Marc and Mentat combine to deliver a complete solution (pre-processing, solution, and post-processing) for implicit nonlinear FEA. Marc provides the easiest to use and most robust capabilities for contact, large strain, and multiphysics analysis available today to solve static and quasi-static nonlinear problems. Finite element analysis (FEA) has become a critical part of the product development process, but most FEA programs are limited to solving within the limits of linear material properties and displacements, small strains, and small rotations. Many software providers claim to have nonlinear capabilities, but few are able to consistently and reliably solve problems involving changing contact conditions between components and/or large strain (plasticity or elastomeric behavior, for example). When the going gets tough, even some of...

Design Simulation Technologies develops, markets, and supports software products used by students, educators, and professionals to learn and teach physics principles and to use these principles to build virtual models of mechanical designs. High School and College students and educators use Interactive Physics to investigate and experiment with concept in physics. University students and educators use Working Model 2D to understand how mechanical systems work and perform without building physical models. Professional Engineers use Working Model 2D and Dynamic Designer Motion to build virtual prototypes of their mechanical designs and use these prototypes to evaluate performance.Product:MSC Interactive Physics 2004 Lanaguage:english Platform:Winxp/Win7 Size:118MB

When performing analyses in complex computing environments, engineers canquickly become overwhelmed by tasks such as copying or deleting files andworrying about memory and disk space allocation. One of the most commoncauses of fatal runs, and time loss, is inadequate disk space. Yet, many timesthere is sufficient disk space that has not been properly managed and istherefore inaccessible. These types of problems frustrate engineers, add costto projects, and increase a product\’s time-to-market.In today\’s networked computing environments, engineers frequently do theirmodeling on local workstations. They then submit their analysis jobs to serversor other licensed workstations. When submitting an analysis job, engineers havemany options available to them; they can, for example, choose from multipleplatforms and various queues. However, the resources available to each...

MSC.Fatigue is an advanced life simulator that allows analysts to easily transform finite element stress and strain results into fatigue life predictions. Fatigue analysis is a natural extension to a stress analysis. In fact, a fatigue analysis is basically a stress analysis that is subjected to repeated loads and that takes into account durability properties of a component or structure. MSC.Fatigue enables analysts to leverage traditional stress analyses with state-of-the-art methodologies for comprehensive durability simulations early in the design cycle. MSC.Fatigue takes stress or strain results from finite element (FE) models, subjects FE load environments to user-defined time variations, and applies cyclic material properties & damage logic to predict service life. MSC.Fatigue leverages the state-of-the-art results visualization capabilities of MSC.Patran...

The main objective of this study is twofold: (1) to evaluate a new 3-D metal formingsimulation package by comparing its simulation results with the simulation results of avalidated package for the same process, and (2) to optimize the feeder plate design for anextrusion die process using 3-D metal forming simulation.A new metal forming simulation package, MSC.SuperForge, has been recently introducedcommercially. This package uses a finite-volume analysis method, which is fundamentallydifferent than the finite-element analysis method used by most of the other commercialmetal forming simulation packages.A primary objective of this study is to evaluate MSC.SuperForge by comparing itssimulation results with the simulation results of DEFORM™-3D, a validated finite-elementbased forging simulation package. A 3D extrusion process using a streamlined die designwas selected...
