Bangalore, Feb 14 (UNI) Cranes Software International Ltd, the city-based Global Scientific and Engineering Software Products and Solutions Company, today announced that it has concluded an agreement with Engineering Technology Associates (ETA) of the USA to distribute and support ETA's DYNAFORM and VPG products across India.

Cranes would hold a series of workshops and product demonstrations to increase the awareness and educate the user base of eta/DYNAFORM and eta/VPG. eta/DYNAFORM was a set of tools which enabled die design engineers to evaluate the performance of stamping dies prior to physical prototype stamping dies. The eta/VPG was a suite of tools used in the development of finite element models, a company release here said today.

Cranes Executive Vice-President Pradeep Kumar said ''our association with ETA will enhance our product portfolio, especially for the transportation industry. VPG in combination with LS-DYNA will help our customers handle explicit dynamic analysis problems like crash, impact, safety and drop tests which are of critical importance in today's transportation and consumer electronics industry. They will complement Cranes' general-purpose FEA software tools, NISA. With Dynaform, Cranes will enter the manufacturing sector with a world-class metal forming solution especially addressing die and stamping analyses needs. This strategic alliance, with synergies in products, services and customer profiles will better serve our clients with greater product breadth and depth.'' UNI
