aeroAerospace and Defense
Faster, higher, farther, and more accurate systems

The aerospace and defense industry is always pushing the envelope for faster, higher, farther, and more accurate systems. System complexity is increasing and more and more aerospace vehicles are interdependent on other vehicles and support equipment. The development of new vehicles involves risks that are not seen in any other industry.

There is help to tackle the challenges of developing more sophisticated aircraft and spacecraft vehicles. A suite of software tools is available to design, validate, manufacture, and operate these new systems. Template based simulation tools allow complex systems to be quickly assembled from components and subsystems. Parametric capability allows complete design variations to be explored, using Monte Carlo, DOE, robust design, and optimization techniques. And high performance computing and simulation data management tools are available to provide the infrastructure required to simulate your systems fast and efficiently.

MSC Software is the leader in providing simulation tools to the aerospace and defense industry for the last 40 years. Products like MSC Nastran, Patran, Adams, Marc, and Easy5 have proven themselves again and again on all of the major aerospace programs. And a new generation of tools and capabilities are now proving themselves developing the aerospace and defense systems of the future.
