Laramie, WY —July 1, 2010 —Firehole Technologies, Inc. (www.firehole.com), a leader in the development of analysis software for composite materials, announced a partnership with engineering and management solutions provider Saratech Inc. (www.saratechinc.com) to market and sell Firehole’s Helius™ line of software tools.
Saratech provides, among other things, analysis and simulation tools and services for engineering companies across a wide range of industries including aerospace, energy, oil & gas, ship building and automotive. In addition to distributing the Helius product line, Firehole and Saratech plan a joint development of Firehole’s Helius:MCT for Siemens’ FEMAP® pre- and post-processor for computer aided engineering (CAE). Helius:MCT is an add-on for commercial CAE packages that delivers state-of-the-art, multi-scale modeling capability for unidirectional and woven fiber-reinforced composite materials.
”The use of composites in product development and manufacturing has increased exponentially in the last few decades. The current CAD CAM tools by themselves are inadequate to address the needs of companies working with composite materials,” said Saeed Paydarfar, CEO of Saratech. “Our partnership with Firehole Technologies allows Saratech to provide customers with advanced composites technology that will improve their products, reduce development costs and shorten time-to-market.”
“As the use of composite materials continues to grow, so too does the need for advanced analysis capabilities. We believe Saratech’s industry expertise and commitment to innovation will be valuable in promoting our composite analysis solutions and extending Helius:MCT to FEMAP users,” said Firehole CEO Jerad Stack.
