Rome: Total War is the next generation in epic strategy gaming from the critically acclaimed and award winning Total War brand. The aim of the game is to conquer, rule and manipulate the Roman Empire with the ultimate goal of being declared as the "Imperator" of Rome. Set in a time when the mighty Roman Empire emerged to conquer the known world against powerful enemies; when gladiators fought to a bloody death in the Coliseum; when Spartacus defied the might of the empire; when Hannibal led his invincible army and his war elephants across the Alps to strike fear into the very heart of Rome itself; and when Julius Caesar finally smashed the Barbarian Gauls. This was a time of brutal confrontation between civilisation and barbarism, and of civil war as the ancient world's only superpower turned on itself. A completely new Total War engine uses

NX 7 improves productivity throughout product development. With enhanced Synchronous Technology, NX delivers faster, more flexible part and assembly modeling, improved multi-CAD capability, streamlined digital simulation and more efficient manufacturing. And with new visual tools for leveraging product data, NX 7 can help you accelerate development, lower costs, and improve quality. NX Nastran is a premium computer-aided engineering (CAE) tool that major manufacturers worldwide rely on for their critical engineering computing needs to produce safe, reliable and optimized designs within increasingly shorter design cycle times. For over 30 years, Nastran has been the analysis solution of choice in almost every major industry including aerospace, defense, automotive, shipbuilding, heavy machinery, medical and consumer products – an industry standard for the computer-aided analysis of stress, vibration, structural failure/durability, heat transfer, noise/acoustics and flutter/aeroelasticity.

NX 6 can handle your most complex problems in CAD, CAM, and CAE. With NX 6 your view is better and your process is better. As a result, your products are better. NX 6 gives you the confidence that your products will work as they were intended, meet key metrics, and delight the consumer.

With ALGOR DesignCheck finite element analysis (FEA) software, you can verify your single part designs with a first-pass engineering analysis to virtually test the behavior of product designs, speed up time to market and make better, safer products at a lower cost.

Available directly from the Alibre Design Professional Tools menu as an Add-on, DesignCheck makes it easy to perform finite element modeling and analysis, evaluate results and prepare professional design reports.

ALGOR DesignCheck includes
* Direct CAD/CAE data exchange with Alibre Design for single parts
* Windows-native data input screens
* Multiple view windows
* Tree view of the model and associated data
* Real-time data checking for reasonable input
* Automatic 3D solid hybrid meshing (bricks on the model surface and tetrahedra inside) with a built-in aspect ratio check
* Intelligent, automatic, feature-based mesh refinement tools and point-and-click definition of areas where a finer mesh is desired
* Right-click application, modification and deletion of surface forces, surface constraints and FEA properties
* Static stress analysis with linear material models
