 provides us the functionality and flexibility to improve our communication process." AEDC is the most advanced and largest complex of flight simulation test facilities in the world and is equipped with aerodynamic and propulsion wind tunnels, rocket and turbine engine test cells, space environmental chambers, arc heaters, ballistic ranges and other specialized units. Its facilities can simulate flight conditions from sea level to altitudes of more than 100,000 feet, and from subsonic sub·son·ic adj. 1. Of less than audible frequency. 2. Having a speed less than that of sound in a designated medium. subsonic Adjective velocities to those well over Mach 20.
