Company:Products:Patran Industries:Luft- & Raumfahrt | Sikorsky Aircraft - Nonlinear Analysis to Reduce Design Bottlenecks Overview: Sikorsky, a world leader in the design and manufacture of advanced helicopters, reduces design bottlenecks by using implicit nonlinear for contact analysis. The integrated solutions from MSC Software allow Sikorsky to perform contact analysis and get an accurate estimate of the true buckling strength of their structures with minimal software training. | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Company:Armor Products:Adams Industries:Maschinenbau | Armor Increases Machine Productivity by 20% with MSC Software’s Adams and Easy5 Simulations Overview: With sales of 137 million Euros in 2011, Armor is one of the leaders in producing inked ribbon used in thermal transfer printing for product identification and other applications. Ribbon is produced by applying ink to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film in a web coating process in which the speed, tension and position of the web and other variables must be closely controlled in order to ensure the highest possible quality while maximizing throughput.

Company:Products:Dytran Industries:Schiffbau | Low Velocity Impact Analysis of a Composite Mini Unmanned Air Vehicle During Belly Landing Overview: In this study belly landing of an unmanned mini air vehicle with low velocity impact on the soil and rigid ground has been investigated by explicit finite element analysis using MSC Dytran. | |
Company:Pratt & Miller Products:Adams Industries:Fahrzeugtechnik | Motorsports to Mission Critical - Pratt & Miller Overview: Pratt & Miller engineers used Adams and Adams/Car to design the front and rear suspension during the first few weeks of the project, long before there was a complete CAD model of the vehicle. One Adams analyst and two to three designers worked full-time on the front suspension while a similar team focused on the rear suspension. Adams simulations were used to evaluate and tune the suspension according to the specifications and also to supply loads to the designers for use in their FEA analyses. Challenge: Development of a Fully
Engineered Military Showcase

Company:NovaComp Engineering, Inc. Products:SimManager Industries:Fahrzeugtechnik | NovaComp Engineering Overview: Founded in 1990, NovaComp Engineering, Inc., provides finite element analysis (FEA) as a service to a wide range of industries. By combining deep experience with state-of-the-art computing and analysis tools such as Marc, NovaComp helps engineers solve complex linear and nonlinear problems in the fields of heat transfer, stress analysis, structural dynamics, and fluid flow. Challenge: With an extensive list of clients—including some of the most recognizable names in the high-tech industry—NovaComp’s small staff is
accustomed to handling huge amounts of data that can be difficult to keep organized.
The traditional method of organizing files was proving difficult for the staff at NovaComp to manage, as they often had difficulty identifying the latest version of each file.Solution: When the engineers at NovaComp receive CAD files from customers, they write a detailed
description of each file as it comes in. Then they write another description after the file is revised, organizing everything within SimManager
for quick access and retrieval.Benefits:
