NEi Software is a world leader in development of Finite Element Analysis (FEA), engineering simulation, and virtual test software. The core product NEi Nastran is a powerful, industry-proven FEA solver that performs linear and nonlinear structural stress, dynamics, and heat transfer analysis. NEi Nastran works with a wide portfolio of pre- and post-processors including Femap® , in-house products NEi Fusion™ and NEi Works™, as well as options that support Nastran format. In addition, NEi’s portfolio includes products for impact, kinematics, fatigue, optimization, aeroelasticity, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with support for a full range of materials from composites to hyperelastic rubber.
NEi Software and Firehole Composites have partnered to deliver an advanced composites analysis application to users of the NEi Nastran FEA package. Helius:MCT is the core technology behind the NEi Advanced Composites package, released with NEi Nastran V10.0. This product is the first time Helius:MCT has been integrated directly within the base FEA package.

Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the Siemens Industry Automation Division, is a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software. PLM is the platform for turning more ideas into successful products because only PLM can provide the application depth and breadth needed to digitally author, validate and manage the detailed product and process data necessary to support continuous innovation.
We are the only PLM company that can provide the combined advantages of:
- Open. Our software platform is built on open standards to allow for integration between our software applications, as well as with legacy data and systems.
- Scalable. Our solutions are scalable in performance from 10 users to 10,000, and in capability from a single application to an integrated suite.
- Flexible. We are able to support the speed and complexity of change in products and processes, and we can deploy either out-of-the-box or to specifications.
- Proven. 6.7 million users with more than 63,000 customers around the world deploy our applications every day.

Firehole’s partnership with IDES, a leader in plastics material data management, was born from a common problem within the composite materials community: The lack of an easily accessible, reliable, and comprehensive composite materials database. To address this problem, IDES’s innovative data management toolset and Firehole’s composites expertise merged, resulting in the searchable online composite materials database called Prospector:Composites. Prospector:Composites provides engineers instant access to hundreds of datasheets that contain detailed material properties gathered from handbooks, journal publications, testing facilities, and manufacturers.
