Product catalog summary
Introduction
In the competitive market, manufacturers face time constraints in designing and validating product performance. Traditional point analysis tools are insufficient for products subjected to multiple concurrent loading conditions. MSC addresses this with multidiscipline (MD) analysis technologies, bridging the gap between simulation and real-world performance.
Proven CAE Technology Foundation
MSC's engineering analysis products, such as Nastran, Patran, Marc, Dytran, Adams, and Easy5, form the foundation for MD analysis. These tools are used globally to drive innovation, offering robust solutions for structural, thermal, motion, and controls analysis. They are available as stand-alone tools or integrated within MSC’s MD technologies, enabling realistic simulations across engineering disciplines.
Realistic Simulation Results
MD allows for the reuse of existing analysis in a fully integrated system, crucial for complex models. It enhances virtual product development by accurately simulating multiple physics effects, reducing simulation time, and optimizing product designs.
MD Nastran and MD Adams
MD Nastran offers comprehensive structural analysis technologies, supporting large models and complex simulations. MD Adams, widely used for multi-body dynamics, evaluates mechatronics' impact on motion and integrates with MD Nastran for structural integrity assessments.
Benefits of MD Technologies
MD technologies provide real-world simulation, better accuracy, faster results, and eliminate translation errors. They reduce process time by up to 50%, improve collaboration, and enable accurate simulation of complex interactions through direct coupling or chained analysis approaches.
Applications and Industry Support
MD supports various industry-specific processes, accelerating product innovation in aerospace, automotive, consumer products, medical devices, and electronics. It supports multiple physics classes, including explicit-implicit, fluid-structure interaction, motion-structural chaining, and more.
Expanding Engineering Productivity
MSC's SimEnterprise Solutions enhance productivity by integrating MD user environments, simulation content management, and best practice automation. SimXpert and SimDesigner enable automation and early design process simulations, while SimManager streamlines simulation content management.
Flexible Licensing
MSC offers flexible licensing through Masterkey and Advantage programs, allowing access to a complete range of products on a consumption basis, reducing time and cost for different analysis needs.
