ATLANTA, GA. - Monday, September 10, 2001 - Synaps, Inc. today unveiled Epogy, software and services for Computer-aided Exploration (CAEx), built on the framework of its popular Pointer?
design automation application. CAEx is an automated engineering design and decision-making process that advances the "promise" of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) by coupling commercial and in-house CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) into a single application, and advancing
capabilities to include real design optimization. CAEx and Epogy enable teams of engineers to work better and faster.
World-class companies like Daimler Chrysler, Bombardier Aerospace, Textron, Lockheed Martin, and Sandia Laboratories, in addition to research institutes and universities around the world, use the Epogy CAEx framework to improve the design process. In fact, many companies have recognized that CAEx provides a clear path to Six Sigma quality processes in the areas of research, design and development.
Alex Van der Velden, President of Synaps, Inc., said: "Today, Six Sigma may affect the tactical activities of engineering, but the approach is not inline with its objectives. CAEx brings the design engineering process inline with the objectives of Six Sigma, which are to deploy a process to deliver breakthrough improvement. CAEx with Epogy improves Sigma levels and provides two orders of magnitude gain in both speed and the quality of the design process.
Epogy delivers a significant improvement in design speed and quality."
Epogy includes the
Pointer framework, and these new enhancements:
A new graphical user interface that provides centralized project control through a tree-hierarchy view, simplifying navigation through complex applications.
An improved method tool suite. In addition to the best-in-class Pointer optimization engine, Epogy?s new algorithms are designed to improve the exploration process. These include DOE methods, automatic response surface generation, Monte-Carlo simulation capability, and various specialty optimizers.
A new application-programming interface (API). The Epogy API allows users to quickly and easily couple their own design methods to Epogy.
Enhanced analysis automation capabilities. Coupling codes to Epogy have been simplified though improved input and output file templates, use of mathematical expressions in file templates, and sub-process branching.
Improved graphical visualization . Monitoring the design exploration process is enhanced with better visualization of engineering data. X/Y plots of analysis output can be stored at each stage of the design process for review.
