ACCOMPLISHMENTS
    • Developed a Design of Experiments module for enhanced computational methods
    • Scientific community recognized this product as a very useful contribution for re-designing experiments and hence reducing experiment costs
    • Company was selected by readers of R&D magazine as a winner in the 1994 R&D ELITE Awards Program
COMMERCIALIZATION
    • Experiments module is tentatively scheduled for commercial release in mid-1995 along with the introduction of CAD/Chem Version 4.2
    • Diverse customer base includes: pharmaceuticals & medical (Eli Lilly and Company), chemicals (S.C. Johnson Wax), plastics (B.F. Goodrich & Dow Chemical), paint & coatings (The Glidden Paint Company)
    • Contributed $100K to sales, and this contribution is increasing
GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE APPLICATIONS
    • The computer program which incorporates artificial intelligence can be applied to any experimental designing used in the scientific and research communities
    • This method is presently being used in Glenn Research Center’s Structural Analysis program
    • Also used at Wright Patterson AFB in the composites area
