nCode Adds Advanced Statistical Analysis Tools to ICE-flow GlyphWorks for Auto, Aerospace Design Engineers
(Market Wire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) HOUSTON, TX and SOUTHFIELD, MI, April 15 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Today, Visual Numerics, Inc., a 37-year producer of
advanced numerical
analysis and visualization
software, announced that nCode
International, a leading developer of data analysis software, data
acquisition systems and durability solutions, has embedded the IMSL? C
Numerical Library into nCode's ICE-flow GlyphWorks
product. Many of the world's major automotive and aerospace manufacturers
rely on ICE-flow GlyphWorks data analysis software, which provides a
graphical, process-oriented environment that enables engineers to rapidly
extract useful information from vast amounts of measured data. The addition
of the IMSL C Library gives these engineers access to more sophisticated
statistical analysis tools to help them save time and budget in durability
testing and better understand product usage.
Traditionally, nCode's customers use GlyphWorks to make better design
engineering decisions for planes, trains and automobiles. Increasingly
these companies are under pressure to analyze real-world usage data, and
then apply that analysis to improve product testing and maintenance
schedules. To better meet these demands, nCode looked to Visual Numerics to
expand their product's statistical analysis capabilities. By offering
functions from the IMSL C Library as part of GlyphWorks, customers now have
access to advanced statistical tools to better understand trends in their
data, and compare data across design projects.
"Our customers constantly look for ways to improve their designs and
operations for product durability, so they need access to the best analysis
tools to make more intelligent decisions with their data," said Jon Aldred,
product manager, nCode. "We partnered with Visual Numerics because their
numerical libraries offer the most comprehensive, tested statistical
functionality available, support the major computing platforms, and were
easily embeddable into the GlyphWorks solution."
IMSL C Library's statistical algorithms include curve fitting for linear
regression, polynomial regression up to 9th order, and spline fitting. For
example, by using curve fitting, design engineers can mathematically
determine the relationship between load and strain on a component. Having
established the relationship between load and strain under controlled
loads, this information enables engineers to convert other measured
real-world strain data to loads and understand the actual loading
environment that a component experiences. GlyphWorks enables these steps to
be automated on many datasets and gigabytes of measured data into one
graphical process.
"As experts in statistical analysis technologies, Visual Numerics gives
companies like nCode access to more than 3000 complex algorithms that would
otherwise take decades to build, so they can focus on their core business
-- durability and fatigue testing," said Andy McClure, director of North
American sales, Visual Numerics. "By adding numerical libraries to
GlyphWorks, we also put the power of advanced analytical capabilities into
their customers' hands, enabling them to become much smarter about their
data in less time."
nCode also expanded their agreement with Visual Numerics to incorporate the
IMSL C Library into their GlyphBuilder product option, which uses the
Python scripting language and allows customers to add their own customized
functions or analysis based on IMSL Library capabilities into the
GlyphWorks environment. This expanded capability is scheduled to release
later this summer.
