NEi Software has released NEi Fusion 2.0, a combination of Nastran FEA solvers and a 3D modeler powered by SolidWorks. The NEi Fusion 2.0 upgrade adds several types of advanced modal and heat transfer analyses, new element types, new load capabilities, and support for hyperelastic and orthotropic composite materials.

NEi Fusion is used by product development professionals such as CAD designers and product engineers to compress design time, cut prototyping and testing costs, and improve quality. The product may also interest FE analysts who like the option of a pre-post tool with a 3D CAD orientation and CAD/FEA model associatively, and consultants who need a Nastran solution in their simulation software portfolio. 

The new NEi Fusion release provides an alternative to “In-CAD” FEA offerings in the designer/product engineer segment of the simulation software market. NEi Fusion offers these users a combination of: a 3D CAD environment for model creation,  FEA capabilities, automated impact analysis, and a future growth path to analyst-level simulation if needed via the Nastran solver platform.
