MSC Software Announces MSC Apex, the World's First Computational Parts Based CAE SystemNEWPORT BEACH, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- MSC Software Corporation, today announced the release of the company's next-generation complete Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) platform, MSC Apex™. MSC Apex is the world's first computational parts™ based CAE system that will serve as the platform for a broad range of physics and applications that MSC (News - Alert) Software will introduce over time. MSC Apex transforms the way engineers perform simulation by reducing critical CAE modeling and process time from days to hours. The platform delivers innovative technology that enables predictive product development in the earlier stages of design where it is critical in saving time and money.

"We rethought the process, and have found many opportunities to deliver dramatic productivity improvements to engineers and analysts. Our team rearranged the way in which the components of geometry modeling, solving, and post processing relate to each other, moving away from a serial process to an interactively connected process based on a new parts and assembly paradigm." "MSC Apex addresses key pain points of its big analysis customers and, with the same broad stroke, opens the door for MSC Software to meet the broader needs of smaller firms, who have not been part of MSC's core customer base. The concept of computational parts makes it feasible for firms to push exploratory analysis into the hands of those without deep expertise in analysis. This has the potential to dramatically reshape engineering workflows. MSC Apex could be transformational for MSC," said Brad Holtz, President and CEO, Cyon Research. Highlights of the MSC Apex platform include:
"Using MSC Apex, the time required to prepare the model and mesh was reduced from 8 hours to 1 hour," said Mitsubishi Hitachi (News - Alert) Power Systems / RSG@Takasago.
"MSC Apex is so easy to use and yet so enjoyable. I complete the same amount of work in a half day rather than 3-4 days," said Kaban Makina.
