Fatigue Analysis: A Virtual Durability Process with the MSC One Portfolio
Discover how the MSC.One porfolio can help calculate the durability of products and assess fatigue.
FEA Simulation: Democratising Co-Simulation with MSC CoSim
MSC CoSim allows us to couple simulation solvers to solve multi-physics problems. We couple FEA with CFD to explore how this can be achieved.
Fluid Structure Interaction in CAE
The relationship between fluid flow and mechanical performance of a system can be complex. The shape of the structure affects the flow pattern around it, while the pressures from the flow can deform the structure thereby affecting the flow. Think of an aircraft wing. If we model the fluid flow around the wing using the geometry straight from CAD we are not getting an accurate picture – the wing is a very flexible structure and undergoes a lot of bending.
Extending the Capability of SOLIDWORKS Motion with MSC Adams
SOLIDWORKS Motion is a kinematics/dynamics simulation environment for moving assemblies, embedded within the CAD system. It does a great job of using assembly constraints to automatically create joints in a mechanism and allows you to simulate the range of motion of a system giving you insight into the dynamic behaviour and component forces needed for sizing analysis. In this blog we’ll take a look at how MSC Adams expands on the capabilities of SOLIDWORKS Motion.
