Composites Analysis

---

NEi Nastran's superior composite capabilities help designers avoid blade cracking, a common source of failure in wind turbines.

NEi Software, Inc. has Finite Element Analysis (FEA) composites analysis software tools that allow composite product and design engineers to examine the structural, dynamic, and thermal aspects of their designs with detailed graphical visualization of data and results. The insight gained by such analysis allows designers to easily try alternate approaches, optimize their designs, improve quality, reduce design cycle time, and save time and money on prototypes and first articles.

NEi Nastran's value has been proven by engineers in a wide variety of industries including aerospace, military, automotive, maritime, sports, and consumer products. Formula 1 race cars, America's Cup yachts, Tour de France bicycles and entrepreneurial commercial spacecraft are just a few examples of highly advanced projects that rely on NEi Nastran.
