Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) has announced the launch of a new online storefront with several upgraded features including a more user-friendly interface and improved functionality.
The new store features a subscription capability, allowing customers to enable automatic recurring purchases.
Upcoming additional improvements to the new storefront are expected before the end of 2024. One will allow third-party purchasers to include information about the end user. DPlot customers will also be able to manage their DPlot license through the online store when the new DPlot version is released later this year.
“ARA is committed to providing our customers with robust, innovative products that will provide solutions to critical problems that will make our world safer, make us more secure, and make a difference in our daily lives,” said Michelle Thompson, ARA systems development specialist. “Our improved online storefront will allow our customers to continue to access these valuable tools with more ease than ever before.”
ARA products available in the online store include:
- 3D-Blast – 3D-Blast provides quick calculation and visualization of blast loads on different building shapes for an open-air explosion of a bare hemispherical charge.
- A.T.-Blast – A.T.-BLAST calculates blast loading parameters from an open-air hemispherical explosion based on distance from the device.
- DCMS: Dynamic Component Modeling Software – Dynamic Component Modeling Software (DCMS) assists engineers in the analysis and design of building structures (walls, roofs, frames, window frames, etc.) subjected to dynamic loads with a focus on blast analysis.
- WINGARD: Window Glazing Analysis Response and Design – WINdow Glazing Analysis Response and Design (WINGARD) provides an accurate analytical model of window response to the effects of an explosion.
- DPlot: Graph Software for Scientists and Engineers – DPlot is a leading graphing and data visualization software tool for scientists, engineers, researchers, or anyone else who is interested in plotting complex data.
- MPPD: Multiple-Path Particle Dosimetry Model – The MPPD model is a computational model that can be used for estimating human and laboratory animal inhalation particle dosimetry. The model is applicable to risk assessment, research, and education.
