MSC.Software Announces Integrated Enterprise Simulation

By DE Editors

MSC.Software (Santa Ana, CA) released SimEnterprise R3, an integrated simulation solution for the PTC Product Development Solutions that is said to improve virtual product development efficiency.

MSC.Software's Advanced Enterprise Simulation Technology provides PTC users with the ability to enhance the efficiency of product development resources, automate best practices for CAE, and share or reuse information analysis.

MSC.Software's SimEnterprise solutions allow users of PTC's CAD and PDM applications to enhance their design environment efficiency through virtual test and validation while increasing the level of analysis through SimEnterprise.

SimEnterprise solutions, which provide several distinct layers of simulation functionality that are fully integrated with PTC applications, begin with the industry leading capabilities of MD Nastran for linear, nonlinear, and thermal analysis along with MD Adams for motion — coupled with other integrated analysis capabilities for noise, vibration, and explicit analyses like drop test.

PTC users can also select a next generation integrated pre- and postprocessing environment exposing all disciplines in a multi-workspace environment with unique facilities for best-practice capture of simulation methods.

Captured best practice CAE methods can be directly distributed to Pro/E CAD users using MSC.Software's SimDesigner Enterprise template capability. SimManager can be combined for a complete, end-to-end enterprise simulation environment that enables integration with Windchill, plus SimEnterprise's flexible Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) allows PTC users to start anywhere, tailoring the next generation enterprise simulation solution to maximize their efficiencies.
