ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., Feb. 21, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Absoft(r) Corporation, a leading developer of compilers, debuggers and software development tools for high performance computing, today announced the immediate availability of MATFOR Express, a new, low cost, data visualization tool suite for Windows. MATFOR Express is based on AnCAD's well-known MATFOR Visualization Toolset and under a special program from Absoft, can be obtained FREE with the purchase of Pro Fortran v10.1 for Windows!
MATFOR Express is the result of a joint effort between Absoft and AnCAD to offer a lost cost, full-featured graphics and visualization tool suite for Windows. MATFOR Express requires almost no additional programming to add comprehensive visualization to existing applications. Under the Absoft exclusive program, MATFOR Express is available to all new and upgrade customers of Absoft Pro Fortran v10.1 for Windows at no additional charge!
Data visualization has become increasingly important across a wide variety of research areas including wave propagation, fluid dynamics and solid mechanics where the data is complex, and visual presentation of that data is necessary to increase understanding, productivity and presentation impact. MATFOR Express adds this capability and is extremely easy to use. All that is required is the addition of a few lines of code and customers can manipulate and display existing data in a wide variety of formats.
"We have been selling MATFOR for several years. The customers really like its power, flexibility, and easy-of-use," said Wood Lotz, president of Absoft. "MATFOR is a huge productivity booster because it allows customers to spend their time focusing on research and application development rather than trying to create their own graphics. And increasingly, graphics are the only way to present complex data in an easy-to-understand format," continued Lotz.
Under the new Absoft program, full, perpetual licenses of MATFOR Express will be available FREE to all customers who purchase a new or upgrade copy of Absoft Pro Fortran v10.1 for Windows from Absoft or a reseller after February 21, 2008.
"Standard MATFOR licenses are $2000, but visualization has become increasing necessary for our customers to properly present their data," said Yetmen Wang, president of AnCAD. "Based on customer feedback we know there is demand for a less expensive version of MATFOR, so we created MATFOR Express which retains MATFOR's primary features but is priced at only $299. AnCAD's goal is to expand awareness and usage of visualization tools in a wide variety of fields. To help accomplish this we have partnered with Absoft and developed a special program which makes MATFOR Express available FREE to customers that purchase Pro Fortran v10.1 for Windows after February 21, 2008. Upgrades to the full MATFOR Toolset will be eligible for additional discounts as well," continued Yetmen Wang.
