Government

MSC Software gives government organizations a more realistic, rigorous, and reliable way to evaluate engineering designs. Our net-centric simulation solutions out-perform real-world testing, enabling agencies to streamline missions, reduce risk, and cut costs. MSC Software simulates engineering designs as physics-based digital models, verifies their performance within a virtual test environment, and generates detailed data. Using MSC Software, agencies can conduct tests continuously throughout a program ’s lifecycle and document a broader base of test data. With net-centric simulation as a program standard, agencies can make better decisions, fulfill all their requirements, consistently deliver on schedule, and ensure mission success.

More Realistic

MSC Software simulates engineering designs as physics-based digital models, verifies their performance within a virtual test environment, and documents detailed data. Digital (rather than physical) prototyping on a scalable, enterprise-wide platform allows agencies to:

• Integrate same-time analysis across multiple disciplines
• Understand intricate interactions between components
• Assess performance under precisely defined conditions

More Rigorous

With net-centric simulation and MSC Software, agencies can conduct tests continuously throughout the project lifecycle and document a broader base of test data. Because programs and projects aren't limited by the information constraints (and expense) of live testing, they can:

• Perform more analyses in less time
• Consider many different options and scenarios
• Repeat tests and confirm results
• Surface issues and resolve them earlier

More Reliable

U.S. government agencies (such as NASA and the Navy) already use MSC Software products as individual COTS solutions. More are beginning to consider net-centric simulation at the enterprise level. With net-centric simulation as a standard for program best practices, U.S. government agencies can:

• Ensure consistency and integrity within and across projects
• Reuse and redeploy simulation resources and applications
• Ensure compliance with requirements, deadlines, and budgets
• Support better decision making at each project stage
• Avoid costly revisions and program failures due to undetected issues

MSC Software is the global leader in engineering simulation applications with over 40 years of experience and expertise. Now, we ’re helping U.S. government agencies transcend what they can achieve with live testing – by using net-centric simulation to produce more realistic, more rigorous, and more reliable results.
