                PARASPHERE APPLICATION SOFTWARE OVERVIEW
    
          Currently Available from Independent Software Vendors
    
    
     
         RADIOSS software from Mecalog SARL provides full-model 
    
    crash simulation analysis utilizing finite element 
    
    analysismethodology.  Particularly applicable for aerospace and 
    
    automobile development and design, RADIOSS is a general purpose 
    
    finite element solver used for non-linear dynamic analyses of 
    
    the deformation of solids and structures, as well as the 
    
    formation of metals.  It has been qualified for all types of 
    
    crash simulations and is currently running at more than 30 
    
    industrial installations. 
    				
                                 ****
     
         SAS/TM ACCESS software from CHISQ Ltd. provides the 
    
    large-scale statistical analysis capabilities of its 
    
    Table-maker integrated into the popular SAS statistical 
    
    software package. It provides very high speed statistical 
    
    database functions such as data correlation, averaging and 
    
    histogramming. 
    
    				
                                 ****
    
         BLAZE molecular biology software from IntelliGenetics Inc. 
    
    is used for large-scale sequence analysis, performs biological 
    
    (both DNA and protein) sequence similarity searching using an 
    
    optimized implementation of the Smith-Waterman sequence 
    
    comparison algorithm, the GENOME project. 
    
    			
                                 ****
    
         ELEXIR from Third Eye Software is an information retrieval 
    
    system toolkit utilizing similarity searching and Boolean 
    
    searching to access collections to information. It is used for 
    
    rapidly locating words or concepts contained in large amounts 
    
    of text in such areas as legal and financial services, wire 
    
    information services, message routing and customer support. 
    
                                 ****
    
    
               PARASPHERE APPLICATION SOFTWARE OVERVIEW
    
         Future Availability from Independent Software Vendors
    
    Parallel Libraries including MATH/LIBRARY and STAT/LIBRARY from 
    
    IMSL Inc. These statistical software libraries allow easy user 
    
    access to over 900 FORTRAN subroutines for applications in
    
    general applied mathematics, special functions, and for 
    
    analyzing and presenting statistical data in scientific and 
    
    business applications. 
    				
    				 ****
        
         C-DYNA3D from  CONDAT GmbH is software is based on a 
    
    generalized three dimensional non-linear finite element 
    
    analysis program. C-DYNA3D software is used by defense, 
    
    aerospace, automotive and chemical industries for the 
    
    development of highly engineered products using numeric 
    
    methods.  Researchers utilize this software in the areas of 
    
    structural dynamics, impact behavior and the development and 
    
    application of codes. Elexir on the DECmpp 12000 is capable 
    
    of searching eight million documents per second.
    
    				 **** 
    
         FIDAP from Fluid Dynamics International uses the 
    
    finite-element method to simulate classes of incompressible 
    
    fluid flows. The code provides a range of possible analyses, 
    
    including isothermal and non-isothermal, Newtonian and 
    
    non-Newtonian flows; turbulent flows; free, forced or mixed 
    
    convection flows; periodic, separating or recirculating 
    
    flows; swirling flows; creeping flows; flows in rotating 
    
    frames of reference; flows with a free or moving surface; and 
    
    surface tension, gradient-driven thermal flows. 
    
    				 ****     
    
         UTCHEM developed at Rice University is a program that 
    
    implements a chemical flood simulator.  The UTCHEM program helps 
    
    determine the optimal placement of the wells through injection 
    
    simulation. This is a useful tool for the oil industry, that 
    
    enhances oil recovery by the injection of chemicals (usually 
    
    steam or water/detergents) into the ground to help push the oil 
    
    out. 
    				 **** 
    
         Mathcad from MathSoft, Inc., is based on a pencil-and-paper 
    
    like 'live document interface' which allows users to write 
    
    equations in typeset notation on screen, and get calculated 
    
    results as numbers or graphics.
