COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF FEBRUARY 6,1996 PSA#1525NASA, George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, Procurement Office,
Marshall Space Flight Center, AL 35812 70 -- ENGINEERING ANALYSIS LANGUAGE (EAL) SOFTWARE SOL 8-P-6-16-92925
POC Contact GP22L/Janice M. Stewart,Contract Specialist, 205-544-6093
or GP22C/Teresa A. Foley, Contracting Officer NASA/MSFC plans to issue
a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Monthly Lease of Engineering Analysis
Language (EAL) Software, Level 330 or higher, quantity--3
ea--11.01/95-10/31/96 unit cost + per user for 12 months--The following
are the functional specs for Engineering Analysis Language (EAL) -- The
code shall be able to construct structural models of arbitrary
configuration using a variety of different element shapes: 1-D Beam
elements; 2-D shell elements; laminated shells; five and six sided 3-D
solid elements shall be included along with a formulation for fluid
elements to model phenomena such as slosh and other hydroelastic
dynamics The code shall be able to calculate static displacements and
reaction forces for the aforementioned beam, plate, and solid elements
-- The code shall be able to calculate the vibration eigenvalues of
structural and fluid models -- A shifting capability must be included
that allows a subset of modes to be isolated -- The code shall be able
to compute the buckling modes of modeled structures -- The code shall
be capable of system modification of a large number of requested
parameters for use in model verification with modal tests -- The code
shall be able to employ analysis procedures which make use of cyclic
symmetry in the model to aid both in CPU time savings and model size --
The code shall be able to perform analysis using substructuring
techniques such as macroelements and component mode synthesis in
superelement analysis -- The code shall be able to perform modal
transient response analysis with results in the form of displacements
and/or stress -- The code shall be able to perform random response
analysis by inputting a power spectral density (psd) spectrum and
calculating a response psd spectrum of the structure -- The code shall
have extensive mathematical capability which can be applied at any
point during the problem solution -- The user shall be able to create
and combine any scalar or matrix or set of scalars/matrices and perform
all standard operations upon them -- Any arbitrary vector or array
shall be able to be created to simulate loading conditions that vary in
time and space - All matrices created by the code itself (e.g. mass and
stiffness matrices) shall also be accessible for manipulation --
Conditional and incremental looping shall also be available when using
the above capabilities -- The code shall be able to perform geometric
and material nonlinear analysis. Ability to use gap elements is also
required -- The code shall be able to provide graphic display of
quantities such as element geometry, deformed modeshapes, and static
displacement -- To aid in this area, some type of translator must exist
to allow for results translation into PATRAN/P3 -- The code shall
provide the capability for a straight forward conversion of the
historical data base of analyses performed -- The code shall provide
the capability for both finite element geometry and results to be read
into and out of the CAD software PATRAN/P3 The code shall allow for
independent evaluation of element accuracy and convergence by
standardized finite element tests such as the MacNeal-Harder tests --
The code vendor shall furnish the following: multiple copies of
documentation as needed, detailed functional and operational
instruction of the code, relation of code operation to basic theory and
engineering practices, and a thorough set of verification problems for
code examination -- Verification and demonstration problems shall
fully illustrate the extent of the code's capability -- The code vendor
shall provide technical support and training for all users -- Also, the
code vendor shall provide for growth capability to include additional
capabilities to any ongoing current versions of the code as well as
furnishing documentation of the changes as they occur -- NASA/MSFC
intends to purchase from Engineering Information Systems Incorporated
(EISI), Saratoga, California-- This procurement is being conducted
under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) portion of the Federal
Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) -- Note: This procurement is
sole-source based on proprietary specifications and system
compatability requirements -- Interested firms have 15 days from the
publication date of this synopsis to submit in writing their
qualifications/capabilities in the critical areas mentioned above --
Such qualifications/capabilities will be used solely for the purpose of
determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive
basis -- Responses received after the 15 days or without the required
information will be considered nonresponsive to the synopsis and will
not be considered -- A determination by the Government not to compete
this proposed contract, on a full and open competitive basis, based
upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the
Government -- See Numbered Note 22 -- Oral communications are not
acceptable in response to this notice -- Responses must be submitted in
writing -- Transmission by facsimile to 205-544-9080 or by Internet
e-mail to janice.stewart@msfc.nasa.gov is acceptable -- The
solicitation and any related documents to this procurement will be
available over the Internet -- These documents will be in ASCII format
and reside on a World-Wide Web (WWW) server, which may be accessed
using client browsers, such as, MOSAIC -- The WWW address, or URL, of
the MSFC Procurement home page is: ''http://procure.msfc.nasa.gov''.
