China Partnership with Shanghai Sheenray Expands CFdesign Distribution and Services

Blue Ridge Numerics, Inc. is pleased to announce the addition of Shanghai Sheenray Information Technology Corporation Ltd. as a strategic partner for sales, marketing and customer support in China. An engineering software and services provider dedicated to the China market, Sheenray has high expertise in helping engineering groups across all industrial segments make smooth and rapid transition to a digital prototyping process using 3D MCAD and integrated simulation tools.

With the manufacturing sector in China expected to grow 15% annually over the next 5 years and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) growth in the 30% range, taking Upfront CFD to the world's largest emerging market is a high priority for Blue Ridge Numerics.

"The global 3D MCAD trend is finally taking root in China and this is always the precursor to a market ready for CFdesign upfront CFD software," stated Blue Ridge vice president of Asia Sales, Mike Nieburg. "Sheenray's CFD expertise, market knowledge and industry network will allow us to realize the same leadership position in China that we currently enjoy in other parts of the world."

"CFdesign is an ideal technology for product development in China,” stated Sheenray president, Dr. Yingjiu You. “Traditional CFD software is powerful technology but will not fit the high-efficiency product development environment desired by the manufacturing companies in China. Our customers need to see the kind of strong business impact from software implementation that CFdesign delivers."
