About Us
Sandor Racz:
Dr. Racz is a graduate of the University of Miskolc.
In the early stage of his career he pioneered using nonlinear programming for optimal design of thin walled beam structures. He was a member of a small team that developed PEXFE, one of the first applications that utilized the p extensional version of the finite element method. His h-p adaptive FEM 2000 finite element solver also represented a modern solution.
Dr. Racz also worked on the development of the Abaqus/CAE and HyperMesh finite element preprocessors at Dassault/Simulia and Altair Engineering companies that are market leaders in Computer Aided Engineering.
With Dr. Pedro Marcal, the founder of MARC Corp. (now MSC MARC) they developed the MPAVE preprocessor for multiphysics simulations.
He also took part in the Boeing’s 787 (Dreamliner) project, helped EXA Corporation to improve the speed and quality of visualization in their PowerDELTA product.
Recently working for the oil and gas industry he implemented a new meshing solution for Kongsberg Oil & Gas making their LedaFlow flow assurance application significantly faster, developed a multiprocessing application for Shell Oil & Gas speeding up their document processing and interfaced Forum Energy Technologies’s VMAX remotely operated vehicle simulator with SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor CAD program.
He also contributed to the Spyder IDE scientific Python development open source project porting it from Qt4 to Qt5, developed a new cross platform GUI to it that follows Microsoft’s ribbon specification and worked out a solution to integrate the latest versions of VTK visualization library, Qt GUI library and the Python programming language.
In addition to develop software solutions he is actively interested in how to reduce the development/maintenance costs of software applications and how to utilize multi core and many core CPUs in a much more efficient way.
Donat Racz:
Mr. Donat Racz is a recent graduate of University of California, Irvine. He holds MS degree in aerospace engineering (GPA 3.9/4.0).
One of Donat’s interests is modern simulation techniques such as meshfree methods and how they can be applied in the area of Computer Aided Engineering.
His primary responsibility is to develop code in Python/C++, GUI using Qt, QA (Quality Assurance) and Web CMS.
