SHEFFIELD, UK (28 March 2012) - Lightworks, the world's leading supplier of rendering solutions for developers of advanced 3D computer graphics software, is pleased to announce their partnership with Design Simulation Technologies, a developer of educational software for the design and analysis of complex mechanical assemblies.

SimWise 4D is an analysis tool for design and engineering professionals which combines rigid body dynamics simulation and FEA analysis into a single, integrated environment. Design Simulation Technologies has licensed the Lightworks Author product and integrated it within the recent release of their SimWise 4D product enabling users to create photorealistic renderings of the design simulations.

Alan Wegienka, President of Design Simulation Technologies, commented; “We took an existing but quite old integration of the Lightworks rendering software and with the minimum of effort upgraded to the latest release.  The support from Lightworks and our other component suppliers has enabled us to concentrate on our core business plan and get our first release out on time and budget’

Dave Forrester, Managing Director at Lightworks added; “We are pleased to welcome DST as a Lightworks Author customer and believe that incorporating our rendering technology within SimWise 4D will add that degree of realism to their engineering simulations.  DST provide a unique product and we’re delighted to play a part in this.”
