Quotes from the conference:

  • "Talking to some of your developers was a big plus by giving me insights into both your current software and what is coming in the future of FEA."
  • "Very informative in terms of benchmarking CAE software use trends in the North American market. Got introduced to 'SimExpert and SimManager' suite of products. Also to MD Nastran. Which does seem to have a lot of potential for small vehicle testing/simulation houses."
  • "To my surprise, MSC products are extensively used in many unexpected areas... very interesting information about SimEnterprise products. I think they will change our approach to design and analysis organization."

MSC Software would like to challenge you to take what you've learned during this conference back to others in your company, and join us in leading the path forward in gaining a competitive advantage through engineering productivity.
