• Fluid dynamics & loads :

– XFlow is using meshless particle based approach

to solve complex transient fluid dynamics problems

including fluid/structures interaction, moving

boundaries, free surfaces, etc …

– FlightLoads is driving aeroelasticity (DLM,

ZONA51) / flutter analysis using MSC Nastran

dedicated solutions (144, 145, 146)

– Open Fluid Structure Interaction to couple MSC

Nastran (400) with any CFD solver

– Basic fondations of future Computational Fluid

Dynamics workspace building the link between

most popular CFD solvers and Finite Element

Analysis (MSC Nastran) / Multi-Body Simulation

(Adams) / Control & Actuation System Design

• Structures statics & modes :

– Marc and MSC Nastran implicit solutions are

addressing (geometric / material) non-linear (400)

or linear statics, buckling and normal modes (101,

103, 105) deformations, forces, stresses and

strains on components under any loading

conditions including advanced non-linear contact

– New Parts And Assemblies techniques to increase

substructuring efficiency

– Advanced composites modeling / analysis

capabilities including failure expertise

– Many other analysis modes are supported such as

normal modes including pre-stress, topology /

topography / topometry optimization,

parallelization leveraging HPC solutions

addressing tank perforation, bird impact, engine

explosion, passenger safety and full vehicle crash

simulation


Page 12


• Thermal loads & heat transfer :

– Easy5 is addressing heating, ventilation and air

conditioning systems simulation (flow / pressure /

temperature)

– Sinda and MSC Nastran non-linear implicit solution

(400) are addressing thermal analysis of

environmental heating / cooling network (fluid /

environment heat transfer)

– Marc and MSC Nastran thermal solutions (153,

159) are addressing steady state and transient

heat transfer analysis of components under

conduction, convection and radiation

• Vibration & acoustics :

– MSC Nastran dynamic solutions (107-112) are

addressing real / complex eigenvalue, frequency

response, random response and transient

response analysis

– Actran is adressing internal / external aero-vibro-

acoustics analysis
