Engrasp, Inc. (www.engrasp.com) today announced the release of the first major update to its flagship EngineersToolbox (ETBX) application suite for engineering design and analysis. ETBX Version 2.5 features new and enhanced solution libraries and adds comprehensive units support to all computational modules. It marks a breakthrough in productivity and ease-of-use by linking ETBX's popular visual environment to familiar business applications such as Microsoft Office. ETBX Version 2.5 builds on Engrasp's mission of providing world-class tools to help engineers solve complex problems quickly.

ETBX Version 2.5 was developed with extensive input from many of Engrasp's enterprise-class customers. The company considers its customer base to be an essential part of its development process. Version 2.5 introduces new capabilities that help our customers explore a wider range of design solutions in less time and with improved accuracy. Select enhancements include:

• Fluid Mechanics And Heat Transfer Library - ETBX 2.5 contains a new solution library that specializes in fluid mechanics and thermal flow. The new library provides mathematical models of fluid flow and heat transfer for common mechanical systems such as nozzles and ducts.
• Comprehensive Units Support - ETBX 2.5 features a new Unit Manager that automatically tracks and converts units. Users can specify whatever input and output units they prefer in all solution modules. The Unit Manager applies the necessary unit conversions to maintain a coherent system for calculations.
• Office And Web Integration - ETBX 2.5 delivers an impressive level of integration with common Windows applications and file formats. ETBX input tables and results can be directly copied to popular word processors, spreadsheets, and graphics programs using the system clipboard. ETBX 2.5 can also generate multimedia content for web publishing and presentations in standard file formats:
  • Animations, including AVI, GIF, and MOV
  • Graphics files, including JPEG, GIF, TIFF, and PNG
  • Documents, including PDF and CSV
• Desktop Features - ETBX 2.5 is fully integrated with the Windows desktop. Modules can be saved as ETBX files and retrieved by double-clicking a desktop icon. A new print manager provides fully customizable WYSIWYG printing of graphical results.

Version 2.5 is a major step forward in making ETBX the premier visual analysis tool for engineers in the formulative stages of a product design.
