Whether you are striving to research new simulation methodologies or develop innovative product designs, use of MSC software can help you achieve your goals.
When using our industrial-strength simulation software for your research and development (R&D) work, you don’t have to worry about hitting any walls or capability limitations. Our Academic software products are identical in functionality to our Commercial products. That means you can use the same great computer-aided engineering (CAE) software that is used by the best companies in the world on the most complex products being engineered today.
Our Academic Software Offerings enable you to virtually prototype product concepts that have never been considered before – the number of What-If scenarios you can perform is limited only by your computing hardware and time. Whether you are doing finite element analysis or motion dynamics & system simulation, our Academic FEA Bundle and Academic Motion Bundle, respectively, can help you extend our commercial, off-the-shelf codes by connecting your own simulation codes and intellectual property (IP) through subroutines, scripts, and open frameworks.
Not surprisingly, many researchers have long used MSC software in established and emerging fields – such as biomedical devices & procedures, aircraft & spacecraft design, vehicle engineering, analysis of machinery, robotics, mechatronics, alternative energy (e.g., wind), the safety & stability of civil structures, elastomers, composites, multi-scale modeling, abstract modeling, and design optimization, among many others.
To leverage their thought leadership, you can find thousands of papers referencing MSC software that have been published in technical journals and presented at industry conferences – search for them by using MSC product names as keywords, for example:
You can also search through academic papers presented at MSC VPD conferences (on virtual product development) and read our research-focused academic success stories such as those from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Rush University Medical Center, University of Alabama in Huntsville Rotorcraft Systems Engineering and Simulation Center, Devers Eye Institute, University of Southern California (USC) Dental School, and Texas A&M Biomedical Engineering Department.
