Safety is the topmost concern in design of a nuclear plant and this is the basis of several guidelines formulated by various regulatory agencies around the world. While following strict performance criteria demanded by the regulatory agencies, designers strive to enhance their designs without incurring prohibitive development costs.
MSC.Software’s tools and products offer an ideal solution for designers and manufacturers by providing the dual advantages of meeting nuclear meeting regulatory guidelines and innovation, achieved at a lower cost. With capabilities to model accurately highly nonlinear materials that exhibit time and temperature dependent behavior and complex loading conditions, designers can simulate complex testing scenarios in the safety of their offices. Use of accurate, high performance simulations solutions from MSC also help reduce physical tests, while at the same time enabling you to run a more comprehensive regimen of virtual tests.
