Product Family Description:

MSC Software Corporation is a global provider of enterprise simulation services offering bundled solutions for solving complex problems, such as static and transient nonlinear analysis, implicit nonlinear analysis with contact for highly nonlinear deformation problems, and explicit nonlinear analysis for problems involving crush, crash, drops, and dynamic motion analysis.

SimEnterprise solutions allow companies to deploy role-based simulation applications and tools -- including existing MSC applications such as MSC SimDesigner, MSC SimXpert and MSC SimManager, and to integrate with third party applications and in-house or custom applications - to help speed simulation and design processes.

Based on a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA), SimEnterprise enables connectivity between designers, analysts, and other simulation workers for a collaborative design ecosystem, allowing each user to work within their preferred environments. With SimEnterprise, product development workers, regardless of application preference or global location, can collaborate and manage simulation and simulation-based design information to accelerate product development.

Providing built-in connectivity to MSC.Software's solver technology, including MD Nastran, SimEnterprise solutions allow companies to deploy role-based simulation applications and tools and to integrate with third party applications and in-house or custom applications.
