The following press release was distributed today by PRWeb.

(PRWEB) November 4, 2009 -- Quadstone Paramics' diversification into pedestrian simulation has broadened the company's market furthering crossover opportunities in industries, such as automotive, architectural and construction, which are also areas of focus for Autodesk.

"The synergies between the Paramics and Autodesk product sets are clearly defined; we look forward to building on these foundations as we improve product integration for the wider benefit of our mutual users".

The benefits of improved collaboration between the two company's are highlighted in a recent case study from AEC Systems (Australasia's largest Autodesk authorized value-added reseller) demonstrating the interoperability between AutoCAD Civil 3D software and the new Paramics Urban Analytics Framework (UAF). The UAF is the latest product from Quadstone Paramics which analyses the shared space between traffic and pedestrians, aiding pedestrian safety and providing detailed statistics on pedestrian level of service for use in urban space design.

"We welcome Quadstone Paramics to the Autodesk Developer Network" said Jim Quanci, director of the Autodesk Developer Network, "We recognize the company as leaders in the traffic and pedestrian modeling space, and we are looking forward to working with them as we explore ways to add value to both our respective solutions"
