Boeing Mass Properties Toolkit - click to enlarge commercial

Boeing Mass Properties Toolkit

The MassTk is an engineering analysis application by Boeing. It incorporates the functionality from several legacy mass properties analysis applications that were originally written in Java, Fortran, C, and even Perl.

MassTk is built on top of the NetBeans Platform. It provides a rich GUI with custom editors for all business objects including 2D & 3D visualization.

Boeing uses MassTk to perform payload balance solutions, loadability analysis, fuel management analysis, fuel mass property analysis, and mass distribution to finite element models. MassTk vastly improved pre- and post-processing of analyses, it has a shallower learning curve, and lower maintenance costs.

Boeing Shared Platform (BSP) - click to enlarge commercial

Boeing Shared Platform (BSP)

The Boeing Shared Platform is a logical outgrowth of building MassTk on top of the NetBeans Platform: BSP is a feature-rich platform created by factoring out the modules from MassTk that are not specific to mass properties analysis, but are useful to engineering analysis applications in general.

In addition to the NetBeans Platform, the BSP includes a number of third-party open-source libraries, as well as a number of Boeing-developed modules.

Boeing SIFT - click to enlarge commercial

Boeing Composite Material Analyzer

In a couple of months this application was built on top of the Boeing Shared Platform. It is used for composite material analysis.

For the developer, it was just a question of assembling the pieces, because a large part of the analysis code was already done in historical applications, where it wasn't easy to use and find. Now, thanks to having integrated everything via their shared platform, all derivative applications gain from this centralization.

Oil & Gas Services

Vinland Software Suite - click to enlarge commercial

Vinland Software Suite

Vinland, by Eriksfiord, is an application in the oil & gas exploration business. Its mission is to make the daily life of geoscientists easier and to avoid forcing them to become spreadsheet addicts, since typically that's what they need to be. Lots of the applications/formulas in the geomechanical arena are either hugely over-designed and hopeless-to-use spreadsheets or very time consuming Finite Element models, often run on poorly performing 32-bit based Windows boxes.

The decision to use the NetBeans Platform in this case was a combination of its OS independence, its 100% Java content, and the fact that it is fully Swing based, very well documented, and has a very strong on-line community.

INTViewer - click to enlarge commercial

Project IRI - click to enlarge

Project IRI

The goal of the project was to make a sensor monitoring application. We had to make two programs, a server and a client. Because we don't have a whole laboratory full of sensors at school, we had to simulate the sensors by generating random values within a certain parameter. The generation of these random values had to be done on the server with a time interval of a few hundred milliseconds and the server needed to store these values. This itself sounds very doable until you realize that we had to simulate over 400 sensors each with aN interval of a few hundred milliseconds and that we had to store all of these values in the memory and not on the hard drive.
