Dave Weinberg, CEO of Noran Engineering, commented on the release, "The Pre-Post Processor is the foundation of an FEA software portfolio".
"It is the primary user environment, the conduit for all incoming data and results, and a connection to all the analysis tools".
"So Modeler selection is a critical and long term decision".
"With the V9.1 release, the NEiModeler will continue to hold the high ground in the FEA market by continuing to set the standard for professional level capabilities in a format that accommodates user sophistication levels, while maintaining its affordable price tag.".
