PACE Contributors

	3D Connexion Systems provides 3D navigation devices for product design, analysis, animation, modeling, and digital content creation. These devices shorten the design time and greatly reduce mouse movements. They provide a high bandwidth way of interfacing with NX and other PACE- sponsored software. 3D Connexion offers SpacePilot navigator devices to PACE Institutions globally.
	Altair Engineering provides Altair Hyperworks, an integrated suite of CAE tools for product design, featuring modeling and visualization, analysis & optimization, design process automation and manufacturing process simulation.
	ANSYS provides PACE Institutions with a suite of software solutions for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis. This software includes FLUENT, GAMBIT, FlowLab, and T-Grid - all products that support computational technology and enable the user to study the dynamics of things that flow.
	Computational Engineering International (CEI) develops, markets, and supports software for analyzing, visualizing and communicating computer-aided engineering results and scientific data. Engineers and scientists throughout the world rely on CEI to deliver the tools they need for visualizing complex datasets.
	Dimensional Control Systems (DCS) is pleased to offer PACE Institutions its 3DCS Analyst Software, a 3-D variation analysis technology for predicting assembly build variation during the engineering phases. This software, used by engineers throughout the design and manufacturing process, offers users a solution for understanding how tolerancing, assembly processing, locating schemes, and part geometry play a role n the overall quality of the final assembly.
	Gamma Technologies provides GT-Power to select PACE Institutions. This software application is used by GM Powertrain and other transportation industry leaders and their suppliers for engine simulation. It is specifically designed for both steady-state and transient simulations.
	LSTC provides LS-DYNA multi-physics simulation code to PACE Institutions globally. This software can solve a vast variety of problems, from bioprosthetic heart valve operations, to auto crash, to earthquake engineering.
	MSC Software provides a suite of software to PACE Institutions globally. MD Adams is a virtual prototyping and motion simulation software. MD Nastran, an FEA tool, provides engineers the tools they need to analyze and improve designs of everything from simple components to complex structures and systems.
	RTT is a provider of a real-time visualization solution offering great precision and accuracy, based on virtually all forms of CAD data. RTT's DeltaGen software is used by GM Design for optimum collaboration and efficiency in the design process. DeltaGen provides a link between designers and engineers, and allows for real-time multi-site design reviews.
	iSIGHT enables the rapid integration of CAE tools and technologies, and automates their execution to accelerate the evaluation of many design alternatives. The iSIGHT software enables engineers to rapidly apply: Design of Experiments (DOE), Optimization, Approximation Methods, Quality Methods (DFSS).
	Stratasys manufactures in-office/classroom 3D printers and 3D production systems. Their systems take CAD/CAM files and print them out in durable ABS plastic models, one layer at a time. Stratasys prototyping systems allow the user to have functional models built in the office/classroom in hours, rather than days. Their one-step process allows the user to test form, fit, and function of the design, making as many design iterations as desired.
	Wacom provides design tablets for industrial and concept design professionals. These products have long been an integral part of the ideation and design process in the automotive industry.
