SwRI Software

• 3DStress^®
  3DStress^® interactively analyzes the tendency for geological faults and fractures to slip or dilate based on a user-specified three-dimensional stress state.
  
  
• COATLIFE
  COATLIFE is a life-prediction software developed at SwRI under DOE and EPRI sponsorship, for predicting the remaining life of combustion turbine coatings in land-based gas turbine machines.  COATLIFE 4.0 is currently utilized or evaluated by a number of plant operators for assessing coating conditions during service.
  
  
• DARWIN^® 
  integrates finite element stress analysis results, fracture-mechanics-based life assessment for low-cycle fatigue, material anomaly data, probability of anomaly detection and inspection schedules to determine the probability of fracture of a rotor disk as a function of applied operating cycles. The program also indicates the regions of the disk most likely to fail, and the risk reduction associated with single and multiple inspections. This software will be enhanced to handle anomalies in cast/wrought and powder nickel disks and manufacturing and maintenance-induced surface defects in all disk materials in the near future.
  
  
• NASGRO^®
  NASGRO is an award-winning suite of fracture mechanics and fatigue crack growth analysis computer programs that perform assessments of structural life, compute stress intensity factors, and process and store fatigue crack growth properties. The previous version NASGRO 3.0 has more than 2,000 users in the space, aircraft, rotorcraft, turbine engine, petrochemical, nuclear, and ground vehicle industries in more than 40 countries. NASGRO 4.0 and 5.0 have been jointly developed by SwRI and NASA Johnson Space Center under the terms of a Space Act Agreement.
  
  
• NESSUS^®
  NESSUS is an award-winning computer program employing state-of-the-art methods for performing probabilistic analysis of structural/mechanical systems. NESSUS can be used to assess component/system reliability, to identify important random variables, to provide information for risk-based decision analysis and reliability-based optimization, and develop designs that are more cost-effective and reliable than those developed using traditional deterministic design methods.
  
  
• Olympus DISS^®
  Olympus DISS® is a web-based geographical data and information sharing system designed to search and retrieve geographic data at its source. Olympus DISS® uses established data standards, reference such as the Federal Geographic Data Committee standard, providing a flexible mechanism to build applications upon.
  
  
• Project Information Management System (PIMS)
  PIMS is an integrated web-based project management tool that allows project managers to coordinate and complete many project management activities online, using any web browser. PIMS supports many functions in individual modules, such as action item tracking, risk management, online checklists, non-conformance reporting, and document and image management.  Each of these modules can be customized to meet the needs of different projects, and one module -- the custom module -- can be designed completely by project managers to track any function. 
  
  
• RAPTOR^®
  The Rapid Automotive Performance Simulator (RAPTOR^®) is an award-winning commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) modular simulation software for configuring, assessing and optimizing system performance for any on-highway vehicle allowing engineers to model and test virtual vehicle systems.
