At MacWorld 2010, attendance was down and Apple was nowhere to be found, but CEI was on the floor demonstrating a new version of EnSight that runs natively on Mac. David Morgenstern with ZDNet writes up his thoughts in a new story:
Just to be clear, this is not a Windows version running in Boot Camp or Parallels, and not an X Application, but a true native Mac OS X application. The relative ease of producing a native Mac version of Caedium along with the existing Windows and Linux versions demonstrates the unique cross-platform architecture embedded within Caedium from its initial conception. Caedium will become one of the few (maybe only) commercial CFD analysis tools to run as a native application on the Mac.
I can attest to Mac’s making inroads in engineering, as they offer more reliability than Windows machines and the “power” of a Linux machine, without requiring you to know how to compile a kernel.
