Design software takes on finite element analysis
The upcoming Alibre Design Professional application will include technology for finite element analysis (FEA) from Algor.
In the first days since the program was announced, hundreds of Penn State students and faculty have downloaded Alibre Design.
The program is possible through a software grant made by Alibre in March 2002.
Last year's grant enabled Penn State and the international Prestige consortium of engineering schools to use Alibre Design in 3D design and online collaboration projects by student teams.
"We are pleased to bring the powerful, mid-range, 3D CAD of Alibre Design now to the entire Penn State community - even for use on their personal computers at home", said Richard Devon, Associate Professor of Engineering Design.
"After using Alibre Design in the Prestige consortium over the past year, we've seen how easy it is to learn and use.
Our students' educations will benefit from this convenient access to advanced 3D parametric solid modelling".
"We appreciate Penn State's choice of Alibre Design to serve its students and faculty", said Greg Milliken, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Alibre.
"Penn State's programme is a great example of Alibre's commitment to engineering education.
Our objective is to make it possible for every student to become proficient with state-of-the-art 3D design technology.
As students move out into industry, they'll not only have valuable 3D CAD experience, they'll also be familiar with a product that is accessible by everyone - no matter what career path they choose or size of company they join".
