Meet David Weinberg, the original creator of NEI Nastran
David began his engineering career in 1085 working for Mcdonnel Douglass, focusing on the Delta Rocket program. There he discovered the potential of FEA through Nastran and was inspired to create a more accessible version. Thus, in the 90's he started NEi Software which blossomed into force with over 50 employees, 3 global offices, and a reseller network spanning the globe. NEi Software used a customer-centric approach, fostering relationships with giants such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and NASA.
Today, David aims to leverage his extensive experience to propel SDA Software as a top VAR by showing Femap's expansive capabilities, especially it's ability to work with all major solvers.
