Latest Product News From Galaxy Advanced Engineering, (GAE) Inc.

January 03, 2009

Galaxy Advanced Engineering, Inc. celebrates yet another anniversary. GAE, the only software company in the world of graphics and other specialized software that are not available from anywhere else has introduced the new Finite Element Analysis known as GAE/NASTRAN that is branched out from original version of NASA/NASTRAN. This software has its own simple post-processor that is called NASTPLT. Both software are available from Galaxy Advanced Engineering, Inc. presently. NASTRAN, the NASA Structural Analysis System, is a powerful general purpose Finite Element Analysis (FEA) program for use in computer-aided engineering. NASTRAN is a standard in the structural analysis field, providing the engineer with a wide range of modeling and analysis capabilities. Development of NASTRAN was initiated in the mid-1960's by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to provide an FEA capability for its aerospace research projects. Over the years, NASA has actively maintained and improved NASTRAN such that it remains a state-of-the-art structural analysis system. NASTRAN applications include almost every kind of structure and construction. Structural and modeling elements are provided for the specific representation of the more common types of structural building blocks including rods, beams, shear panels, plates, and shells of revolution. More general types of building blocks can be treated by combining these simple elements or by using the "general" element capability. The sub-structuring capability allows different sections of a structure to be modeled jointly after having already been modeled separately. NASTRAN permits the effects of control systems, aerodynamic transfer functions, and other nonstructural features to be incorporated into the solution of the structural problem. Among other analysis capabilities, NASTRAN can handle:

static response to concentrated and distributed loads, thermal expansion, and enforced deformations, dynamic response to transient and steady-state sinusoidal loads, and random excitation, complex Eigenvalue determination for vibration analysis, dynamic stability analysis, and elastic stability analysis.

NASTRAN also has a limited capability for the solution of nonlinear problems, including piecewise linear analysis of nonlinear static response and transient analysis of nonlinear dynamic response. Users may develop their own analysis capabilities by using the Direct Matrix Abstraction Programming (DMAP) language to direct NASTRAN in the solution of general matrix problems.

The NASTRAN NASTPLT Plotting Post Processor was developed to read NASTRAN generated NASTPLT plot files, to check the file contents for validity, and to translate the NASTPLT plot commands into appropriate calls to plotting routines for GAE-UGL plotting and graphics library system.

Galaxy Advanced Engineering, Inc. celebrates yet another anniversary. GAE, the only software company in the world of graphics recommended by by most companies around the world from defense contractor to commercial vendor and enterprises are using our graphics product which the only existing package for the migration of your legacy to present time, using CA-DISSPLA, CalComp, PLOT10, PLOT10, GKS, NASADIG as well as DIGLIB graphics. Companies like Lockheed Martin, General Atomic, US Army, Gulfstream and British Aerospace are our present clients with UGL/DISSPLA solutions offered by Galaxy Advanced Engineering, Inc.

We have recently start supporting Intel Visual Fortran (IVF) compiler under Window/PC operating system and all of our graphics products is ready for release to market demand. Please contact our sales department or go to our product page for price.

GAE has successfully launched its graphics software know as Universal Graphics Library "(UGL)" in 1992 and past two years has been accepted by Compaq to be bundled with their latest version of Visual Fortran Compiler (Version 6.1 and 6.6c) as a companion product, around the world.

UGL along with its all functionalities including CA-DISSPLA, PLOT10, PLOT88, CalComp, DIGLIB and GKS compatibility continually gets tested against new version of all the Fortran Compilers of different hardware and operating system that we support including the new release version of Compaq Visual Fortran Compiler 6.6c.

GAE no longer supports Absoft compiler due to pre-maturity of this compiler under Window/PC and not be able to support Win32Api utilities as well as so many bugs. Also based on our market study we see not much demand for this compiler so our decision is to abandon this compiler until this compiler is more powerful and will provided better GUI as well as Win32Api utilities that are provided by other compiler such as Intel Visual Fortran (IVF).

Galaxy Advanced Engineering, Inc. goes on to explain, with we are ready to shape the World of Graphics for you and help you to be very flexible with your migration in this world. UGL dedicated fixture systems and functionality for your graphics needs will allow you to have tremendous cost saving and time on recoding your pre-existing Fortran codes.

UGL is presently at version 5.0 and allows you to support more business aspects and features of CA-DISSPLA such as different calendar Axis System as well as Opening Multi Windows on your PC Monitor to allow the users to input in one screen from their key board while they can see the result of the graphics output in another one. This feature allow the total Real Time interaction with your program and plots output.

UGL allows mix and match between Fortran and C languages if need be and opens open up a new door of C or C++ programming to your graphics world.

GAE partners take pride in their work and it shows. They get graphics back to their original beauty, even if additional costs come out of their own pockets. They are happy to see their graphics; smiles and their words of approval at the sight of their display looking graphics. You can be sure that our UGL work and software is constantly recommended highly. We also offer complimentary technical support to port your code to computing platform of your choice. No wonder GAE is a business success story.

GAE is now supporting the Intel Compiler for both Window and Linux (32 and 64 bit) version

UGL is presently at version 10.0 and was released in new year (2015) with its updated manuals. In this version few more capabilities and functionality highe level subroutines were added. This version allows you to support more business aspects and features of CA-DISSPLA such as different calendar Axis System as well as Opening Multi Windows on your PC Monitor to allow the users to input in one screen from their key board while they can see the result of the graphics output in another one. This feature allow the total Real Time interaction with your program and plots output.
