Meet the Winners

I am very excited about the opportunity to use MSC's first-class tools in our efforts to increase the productivity of design and analysis of complex systems. The "Research Assist Program" affords us the opportunity to use many more analysis capabilities than would otherwise be available to us, and thus greatly enhances our research efforts and our potential for success.
