Automotive Industry

It's no secret that the auto industry is facing the most difficult challenges in its history. Consumer demand for innovation, quality, and "coolness" continues to increase – as does pressure to reduce cost and operate more lean.

MSC.Software’s CAE tools allow automotive companies to create and test virtual prototypes of components, subsystems, and full vehicles that are proven to save time and money when compared to the conventional “build and test” process. In passenger vehicles, sports cars, trucks, motorcycles and race cars, MSC solutions have been at work every day for over 40 years.

Our designers and engineers heavily rely on having not only the best software technology but also support at hand, whenever it is required to avoid any down time. In these ways, MSC.Software has played a key part in helping us to achieve success and we look forward to having many more championships to celebrate.
