GEOMATE Releases Mechanical Engineering Decision-Support Software

San Jose, CA. September 21, 2005. GEOMATE Company announces release of GrafiCalc AT (advanced technology) software that combines the disciplines of sketching, calculations, analysis, and optimization in a single application. GrafiCalc AT is positioned to assist engineers with their decision-making process in the pre-modeling stages of design for finalizing requirements, evaluating design concepts, optimizing geometry, and choosing efficient manufacturing methods before committing to more expensive design steps.

GrafiCalc AT incorporates following industry-first capabilities that can help users to significantly reduce engineering time:

� Automated geometry-dependent calculations

� Automated backsolving facility to meet stated shape, position, and fit design goals

� Automated mechanism behavior simulation

� Automated motion envelope creation and analysis

� Automated transient design data collection for analysis and reporting

� On-demand Monte Carlo statistical analysis

� On-demand programmable geometrical calculator

With GrafiCalc AT, users can freely associate geometry, dimensions, and calculations to capture a design�s functional purpose within one flexible intent model. Then they can interactively substitute input as well as output parameters to ask and receive instantaneous decision-support information and solutions. GrafiCalc AT delivers unprecedented value in the early stages of design when users have minimum information and maximum questions while conflicts are easier to detect and less expensive to fix. GrafiCalc AT virtually eliminates �close enough� approach to design engineering while rescuing users from expensive �build-test-fix� paradigm currently plaguing the industry.

GrafiCalc AT is Windows standard 32-bit self-contained application that can be used completely standalone as well as in conjunction with all popular CAD and solid modeling applications.
