MSC.Software Corporation

MSC.Software Corporation is a leading provider of mechanical computer-aided engineering (MCAE) software solutions. The company's MCAE solutions are intended to allow the design-to-manufacture team greater freedom to innovate design concepts, optimize complex solutions and exploit materials as a design variable. MSC develops and supports several MCAE software products, including:

• MSC.Nastran -the world standard in finite element analysis solutions. Proven and relied upon by the world's leading manufacturing companies, MSC.Nastran provides unmatched user functionality and flexibility. This is achieved through superior capabilities in dynamics, optimization, linear statics, normal modes, response spectrum, heat transfer, nonlinear and aeroelastic analysis.
• MSC.Patran - recognized for its flexibility and depth of functionality. The combination of its comprehensive CAD integration tools, unmatched meshing capabilities, and consistent support of multiple simulation technologies has made MSC.Patran the preferred simulation environment for all leading solvers.
• MSC.Marc - an advanced finite element system focused on nonlinear design and analysis. In addition to a unique ability to solve very large problems in parallel using the domain decomposition technique, MSC.Marc is known for great depth in solution procedures, material models, and element technology. Whether your design is of steel, rubber, plastic, glass, or concrete, MSC.Marc can be used to solve the problem.

MSC.Software provides best-in-class complementary engineering software and services to the FLUENT user community. MSC.Patran and MSC.Nastran formats are directy interfaced, meeting the needs of FLUENT users who prefer to use Patran for preprocssing.
