By DE Editors

MSC.Software (Santa Ana, CA) announced the 2008 release of its complete engineering analysis suite as well as its MD Technologies — a core component of MSC SimEnterprise that includes MD Nastran and MD Adams.

The concurrent release highlights the seamless path that leverages existing MSC.Software single analysis point tools to MD’s multiple discipline analysis. MD complements MSC.Software’s engineering foundation technology with enhanced solver integration that enables greater simulation accuracy and improved system level analysis, to reduce the gap between systems simulation and physical testing.

The 2008 release of the MSC Engineering Analysis Product Suite provides a common technology foundation for the company’s MD Solutions while providing users with the best available technology for single discipline problems. By investing and building upon these MSC.Software technology foundation tools, customers have forward compatible access to the complete SimEnterprise solution set.

This integrated solution set ranges from traditional engineering point-solutions to integrated multidiscipline solutions and expands into simulation process management and automation. It includes enhancements to Nastran, Marc, Dytran, Adams, Patran, and Easy5. In the 2008 engineering analysis release direct connectivity to SimEnterprise is enabled to ensure that MSC.Software customers can use today’s products with next generation technology in an interoperable way.
