MSC.Software Introduces CAD-Embedded SimDesigner Enterprise

By DE Editors

MSC.Software Corp.(Santa Ana, CA) has released SimDesigner Enterprise, which combinesCAD-embedded multidiscipline simulation solutions with collaborationfor CATIA V5 users. SimDesigner Enterprise accelerates speed to marketand cuts engineering costs by providing design engineers with access toa wide-ranging set of integrated simulation workbenches and simulationdata management.

According to MSC.Software CEO William J. Weyand, SimDesigner Enterprisewill not only cut engineering costs, but “simulation specialists cannow focus on more complex simulation problems and get to market fasterthrough accelerated design innovation.”

The SimDesigner Enterprise bundle includes Enterprise Gateways toimprove design-CAE interoperability by enabling the output ofready-to-run simulation decks to MSC Nastran, Marc, and LS-Dyna, andsubsequently allow results to be viewed inside SimDesigner Enterprise.

SimDesigner Enterprise gives design engineers scaleable simulationtools inside the CAD environment that are easy to learn. In turn, thisenables more first-pass simulations, what-if scenarios, helpingidentify design flaws earlier in the process. The improved model reuseand data interoperability should result in allowing CAE specialists tofocus on larger, more complicated analysis problems.

Integrated workbenches include structural, motion, nonlinear, thermal,and crash simulation capabilities via direct access to embedded solverslike MD Nastran, Marc, and Adams.
