Bangalore, April 12, 2006: Cranes Software International Limited (CSIL), a leading provider
of specialized scientific software products & services today announced the launch of NISA V
14.0 – the latest version of its industry leading FEA package ‘NISA’. The new release now
comes with over 30 new features that offers major upgrade in performance, ease of use and
graphing capabilities. The Company also launched a completely enhanced version of their
Civil Engineering package – ‘NISA Civil’ - for the international market. The new release will
now be available through the Company’s international direct offices and distribution network.
NISA is one of the most comprehensive engineering analysis suites available globally to
address the Automotive, Aerospace, Energy & Power, Civil, Electronics and Sporting Goods
industries.
Commenting on this occasion Dr. Ramdass, Vice President, NISA Product development said,
“NISA V14 will satisfy the long standing needs of key customers, especially in the energy &
power industry. The major highlights of V14 are the improved rendering of objects in the
pre/post processor and the overall improved usability of NISA with the addition of many useful
features. The Civil engineering module has also undergone significant enhancements with new
features. We have also improved the existing codes of practice and added specific AISC,
ASME & IS codes in NISA for the first time. Piping design as per ASME is one of the
highlights of this enhancement. The software has been repackaged for easier and robust
installation on the current windows platforms.’’
The important advances in the new release include:
- Computation of ‘missing mass correction’ during dynamic analysis for better seismic
designs
- The enhancement of ‘Code-checking’ functionality in DISPLAY III for 3D beam element
as per AISC (America Institute of Steel Construction) and ASME (American Society of
Mechanical Engineers)
- ‘Stress-linearization’ of 3D solid elements in DISPLAY III to conform to codes of
practice
- The use of OpenGL in DISPLAY IV for a higher level of 3D graphics. Also, the graph
utility for results presentation has been enhanced substantially
- A more user-friendly with a considerably enhanced GUI for pre-processing in ENDUREthe
fatigue & fracture mechanics module of NISA
- Design of steel structures as per the American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
codes
- Pipe design as per the American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME) NB, NC and
ND codes
- The ‘Design Interrogation’ feature in NISA-Civil, which allows users to click on any part
of a structural model to view detailed design information on the fly
- Design of earthquake resistant structures as per the Indian standard IS: 1893-2002
- A simple and fast method for generating ‘foundation springs’ in structural models
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Asif Khader, CEO & MD, Cranes Software said, “The
successful development of NISA V14 is proof of Cranes Software’s product development
capability and our in-depth knowledge of CAE (Computer Aided Engineering). The new
version was developed based on customer feed back and incorporating the latest techniques
which enabled us to enhance key features of NISA. This also proves our continued
commitment to consistently enhance our existing product portfolio to provide best in class
solutions and continued support to esteemed customers globally through continued thrust on
product enhancements”.
