MSC FEA
Use your existing CAD models in an integrated simulation environment.

MSC FEA combines the power and ease of use of two of MSC's most popular software programs, MSC Nastran and Patran, into a cost-effective, fully integrated solution tailored for the needs of the mechanical engineer. MSC FEA combines CAD interfaces, geometric modeling, finite element pre- and postprocessing, and comprehensive analysis capabilities into a single integrated software package.
With MSC FEA, use your existing CAD models in an integrated simulation environment.

You can perform a wide variety of analysis from linear statics, heat transfer, nonlinear, dynamics, and optimization with MSC FEA using the MSC Nastran solver.


MSC FEA Benefits

• Identify design flaws earlier in their manufacturing cycles, reducing the time-to-market of their products and warranty costs, while at the same time saving on material costs without reducing the integrity of your products
• Maintain your in investment in CAD by providing un-paralleled integration with Patran's Direct CAD Access
• Utilize the industry standard MSC FEA solver, MSC Nastran
• Leverage your investment in simulation technology by using this product as part of MSC.Software's VPD Campus Licensing model

MSC FEA Applications

• Aerospace companies use MSC FEA to perform static and dynamic analysis on metal and composite airframes.
• With MSC FEA, automotive companies simulate the flexure of bodies and frames under multiple road conditions.
• Heavy equipment such as cranes is analyzed with MSC FEA to ensure that designs ensure safe operation under the severest operation conditions.
• Semiconductor manufacturers use MSC FEA to simulate the interface between layers to understand thermally induced stresses.
