BOSTON--Nov. 16, 1998--Prescient Technologies, Incorporated announced today that Ricardo Consulting Engineers, a global force in powertrain and vehicle technology, selected the industry leading design quality assurance application, DesignQA(TM) to ensure the quality of the CAD/CAM models and drawings for their products.
Ricardo will use Prescient Technologies' DesignQA in conjunction with Pro/ENGINEER(R), the industry leading solid modeling CAD system from Parametric Technologies Corporation . DesignQA detects modeling problems and provides the user with quantitative and qualitative assessments of individual problems and overall CAD model quality. This functionality enables a user to evaluate the overall impact of a modeling problem, and correct it early in the design process.
"Our commitment at Ricardo Consulting Engineers is to support the entire design process from concept to Production," noted Martin Hill, CAD Applications Engineer for Ricardo. "We pride ourselves in developing high quality designs which meet the varied demands of our diverse client base. We determined that the DesignQA product would provide us with the greatest power and ability to incorporate best design practices throughout our engineering process."
"We are pleased to count Ricardo among the world class design organizations that have chosen Prescient Technologies' DesignQA to ensure and improve design quality in their development process. The flexibility of our product will provide Ricardo with the ability to respect the individual design requirements of their customers. This will support Ricardo's ability to act as a seamless extension of those customers' in house design teams" said Tom Mignosa, Vice-President, Product Marketing at Prescient Technologies."
