During his tenure at the National Aviation and Space Administration, Craig Collier helped develop the software that would become HyperSizer, a computer-aided program for designing with composite laminates. When he left NASA, his brainchild followed him— sort of—into a project with NASA to commercialize the product with the recent release of HyperSizer v6.
HyperSizer is designed to help bridge the capabilities of CAD software and finite element analysis (FEA) to test objects that are made with composite materials, which can include metals, alloys and plastics. The product does this by automating what would otherwise be manual calculations in stress analyses. When it comes to testing new components, the product can be a key feature of any project.
