Kosme - Design and optimization of packaging machines
In developing custom solutions for customers, Kosme is frequently asked to develop machines that will operate faster and more reliably than their predecessors. Increasing the speed of machines raises inertial loads, creating the potential for vibration and resonances that could substantially reduce the life of the machines and cause breakdowns. In the past, Kosme engineers used hand calculations to estimate the performance of components and built physical prototypes to evaluate system performance. Problems were frequently discovered during the prototype stage. These problems often required many iterations of revisiting the design and modifying and re-testing the prototype.

SAAB Automotive
Saab Automobile AB used MSC.Nastran as their primary tool for structural dynamic analysis and structure-borne acoustics calculations to the development process of a new convertible. Design studies early in the development cycle and easily shared data improved interdisciplinary collaboration between the NVH and the chassis departments, enabling Saab to realize a vehicle balanced between weight, safety, and NVH performance. With the help of MSC Nastran and related MSC products, Saab has shortened time-to-market while maintaining safety and validating noise & vibration performance.
