HEEDS Professional Named Editor's Pick of the Week at Desktop Engineering

East Lansing, MI (June 26, 2009) – Desktop Engineering magazine announced on Wednesday that Red Cedar Technology's HEEDS Professional software for automated design optimization has been chosen as the Editor’s Pick of the Week for June 24, 2009.

Anthony J. Lockwood, editor at large for Desktop Engineering had the following to say about HEEDS Professional: “The key to HEEDS is its SHERPA technology, a hybrid search algorithm that combines its own strategies with other known methods – genetic algorithms, e.g. – then leverages them all automatically and simultaneously to explore your design space and optimize the design. This phalanx of search algorithms brought to bear on a problem requires fewer iterations to converge on the optimal design because it eliminates the inefficiencies inherent in running one method over and over.”

“You do not have to be an optimization technology maven to put SHERPA to use,” adds Lockwood, “You set up a design optimization through a simple process. What this all means for you is that HEEDS Professional increases your productivity, reduces wasted time and money, gets products to market faster, and frees up computer resources for additional productive work.”
