Ciespace Corporation Founder Named 1st Recipient of IMR Fellow Award

CHICAGO, Dec. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ciespace Corporation, a privately-held engineering software company, announced today that Dr. Kenji Shimada, Founder and Chief Science Officer, was named the first recipient of the IMR Fellow Award at the 2011 International Meshing Roundtable (IMR) held in Paris, France on October 23 - 25. The IMR Fellow Award was created this year, IMR's 20th anniversary, to recognize an individual with a distinguished record of research accomplishments in the field of Mesh Generation and exceptional service to the meshing community. 

"It is an honor to receive this award.  Although the theory of meshing has been studied over the past four decades by mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers, meshing is still the most labor-intensive and time-consuming task in many computer-aided engineering processes.  Through the commercialization efforts of Ciespace Corporation, I believe that our novel physically-based mesh generation method, BubbleMesh™, will significantly reduce user time and improve solution accuracy,"  said Dr. Shimada.

Over the past 20 years, Dr. Shimada's research group has developed BubbleMesh™ for finite element mesh generation. BubbleMesh™ has been licensed by more than 80 companies in a wide variety of manufacturing industries.

"Dr. Shimada has devoted a significant part of his career to the continued research and advancement of mesh generation techniques. His innovative BubbleMesh™ technology takes a huge leap forward in automating the manual labor-intensive process of mesh generation. We are pleased to see Dr. Shimada recognized by the IMR for his unique contributions to the field," remarked Kevin Kerns,  CEO of Ciespace Corporation.
