Testimonial
 “Cessna Aircraft is using NEi Nastran to analyze airframe components on the Citation CJ3 and the Citation Mustang. Cessna Engineers have been very impressed with the customer service received from NEi Software. The development of Tension-Only Quad Elements eliminates redundant models and repetitive work functions, resulting in reduced analysis cycle time.”
- Gene Paulsen, Senior Engineer

“We were looking for easy and modern Nastran interface for our analysis needs. NEi Nastran met our criteria in terms of cost-effectiveness and results performance. We are very pleased by the professional technical support provided by Simulika Solutions & Consulting”
- Jim Haws, Engineering Manager
