NEW YORK – October 17, 2012 – Design technology consultancy, Microdesk, today announced that it has earned the new Autodesk Simulation Specialization designation for value added resellers (VARs) from Autodesk, Inc., a world leader in  3D design, engineering and entertainment software.

As an Autodesk Specialized Partner, Microdesk has shown that they have made significant investment in their people, have a solid business strategy related to their specialization area,  have excellent customer references, and that they can provide a high level of engineering and design simulation and analysis experience and support to the architecture, engineering and construction, and owner/operator (AECO) industry.

Autodesk Simulation software enables designers and engineers to perform analysis such as energy modeling, structural analysis, and mechanical performance reviews. By leveraging these technologies early in the design process, designers can more effectively investigate behavior, test innovative concepts, and optimize designs before manufacturing or construction.
