About MSC Software

Simulating Reality, Delivering Certainty MSC Software is one of the ten original software companies and the worldwide leader in multidiscipline simulation. As a trusted partner, MSC Software helps companies improve quality, save time and reduce costs associated with design and test of manufactured products. Academic institutions, researchers, and students employ MSC technology to expand individual knowledge as well as expand the horizon of simulation. MSC Softwares engineering simulation technology is used by leading manufacturers for linear and nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA), acoustics, fluid-structure interaction (FSI), multi-physics, optimization, fatigue and durability, multi-body dynamics, and control systems simulation. The companys products accurately and reliably predict how products will behave in the real world to help engineers design more innovative products - quickly and cost effectively. MSC Software Corporation was formed in 1963 and was awarded the original contract from NASA to commercialize the finite element analysis (FEA) software known as Nastran (NASA Structural Analysis). MSC pioneered many of the technologies that are now relied upon by industry to analyse and predict stress and strain, vibration & dynamics, acoustics, and thermal analysis in our flagship product, MSC Nastran. Today MSC is a privately owned company of the Symphony Technology Group and provides an extensive range of CAE solutions.

Solutions

Over our rich history, MSC has developed or acquired many other well-known CAE applications including Patran, Adams, Marc, Dytran, Fatigue, SimXpert, SimDesigner, SimManager, Easy5, Sinda, and Actran. We are committed to the continued development of new CAE technology that integrates disciplines and technologies from standalone CAE tools into unified multi-discipline solvers and user environments. These next generation products enable engineers to improve the reliability and accuracy of their virtual prototypes by including multi-physics and multi-discipline interactions. MSC is also the CAE industrys leader in extending simulation to the engineering enterprise. Our customers recognize the need to scale the benefits of virtual prototyping and testing from pockets of experts to mainstream engineering and product development, and MSC offers the only Simulation Data and Process Management platform in the world that has been successfully deployed in industries including automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, electronics, and more MSC Software employs 1,200 professionals in 20 countries. 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.
