Press Release Body = Announcing the launch of Sigma-X Post Tension Structural

For slabs and floor systems - designed by engineers for engineers

Sigma-X, the bridge and structural engineering software developer is delighted to
announce the launch of the first in its suite of post tension and pre tension
analysis and design software products to take place on 17 January 2006.

The first product to market will be Sigma-X Post Tension Structural which has been
developed in the .net framework giving superior functionality and ease of use. In
fact, thanks to its highly intuitive interface and easily to follow help files and
video demonstrations, Sigma-X Post Tension Structural is practically training free.

Sigma-X Post Tension Structural is set to become the market-leading tool for the
complete design of slabs and floor systems permitting analysis of bonded and
unbonded pre stressing, allowing for voids and cracking and calculating losses due
to creep and shrinkage. It offers multiple cross-section options and tendons may be
banded or distributed. Where Sigma-X Post Tension Structural really has the edge
over all others is when it comes to its interoperability with other software
applications, its report writing capabilities and its unbeatable price.

The development of Sigma-X Post Tension has been led by Sigma-X MD Dr James Lee who
has a PhD in computational mechanics, and many years experience in the structural
engineering industry, academia and the structural engineering/FE software industry.
James says that in approaching the development of the product he and his team had
three main priorities - 'to make it user- friendly, to maximize the practical
applications of the results generated and to achieve this at a cost which is not
prohibitive'.

Sigma-X also produces Sigma-X Section a highly versatile, highly functional Section
Property Calculator. All Sigma-X products are designed to function either as stand
alone elements or as additional components to any finite element analysis of
stiffness method based software programmes.
