Darren is one of our virtual team members. Most of his work is done right out of his home. The tools he uses are the HP50g Scientific and Graphing Calculators and Professional-grade Lenovo C20 and D20 ThinkStations computers. They are loaded with the finest engineering and analysis software on the planet! With super powerful Lenovo ThinkStations he is able to run the CFD Solutions necessary to analyze the transonic shock waves being created around the North American Eagle™.

The software he uses is Dassault Systèmes CATIA®, Pointwise CFD Meshing Software, Metacomp's CFD++ as the flow solver and finally puts it in a graphical form using CEI EnSight Gold visualization software.

For precise manipulation of models, Darren uses 3Dconnexion 3D mouse. It is compatible with all of our engineering software tools.
