Software development has been a major spin-off of the LCA project. A number of Application Softwares have been developed, which have various
no-aeronautical applications as well. Graphical Interactive Three dimensional Applications (GITA) is a user friendly Computer Aided Design (CAD) package, well suited for mechanical, automobile, aeronautical and tool design industries.
Finite Element Structural Synthesis Expert (FINESSE) is a general purpose finite element analysis package. FINEGRAF is a powerful interactive graphics pre and post processor, making complex finite element modelling and results interpretation much easier. AUTOLAY is a
software system for design, analysis and manufacture of composites. It reduces design cycle time of high quality, robust laminated composite components. PRANA is a Virtual Reality software tool which gives life to CAD and engineering analyses data in the virtual world.
Numerous packages for Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM) and Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) codes for aerodynamic analyses have also been developed. |
