Offer to Donate Freely STARSTRUC to Universities in the Middle East

STARSTRUC is the first Commercial optimization system since 1983.  After its introduction to the market, I had a chance to talk to Mr. Fouad Yousuf, the General Consul  of Egypt in Houston, Texas, at that time. I expressed my intention to him to donate this software to Egypt as a learning tool, and in the same time to use it in many industries. He was very supportive, and arranged a meeting with the chief of Egyptian Air force and his staff during the delivery of F-16 aircraft in Fort Worth, Texas, to Egypt. During the meeting I was presented by reasons to reject my offer, such as: there is no design in Egypt. I showed them application of STARSTRUC to modify the design of the air intake structure of the F-16. After a long meeting, I realized that I was not going anywhere.

Now, my offer is repeated again to Universities in the Middle East, to a Professor of Structural design and analysis (Familiar with Finite Element Method, Computer programming, Fortran) to take on this work with graduate students to expand, update, and modify to local needs, as well as distribute to the market.

This offer is based on the following conditions:

• I have the right to accept or reject any Professor with or without reasons.

• I will donate 2 weeks of my time, or more, for training, and explaining the internal structure of the software, and how to amend, expand, and maintain the software.

• I will deliver a commented copy of the software, with verification problems, and User Manual.

• Any traveling and living expenses should be paid by the university to me, based upon my residence in Cairo, Egypt.
