CADNexus provides solutions to leading companies and organizations worldwide, covering a variety of industries and applications.
CADNexus supports NASA in a number of initiatives and software packages. CAPRI is the preferred CAD import option for Chimera Grid Toolset. OverGrid users can directly import CAD models in a mesh-ready format (learn more about using CAPRI with Overgrid). CAPRI also provides the central infrastructure for design and analysis studies using CART3D at NASA Ames Research Center. CAPRI is used for automatic geometry processing and watertight triangulations directly from CAD, which have enabled 100s of design iterations with parametric models to be performed without any manual intervention (learn more about using CAPRI with Cart3D).
Bombardier is the world's third largest civil aircraft manufacturer covering aviation products and services for the business, regional and amphibious aircraft markets.CADNexus is collaborating with Bombardier aeronautics group to make parametric CAD more integrated and usable upfront in their design process. CAPRI being used as a gateway to build their CAD-based aerodynamics meshing and design system.

Avetec (the Advanced Virtual Engine Test Cell, Inc.) is working to advance research within a world-class modeling and simulation capability and initiating educational partnerships to prepare a skilled future workforce. Avetec and its partners are conducting modeling and simulation research that aims to reduce the cost and time it takes to design, develop and test new jet turbine engines for commerce and the military. CADNexus is working Avetec and University of Cincinnati to build a multi-disciplinary turbomachinery design system.
SimCenter serves Mississippi State University, government, and industry through research and development of advanced computational modeling, simulation, and design of physical systems to solve real world problems. CADNexus works with SimCenter on streamlining import of complex CAD models into the SolidMesh mesh generation system.
ESI is a world-leading supplier and pioneer of digital simulation software for prototyping and manufacturing processes that take into account the physics of materials. ESI has developed an extensive suite of coherent, industry-oriented applications to realistically simulate a product's behavior during testing, to fine tune manufacturing processes in accordance with desired product performance, and to evaluate the environment's impact on product performance. CADNexus is collaborating with ESI to develop new geometry technologies for automating simulation of sheet metal manufacturing processes.
