Testimonial


cessna“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.”
