MaterialCenter MSC Software solution for materials lifecycle management

MaterialCenter MaterialCenter is an enterprise-scalable system that manages materials data and processes. The intuitive web-based interface allows engineering organizations to upload materials data or capture it as the by-product of materials or engineering processes and then disseminate it in a secure manner in product design teams. Whether virtualizing material or part behavior, MaterialCenter has the integration framework that enables accurate transmission of materials data to simulation and the auto-capture of results for comparison, confidence and certification - all with complete...

Approval workflows In addition to work requests, further enforce best practices in an organization through built-in approval features in MaterialCenter. Organizations typically rely on manual approval processes or external applications to manage data quality. MaterialCenter supports approval activities that requires expert review of material data to determine its readiness for use in projects and applications. Configurable approval workflows enable composite logic such as multiple approvers and mandatory or optional approvers. Advanced security configuration and application Protect...

Product overview MSC Software makes products that enable engineers to validate and optimize their designs using virtual prototypes. Customers in almost every part of manufacturing use our software to complement, and in some cases even replace the physical prototype “build and test” process that has traditionally been used in product design. Senvol Database™ Databank The Senvol Database™ is the first and most comprehensive database of industrial additive manufacturing (AM) machines and materials. The database contains data on over 1,000 AM machines and over 3,000 compatible AM materials....
