Software teaches finite element analysis
Finite Element Analysis software to enable students to learn modern techniques of marine vehicle design and analysis.
The US Naval Academy, Annapolis, USA has selected Noran Engineering's NEi Nastran Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software for use in its accredited degree programme to train officers in Naval Architecture The Academy's curriculum covers many different types of ships, boats, and vehicles that operate on, above, or under water and involves the analysis and simulation of hull shapes, stability, structure, arrangement, survivability, maneuverability, and seaworthiness

The objective is to have students learn modern techniques of marine vehicle design and analysis.
Noran Engineering's NEi Nastran has a solid presence in the US Naval community offering highly specialized capabilities to Navy contractors such as the ability to simulate the response of ship components to shock loads like mine, torpedo, depth charge or missile detonation.
Other important attributes of the software include full NAVSEA compliance, full integration of DDAM (the US Navy's Dynamic Design Analysis Method, DDAM, used to validate ship borne shock sensitive equipment) into the core NEi Nastran solution for high productivity, and security features for the handling of classified data.
In addition, Noran Engineering has demonstrated its responsiveness to maritime issues by winning a US Navy funded Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) project on applying FEA to the handling of components in ship construction.
Beyond the US Navy, Noran Engineering's software extends to the global marine engineering community covering the full breath of industry from defense projects and commercial vessels to luxury pleasure craft and high profile racing like the America's Cup and Volvo Ocean racing series.
