JAR - Research, Development, & Design Support; FEA Analysis Consulting & Technology

Overview of JAR

"As boundaries and limitations dissolve, JAR helps clients reach goals we never dreamed of even a decade ago.

"When JAR began in 1977, we defined ourselves as engineering analysis consultants. It was pretty arcane stuff. But in the years since, our company has evolved with the general acceptance and application of CAE technologies. To best serve our clients, we provide them not just with practical, economically-sound solutions, but with the tools they need to compete and prosper. They do this with a more complete understanding of their parts, their processes and their ultimate product. This understanding helps them to achieve the insights that create better/cheaper/more reliable products and that mean the difference between being an also-ran or a leader in their market.

"After many years as a reseller of general purpose CAD/CAE programs, we have returned to our roots. We provide design/analysis consulting and some prototype development and are concentrating on industry specific software.

No matter what you turn to JAR for -- from simulation software to complete engineering design services to prototype development -- you'll be a beneficiary of the JAR advantage. It stems from our unwavering commitment not only to our clients and staff, but to the technology they need to remain competitive."
