Westminster, CA, October 29, 2003 -- Noran Engineering, Inc., a world-wide leader in advanced FEA software today announced the addition of interpolation commands to its flagship FEA package NE/Nastran.

"The temperature, load, and displacement interpolation command set brings a new level of automation to NE/Nastran," said David Weinberg, CEO and President of Noran Engineering. With support for 2D and 3D models across a variety of different CAE products the tools are powerful yet remain easy to use. Load interpolation includes forces, moments, and pressure.

• Easy to setup interpolation command allows the use of dissimilar 2D or 3D models
• Allows different model types using different formats to be used together (i.e. SINDA and NASTRAN)
• Multidisciplinary simulations, interfacing different codes (i.e. wall pressure distribution computed by FLUENT used as input load for NASTRAN)
• Bi-directional feature allows viewing of interpolated data before use to verify data validity
• Accurate and precise automated data transfer with multiple data sets allowed per analysis run
• Input format is standard and easily formatted (NASTRAN)
