Desktop Engineering Readers Attracted to Feature-Based Translation
Technology

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., July 31, 2003 - Elysium Inc., a leading global provider
of digital design data exchange software, today announced their CADfeature
technology has received the Desktop Engineering Readers' Choice Award for
the month of August.

Elysium's feature-based translation (FBT) provides the technology to
translate a CAD model's design intent, features and parameters from one CAD
system to another. In addition to creating 3D geometric models, each CAD
system has a feature tree that, until now, could not be translated between
dissimilar systems. Elysium's new feature-based translation technology
enables engineers to translate both geometric model data, and the valuable
individual feature information as well as design intent.

The feature translation product was recently developed by Elysium in
response to direct requests from Elysium's PLM software partners providing
solutions to major aerospace clients. One major client was entering a
multiple-CAD platform environment where design intellect had to be
transferred between systems. Elysium performed necessary research and
development to ensure that the client's needs and processes were a key part
of the technology development plan. The resulting feature-translation
technology in place at the client site has provided fast, high-quality
feature-based translation for the client in a way that mirrors processes
they already use and minimizes manual intervention. The resulting product is
known as CADfeature by Elysium.

The Desktop Engineering Magazine Reader's Choice award is given to the
product that receives the most reader interest in a recent issue and is
based on Web inquiries. Winners are the CAD-related products and services
that have done the most to raise the bar of excellence and technological
innovation over the past six months.
