Software Offerings

Our academic software offerings are intentionally simple yet scalable, targeted yet flexible – with similar products bundled together to help maximize your simulation capability while minimizing your cost and administrative work.

Each of our 3 university software bundles is network-licensed via a consistent set of "User Packs" designed to meet each university customer's specific objective: 1 for individual use (primarily for personal research); 5 for smaller-group projects and team work; 50 for larger-group use (such as a class); and 150 for use by multiple classes in a department or across multiple departments campus-wide.

• Academic FEA Bundle

  Provides linear and non-linear finite element analysis (FEA) capabilities for structural & thermal simulations as well as others such as those involving impacts and fluid-structure interactions; based on the latest versions of MSC Nastran, Patran, Dytran, Marc, and Sinda.

• Academic Motion Bundle

  Provides capabilities for a wide variety of multi-body motion and mechanical system simulations, including hydraulics & controls, using a geometric modeling approach or a schematic, block-diagram modeling approach; based on Adams and Easy5.

• Academic SimDesigner Bundle

  Provides CAD-embedded FEA and Motion simulation powered by MSC Nastran, Marc, and Adams in CATIA V5.
