Hands-On Workshop: Simulation of Manufacturing Processes

Throughout April and June 2016, MSC will be offering a series of free, hands-on workshops that will teach engineers how to simulate complex manufacturing processes such as forming, joining and welding. In addition to providing an overview of the use of finite element analysis (FEA) in various process simulations, these workshops will give you an opportunity …

MBD models the full dynamics of large systems

MBD software goes much further than kinematics tool by providing large displacement dynamics modeling capabilities that capture the full gamut of real-world complexity. MBD tools overcome the limitations of FEA by modeling rigid bodies, flexible bodies, springs, damper, joints and other mechanical components while substantially reducing the time required both to create and solve the …

Extending the Life of Subsea Drilling Equipment

Subsea drilling is conducted through a string of steel pipe called a rigid riser that runs from the oil rig to the blowout preventer (BOP). The primary purpose of the BOP is to cut off the flow of oil in the event of an emergency during drilling. As the oil rig moves with waves and …

Polestar Racing: Accuracy to the second or third decimal place

Race car engineering is a notoriously competitive environment in which the minutest aspects of design and the smallest adjustments can separate the winners from the losers. To stay on top of the game, Polestar Racing uses Adams to evaluate different vehicle designs in critical areas of the track such as corners. Adams/Car allows Polestar to …

Adams helps solve a rotary wing stability problem, saves 6 months

The Saab Skeldar V200 is a unique and exciting entrant in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market, which is dominated by fixed wing aircraft. As a rotary wing aircraft, the Skeldar does not need runways to take-off or land from and can hover in one position. Skeldar is designed for land- and sea-based patrol, light …

Marc accurately predicts results of dynamic tensile extrusion test

In a wide range of industrial and defense applications, material are required to perform at extreme operating conditions involving large plastic deformation, high strain rates, elevated temperatures and severe dynamic pressure. Some examples of this application are perforating guns in the oil and gas industry, debris impact in aerospace engineering and ship collisions in naval engineering. …
