MSC.AFEA combines the power of MSC.Patran, the leading finite element pre- and post-processor and the advanced FEA capabilities of MSC.Marc, to enhance your Virtual Product Development (VPD) processes. MSC.AFEA solves a wide variety of complex structural and thermal problems including coupled thermal-structural investigation.

MSC.AFEA allows access to all of MSC.Patran`s robust meshing and CAD integration tools. In addition, a multitude of sophisticated material models are supported, including composites, viscoelastic, and experimental data of elastomers for simulation using MSC.Marc. Complex contact boundary conditions and problems involving multiple load histories may also be modeled with ease. Adaptive re-meshing is included to solve difficult problems involving extreme deformations.

MSC.AFEA solves a wide range of problems, from simple linear statics to complex nonlinear contact, buckling, dynamics, and heat transfer analyses and can take full advantage of multi-processor platforms to dramatically reduce solution time.

MSC AFEA Applications

  • Most applications of components involving large deformation and / or contact
  • mulation of manufacturing operations such as sheet metal forming and deep drawing
  • Biomedical devices, including improving the performance of cardiovascular stents
  • sign and optimization of automobile components such as rubber CV boots
  • Aerospace manufacturing processes such as forming of wing skins

Benefits

  • Leverage your investment in existing design tools by providing un-paralleled integration with CAD
  • Cut large model solution times by 50 to 75% with scaleable domain decomposition parallel processing
  • Save valuable time with adaptive re-meshing to solve complex multi-body contact problems without having to review, re-mesh, and re-submit models for simulation
  • Leverage your investment in simulation technology by using this product as part of MSC.Software`s VPD Campus Licensing model
