Cranes Software Announces the Release of NISA Version 14.0

Cranes Software International Limited has announced the launch of NISA V 14.0 - the latest version of its FEA package 'NISA'. The new release now comes with over 30 new features that offers major upgrade in performance, ease of use and graphing capabilities. The Company also launched a completely enhanced version of their Civil Engineering package - 'NISA Civil' - for the international market. The new release will now be available through the Company's international direct offices and distribution network.
The important advances in the new release include:
- Computation of 'missing mass correction' during dynamic analysis for better seismic designs
- The enhancement of 'Code-checking' functionality in DISPLAY III for 3D beam element as per AISC (America Institute of Steel Construction) and ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers)
- 'Stress-linearization' of 3D solid elements in DISPLAY III to conform to codes of practice
- The use of OpenGL in DISPLAY IV for a higher level of 3D graphics. Also, the graph utility for results presentation has been enhanced substantially
- A more user-friendly with a considerably enhanced GUI for pre-processing in ENDURE-the fatigue & fracture mechanics module of NISA
- Design of steel structures as per the American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME) codes
- Pipe design as per the American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME) NB, NC and ND codes
- The 'Design Interrogation' feature in NISA-Civil, which allows users to click on any part of a structural model to view detailed design information on the fly
- Design of earthquake resistant structures as per the Indian standard IS: 1893-2002
- A simple and fast method for generating 'foundation springs' in structural models

Over 65 highly skilled Cranes Software scientists, technology architects and software engineers were engaged in the development of NISA V14. They work closely with our global customers to provide solutions in the areas of Stress Analysis, Seismic Analysis, Vibration Analysis, Composite Material Analysis, Motion & Linkage Analysis, Fatigue Analysis, Thermal Analysis, PCB Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Electromagnetic Analysis and Civil Structure Analysis.
