AnalySwift LLC (West Jordan, UT, US), provider of efficient high-fidelity modeling software for composites and other advanced materials, announced Nov. 13 that Research and Development Inc. (Loveland, CO, US) has licensed its SwiftComp software for research and development in the aerospace and angling industries.
SwiftComp is a general-purpose multiscale modeling code that enables users to perform efficient and accurate modeling of composites.
“Opterus is excited to increase the accuracy and efficiency of our high strain composite space structures and fishing rod modeling capabilities using SwiftComp,” says Dr. Thomas Murphey, president, Opterus R&D. “Opterus has debuted a range of testing and predictive software technologies, including SwiftComp.”
With a heavy background in aerospace composites, Opterus R&D specializes in deployable space structures, high strain composites and large deformation structures.
In addition to aerospace structures, Opterus R&D also focuses on the sporting goods and the angling markets. SwiftComp allows fishing rod performance to be predicted based on simple material and taper parameters. Rod strength and deflection curves under any loading conditions are also readily calculated.
