Simpleware signs up new reseller in Portugal and Spain

Simpleware Ltd., the world leader in image-based meshing software, has signed a reseller agreement with Norcam, experts in the areas of Industrial Design, CAD/CAM/CAE and 3DP, to resell Simpleware software in Portugal and Spain.

Simpleware develops world-leading mesh generation software for the conversion of 3D scan data into high-quality computational models for FEA, CFD, CAD and Rapid Prototyping. Unlike other approaches, Simpleware provides complete software solutions from importing 3D images through to direct export to commer-cial FEA and CFD solvers including: Abaqus, Ansys, Comsol, Fluent, I-deas, LS-Dyna, MSC.Patran Neutral, and STL.

"Norcam has already been successfully distributing Simpleware's ScanIP software as part of Delcam's Power Solution range of products", says Rajab Said, Business Development Manager of Simpleware. "We are pleased that Norcam now resells our complete suite of software products in Portugal and Spain".

"The ability to create multiphysics models from MRI and CT data is something that many of our biomed and bioengineering users have demanded", said Ed Fontes, VP of Applications at COMSOL. "This new cooperation with Simpleware places COMSOL Multiphysics on the leading edge of biomedical and bioengineering modelling, design, and simulation".

With Simpleware, users can produce better models in a fraction of the time taken with alternative software. Other important benefits of using Simpleware software include:

• Export meshes directly to leading FE and CFD solvers
• Integrate and position CAD models into image data
• Produce meshes of excellent quality
• Mesh multiple structures and define contact surfaces between them
• Assign continuous material properties throughout a mesh
• Easy to learn and operate
• Backed by full technical support from experienced engineers

About Simpleware
Simpleware provides and develops world-leading mesh generation software for the conversion of 3D scan data (e.g. MRI, CT, MicroCT, etc.) into high-quality computer models used for CAD, Finite Element simulation, and Rapid Prototyping. The ease and unprecedented accuracy with which models can be generated have opened up computational analysis (FEA and CFD) and rapid prototyping to a variety of research fields, including: Industrial Reverse Engineering, Implant Design and other Biomedical Engineering fields, Materials Research, Palaeontology, Forensics, and Biomimicry. Simpleware provides what is effectively a 3D photocopier: three-dimensional replicas can be generated automatically based on scans. In parallel, computer simulations can be used to assess the suitability or performance of objects in operation. Unlike other approaches, Simpleware provides a complete software solution, and enables users to produce models in a fraction of the time taken with alternative software.
