Physics-based engineering simulation of computer generated

prototypes that can predict product performance

Predictive, virtual assessment of new innovations early in the

development cycle leads to smarter decisions

Will it work?

Will it break? Will it last?

Will it operate safely?

Will it meet comfort

requirements?

Can we make it?

Simulation is Helping Product Manufacturers

Severe environmental condition during launch and life

Human intervention excluded or extremely limited

Need test on ground

- NOT ALL POSSIBLE

- HIGH COST

- DEVIATION FROM REALITY

Help design

Increase Reliability

Why Simulation for Spatial Industry ?

Allow more analysis

Allow optimization

What? The MSC Software Research Assist Program is an

ecosystem development program aimed at stimulating

innovation within research and academic

communities.

Who? Enrolled in an accredited Masters, PhD or post doctoral

program, or involved in a non-profit research project

at a recognized research lab or institution.

Why? - Access to world class CAE software

- No cost burden

- Technology sharing and cross licensing options

- Opportunity to participate in research award contest and

win prizes

- Opportunity to present/participate in MSC user

conferences at no charge

- Free training in many of the regularly scheduled MSC

training classes

• New Supplemental Adams Tutorial Kit

specifically for Design of Machinery

courses at Universities

• The kit contains 14 Beginner exercises, 4

Intermediate exercises, 4 problem examples

directly from the Norton Text book, and 4

Adams/Machinery examples. The text book

we selected was Design of Machinery

by Robert L. Norton

• Norton Textbook is currently used in over 100

schools in the U.S. and Canada and in many

more worldwide in both English and several

other languages

• Next Editions:

– German, Chinese versions for Machinery
