MSC Software is the industry leader in developing simulation software technology that enables engineers to validate and optimize their designs using virtual prototypes. Customers in almost every part of the manufacturing process use our software to complement, and in some cases even replace the physical prototype “build and test” process that has traditionally been used in product design. As a trusted partner, MSC Software helps companies improve quality, save time, and reduce costs associated with the design and test of manufactured products. Our solutions accurately and reliably predict how products will behave in the real world to help engineers design more innovative products - quickly and cost effectively. MSC Software's technology is used by leading manufacturers for linear and nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA), acoustics, fluid-structure interaction (FSI), multi-physics, optimization, fatigue and durability, multi-body dynamics, and control systems simulation. MSC pioneered many of the technologies that are now relied upon by industry leaders to analyze and predict stress and strain, vibration & dynamics, acoustics, and thermal analysis in our flagship product, MSC Nastran. MSC Software will be offering a variety of its simulation software tools for finite element analysis as well as multibody dynamics. Among these offerings our Academic Motion that includes Adams/Car for vehicle dynamics and durability simulation. As well as Adams Real-Time modules for generating real-time vehicle models suitable for software in-the-loop and hardware in-the-loop simulations.

The Academic bundles offered are as follows:

•  Academic Structures Bundle: Provides linear and non-linear finite element analysis (FEA) capabilities for structural & thermal simulations as well as others such as those involving impacts and fluid-structure interactions; based on the latest versions of MSC Nastran, Patran, Dytran, Marc, and Sinda.

• Academic Motion Bundle: Provides capabilities for a wide variety of multi-body motion and mechanical system simulations, including hydraulics & controls, using a geometric modeling approach or a schematic, block-diagram modeling approach; based on Adams and Easy5.

Engineering Software, Training and Support to Academic Institutions and student competition teams

For student competition teams, everything is zero cost: software, tech support and online training courses.
For universities’ faculty we offer a very large discount for use in engineering courses and academic research.

Siemens’ Academic Partnership Program provides engineering software, online training and technical support to schools and student teams to improve the ability to develop top-notch engineers and technologists for great careers in industry, such as automotive and aerospace. The program is the most comprehensive of its kind, serving students at thousands of universities worldwide, and uniquely offers integrated software tools for every engineering and manufacturing discipline. The extensive software range includes electrical systems and semiconductor design (Siemens’ Mentor brand), as well as mechanical, embedded software, manufacturing, design and simulation tools that enables the ‘Digital Twin’ methodology used by all the top-tier student teams.

For student teams, there’s a great forum full of tutorials and even free cloud-computing for CFD simulation. For more details on software available, click here for an overview of software most relevant to student competition teams. And here and here for even more info.

Siemens is the largest and most comprehensive engineering software company in the world – and we want to enable your future. If you are interested in becoming an academic partner, please fill out the software grant application to let us know your information and which software you’re interested in.
