Formula Student is a contest in which university students construct a single-seat formula racing car. It’s not the fastest car that wins, however, but rather the team that racks up the highest overall score across a range of categories: design, financial planning, and sales strategy. MSC Software has provided support to various teams with its ...

Get Your Hands Dirty! – How to Run An Adams-EDEM Co-Simulation

David Curry — Mon, 20 Jun 2016 17:00:07 +0000

In my previous blog post I introduced the Adams-EDEM coupling that allows engineers to realistically simulate how bulk materials interact with their systems dynamics. In this post I want to give some insight on the workflow needed to use the coupling.

Designing Spinal Disc Prosthesis Implants Using Short Fiber Reinforced Composites Spinal injury and the gradual deterioration of spinal discs that lead to back pain or spinal disorders can be treated surgically. One of the most promising surgical options under continuous development is the use of artificial discs to replace the patient’s natural spinal disc. ...

Left of Test: How Manufacturing Variability Affects Material Properties

Product Marketing — Tue, 24 May 2016 17:00:54 +0000

For manufacturers, materials property data plays a significant role in strengthening product design, manufacturing process, after market performance and profitability. This is mainly because knowing property data gives manufacturers the ability to determine engineering property matrix. Uncontrollable and unscalable variation of material property can result in lack of prediction, thus governance on the material behavior ...

Why Traditional Data Management Methods Are No Longer Efficient for Simulation

Product Marketing — Mon, 23 May 2016 17:00:16 +0000

There are several engineering software environments that cover a broad range of products, derivatives, duty cycles, and multi-stage/multi-discipline simulations. Some manufacturers have a regulatory environment or liability issues that require them to use and document all the simulation activities they have performed, or the ones they need to optimize, which can mean that every simulation ...

Multibody Dynamics Integrated with Simulation Process and Data Management

Product Marketing — Wed, 18 May 2016 17:00:10 +0000

Today, manufacturing firms are avoiding iterative and costly physical testing processes by implementing CAE tools into their engineering cycle. They only produce few or sometimes no prototypes at all and they easily test the products’ durability, noise and vibration harshness (NVH), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and morewith these tools during the design process. Particularly ...
