About Us

MACRO Industries, Inc., was formed in 1991.  Our goal is to develop and market robust, powerful, intuitive, and cost-effective structural analysis tools for the personal computer market.

 

Analysis Products - ( MI/NASTRAN )

Our next release will include a fast sparse solver and lanczos eigenvalue routines.

 

Future Products

Because MACRO's goal is to provide software tools beyond the core NASTRAN product, we are working on other projects to provide a complete suite of FEA tools.

Among those products are:

·        MI/FLAGRO - This product is based on NASA's FLAGRO computer program and allows the user to perform fatigue, safe-life, and crack growth analyses.

·        MI/FEM - MACRO's own pre and post processor. With the enhancements planned for the NASTRAN product, we have decided we need our own pre/post package. Development is underway on what is sure to be an improvement over current tools. Initial release is still a year away, so be patient.

·        Meshing TemplatesTM - This product represents a completely different method for automeshing compared to the current paradigm and will be an integral part of our pre/post package. Rather than using brute force, mathematical methods for meshing a part, Meshing Templates carry the CAD concept of 'features' into the FE world. Known features will have known meshes attached to them. The meshing process will be instantaneous for recognized features.

 

 

Envisioneering

This is the term MACRO has coined to describe our goal in CAE tools. It represents MACRO's vision that successful designs can be obtained by following a 'recipe' for engineering problems. The goal is to have a system in which the user can specify a global outline of a project and then have the computer, utilizing AI, fill in the details, guide the analysis based on embedded human experience, and automatically perform design verification within the design process.
