with SimEnterprise Solutions

Over the past three years, MSC.Software has been rolling out ground breaking simulation technology innovations that continuously address the increasing virtual test requirements of product manufacturers. By building on our 40-year simulation technology heritage, we have enabled a complete solution set from engineering to enterprise simulation to improve simulation accuracy, efficiency, and productivity.

Simulate More Reliably
Engineering Analysis Technology Foundation

For traditional structural and mechanical analysis requirements, engineers rely on MSC.Software's highly reliable engineering analysis product foundation, which we've been developing, selling, and supporting for over 40 years. These component analysis technologies serve as the rock-solid foundation for the most reliable enterprise simulation results in the industry.

The individual engineering analysis products have established virtual test standards, and include technologies such as Nastran, Patran, Marc, Dytran, Adams, and Easy5 which give engineers tools to perform structural, thermal, motion, and controls analysis. These products are the technology component foundation for the entire MSC solution set and have been integrated into a single solver framework and made available through our MD Technologies, which enable the coupling of multiple physics within a common environment.

Simulate More Accurately
Multidiscipline Simulation Solutions

MSC's heritage of delivering analysis technology with proven reliability has been carried forward into all of MSC offerings to provide solutions that improve engineers' ability to perform complex simulations.

Component products such as Nastran, Marc, Dytran, Adams and Easy 5 have been integrated into a single solver solution framework and delivered through MD Technologies - MD Nastran and MD Adams - enabling engineers a seamless path forward to more realistically and accurately simulate the interaction between multiple physics within a single environment. MD offers interactive, coupled analysis solutions for motion-structures, structures-thermal, motion-mechatronics, composites failure chaining, enhanced nonlinear implicit contact, and others.

The MD Technologies integrated solver foundation and single analysis data environment removes the need for multiple, repetitive models across point simulation tools. By eliminating time-consuming and error-prone translations and redundant model preparation tasks, MD Technologies dramatically reduce the time-to-solution cycle - by up to 50 percent.

Simulate More Efficiently
Simulation Best Practice Capture & Reuse

Extending the MSC SimEnterprise solution set even further, we provide engineers with SimXpert, a fully integrated modern MD workspace environment which is based on our reliable and accurate MD Technology foundation, and significantly increases efficiency by providing an advanced modeling solution for multidiscipline problems and the ability to seamlessly automate day-to-day simulation tasks and methods. Engineers can easily pre-process, solve, post process, and generate reports within a single modeling software interface and significantly increase the speed and efficiency of simulation across the engineering department.

The SimXpert environment provides access to capabilities in both MD Nastran-Adams, extends workspaces to provide industry applications, and delivers a Template Builder/Runner tool for everyday analysts that enables automatic establishment of CAE best practices.

Simulations can be developed, captured as best practices, and distributed as reusable methods to other engineers as well as designers via Templates in CAD using SimDesigner.

The SimDesigner solution enables design engineers to perform repeatable, analyst-guided simulation studies early in the design cycle. SimDesigner gives designers assurance in their analysis results by enabling the reuse of guided analysis templates that were authored in SimXpert by methods experts and/or experienced analysts. SimDesigner also delivers easy-to-learn simulation tools within the familiar CAD interface that enable engineers to increase first-pass simulations, empower more what-if scenarios, and identify flaws earlier.

Simulate More Productively
Simulation Content & Process Management

SimManager, MSC.Software's simulation content and process management solution, fuels innovation by reducing the complexity of product development through simulation process automation. SimManager solutions eliminate time wasted in searching for data, streamline the process of distributing standard methods, processes, material properties, and enable discipline-focused teams to gain real-time access to system-level performance prediction for the first time.

With more consistent and reliable simulation throughout the enterprise, SimManager increases productivity and provides the confidence to replace physical prototypes with more rapidly developed and less expensive virtual prototypes. Through automated processes, a greater number of design possibilities can be evaluated, resulting in leaps of innovation and lasting competitive advantage. And, since SimManager is also capturing contextual information describing who, why, and how simulation is created, a complete audit trail is established for the simulation process, enabling continuous quality improvement initiatives.
