Composide has recently released the commercial version of its web based composites design engineering solution.

“The features enable composites designers to unleash their creativity and develop innovative composites solutions faster and more efficiently, whilst improving quality,” Composide said.

“Composites designers can now access the full suite of functionality that includes powerful design modules providing freedom for the design of composite applications,” Composide co-founder, Julien Sellier said.

In addition to functions such as Projectspace, Laminaspace, Sectionspace and Fespace available in the trial version, the commercial release includes dedicated design engineering module Yachtscant.

It also enables integration with third party tools such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and CAD.

Composide said the version features a powerful blend of analytical and numerical methods tools that enable users to create a wide range of strength and feasibility predictions for composites industry design challenges.

“Composide brings composites engineering software into the mainstream by introducing a subscription model that is based on usage, and not on site or user licences,” Julien added.

“As a result, you can have as many users as you like and only pay for what you use and has a low cost of ownership making its unique capabilities accessible to organisations of all sizes,” he explained

According another co-founder, Radek Michalik, who manages the software development, the new release includes additional modules that help to support the business case for composites solutions.

He too explained, “BoMGen is a bill of material and weight estimation generation module which is specifically aimed at composites applications.

He added, “It integrates fully with Composide’s design tools so, when you make changes to the design, the cost and weight implications are immediately reflected into the bill of materials.

“This is a unique and powerful tool that is invaluable for any business dealing with development of composite applications.”

Radek believes that a major strength is Composide’s secure web based Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model, which has been designed to facilitate greater flexibility, integration and collaboration.

Composide features innovative agile design workflows and, being browser based, it means that the software can be securely accessed from anywhere.

The commercial version is available on a range of accessible subscription models and as a web based solution, Composide can be rapidly deployed and requires minimal IT resources. (AR)
