• to analyse, visualise and communicate, throughout the enterprise, multi-physics and large-scaled CAE datasets.
  

The Software solutions proposed by Distene are:

• MeshGems: MeshGems is a robust and industrial library of meshing software components to generate / optimize / adapt unstructured meshes. It is a reference technology on the market because of its speed, quality and robustness at an industrial level. MeshGems components are today integrated by most CAD/CAE vendors of the market in their products (ABAQUS, AUTODESK, ANSYS, PTC, DASSAULT SYSTEMES, MSC.Software, SAMTECH, UGS,...)
• EnSight: EnSight provides its users with an efficient solution to post-process very large numerical multi-physics datasets produced by growing industrial needs. It is also a powerful tool to communicate analysis results throughout the enterprise, in order to make the decision making process easier.
  
  

Funded by a group of experienced professionals from the IT industry, our Company specialises in the production of high performance Server and Workstations both for top level professional use and for small and large businesses, as well as academic and educational.
At E4, we not only offer the most up to date and unique working solutions, we also provide an efficient before and after sales service. Our on / off line system configurator guarantees clients the best hardware available and E4 is proud to have become one of the top players in its sector.
E4 solutions are focused on the four aspects of Specialised Workstations, Server, Multiprocessor Servers for industrial solutions, HPC/HA clusters and PC systems for dedicated office use.
Particularly worthy of note is our new generation of Server, the Itanium2, a double or quadruple processor based on 64 bit technology with Intel/ Itanium2, with frequencies at 1.3GHz, 1.4GHz and 1.5GHz, giving respectively 3MB, 4MB and 2MB third level integrated cache.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing SCAI conducts research in the field of computer simulations for product and process development, and is a prominent corporate partner in the industrial and science sectors. SCAI has its role and position as an independent and neutral developer of advanced software solutions. Following this baseline SCAI is open for co-operations with interested software partners in the arena of CAE software. One of our core topics is multi-physics simulation, i.e. the concurrent computation of different physical processes. Examples for such coupled simulations are fluid-structure-interactions, thermal transfer and radiation coupling, magneto-hydro-dynamics applications, or fluid-electro-interactions. These bidirectional coupled solutions can be accomplished by file-based mapping solutions (e.g in metal forming, FSI), or extending your own CAE solutions by advanced numerical mapping algorithms.

Engineers rely on computer modelling and simulation methods as vital components of the product development process. As these methods develop at an ever-increasing pace, the need for an independent, international authority on the use of this technology has never been more apparent. NAFEMS is the only worldwide independent association dedicated to this technology.

Companies from numerous industries and every part of the globe have invested heavily in engineering technologies such as FEA and CFD. But how do they ensure they get the best return from their investment? How do they develop and enhance their capabilities? How do they use the technology in the most effective way?

NAFEMS is uniquely placed to help answer these questions.

NAFEMS is an association of more than 900 companies from across the globe. Members range from major corporations such as Boeing, NASA and Ferrari through to mid-sized organizations, academic institutions and small engineering consultancies.

If you work with simulation, you should be part of NAFEMS.

Grapheur
Grapheur is a business intelligent tool for data mining and visualization with a flexible software architecture for interactive multi-objective optimization and a user interface for visualizing the results, facilitating the solution analysis and decision making process; it embeds several features that make it ideal for business analysts and decisions makers. The novelty of the visualization approach consists of using recent online graph drawing techniques, with sampling and mental map preserving schemes.
Graphuer architecture is moreover highly modular, it allows for problem-specific extensions, and it is applicable as a post-processing tool for all optimization schemes producing a number of different potential solutions. When the architecture is tightly coupled to a specific problem-solving or optimization method, effective interactive schemes where the final decision maker is in the loop can be developed.
