NEi Software Celebrates 20 Years

NEi Software celebrates its 20th year of providing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) solutions.

The company’s CEO, Dave Weinberg, first began developing the software code in 1986 and founded NEi Software in 1991 with Katarina Weinberg. The solution has grown to take advantage of advancements in processing capabilities and memory, addressing its customers’ analysis needs. Customer-requested enhancements include incorporation of advanced engineering theories, advanced materials, and analysis for different stages of product design. The company offers some of the most advanced composite<http://www.nenastran.com/composites> and nonlinear algorithms<http://www.nenastran.com/nonlinear> in the industry.

“As an Aerospace Engineer, I personally spent thousands of hours building complicated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models, some taking over 3 months to complete. Today, those same models can be built and analyzed in a single day using NEi Software products,” said Dave Weinberg, CEO of NEi Software.  “At NEi Software we have always promoted a strategy that focuses on providing tools for engineers that reduce the time needed to create, mesh, run and edit models. We continue to develop solutions that take advantage of new technology and theories by maximizing the use of emerging computer hardware and technology and working with leaders in FEA research. This has allowed NEi Software to become a leader in CAE innovation including advanced composite and nonlinear analysis. We believe by working with the right partners and always striving for performance and accuracy that we will continue to be a leader in the Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) community.”

Those interested in joining the celebration can visit the 20YearsofFEA<http://www.20yearsoffea.com/> website for a timeline of NEi Software, FEA history, trivia, games, contests and a list of events. Engineers who routinely are used to reducing models to elements can now reassemble model images with our 2010 “Unlock the Vault” contest finalist image puzzles. Engineers and the media can meet NEi Software staff and enter the 20YearsofFEA contests at the following venues:
