Our technology offering includes CAD linked solutions for parametric conceptual studies right through to detailed manufacturing simulations and detailed operational event simulations.
EDEM
EDEMTM is the world`s first general-purpose CAE tool to use state-of-the-art discrete element modeling technology for the simulation and analysis of particle handling and manufacturing operations.
With EDEM you can quickly and easily create a parameterized model of your granular solids system. CAD models of real particles can be imported to obtain an accurate representation of their shape. Add the mechanical, material and other physical properties to form your model particles. These can be stored in a library allowing you to build a collection specific to your processes.
EDEM manages information about each individual particle (mass, temperature, velocity and so on) and the forces acting on it. It can also take into account the particle’s shape, rather than assuming that all particles are spherical. For post-processing, EDEM provides data analysis tools and 3D visualizations of the particle flow.
EDEM`s Particle FactoryTM technology provides a unique method for efficiently generating assemblies of particles in association with the machine geometry imported from your CAD or CAE system as a solid model or mesh. Machine components can be grouped; you can specify the kinematics of each group individually.
EDEM can be coupled directly with CFD software to model solid-fluid phase systems at the particle-scale. This uniquely enables modeling of systems where particle-particle and particle-wall interaction is critical to system behavior.
EDEM is a powerful addition to any suite of CAE tools. Use its unique capability to give you new insights into your particulate processing and manufacturing operations.

MSC.MasterKey
The MasterKey License System provides you with the ability to take advantage of the breadth and depth of MSC.Software`s world class simulation software portfolio within a flexible licensing system, allowing you to use whatever simulation tools you want, whenever you need them.
MasterKey utilizes a token-based method, which provides the most effective and efficient implementation of your investment in product development, including an unrivaled breadth and depth in product access to a complete suite of engineering tools. MasterKey is tailored to your unique environment to maximize your productivity and stretch your engineering budget.
The MasterKey Method
With the token-based method, you purchase a pool of tokens. Your tokens are checked out from the pool and are used to access and run a full range of CAE solutions available under the MasterKey License System from MSC.Software. Each individual software item requires a certain number of tokens to run. After each use, your tokens are returned to the pool for other use. There are over 100 different software items available under the MasterKey License System.

SimEnterprise
Productivity for the Engineering Enterprise
The companies that excel in a global economy will be those that can respond quickly to changing customer expectations, business opportunities, economic conditions, and technology advances. Historically, companies have used physical prototyping to verify that new products meet the rigorous demands of the real world. This has been rapidly changing as companies transform themselves to respond with speed and flexibility to a changing global business landscape. They are relying more and more on simulation in place of physical test for the product innovation process. As simulation moves to the forefront of product development, simulation itself must evolve from disconnected, inconsistent practices to accurate and reliable methods that can be shared across engineering disciplines, user communities, organizational boundaries and global geographies.
Based on a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA), SimEnterprise enables open connectivity between designers, analysts, and other simulation stakeholders for a highly collaborative design ecosystem, allowing each stakeholder to work within their preferred environments. SimEnterprise also integrates seamlessly with existing software and hardware systems, maximizing the utilization of existing engineering assets while evolving the simulation process to a new level of business value.
Leveraging MSC Software`s multi-discipline solvers, MD Nastran and MD ADAMS, SimEnterprise solutions allow companies to effectively and realistically simulate the functional performance of their products in order to save time and money while simultaneously improving product quality. SimEnterprise makes simulation an integral part of the engineering business by empowering expert analysts, engineers, and designers across the extended engineering enterprise to share best-practice methods, models, and other critical information from MSC, in-house, or 3rd party applications. Managers, suppliers, and other stakeholders can easily access, find, and reuse this information to accelerate simulation and product development processes.
