MSC will continue to run as an independent business unit within Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence (MI) division. The acquisition is subject to clearance and standard regulatory filings and is expected to be complete in April of 2017. xdb file formats, with extraction of displacements, stresses, mass properties, and eigenvalues.Users of the Patran component also use the following components:CATIA component, Nastran component, ProE component, Unigraphics component, VCollab component.NEWPORT BEACH, CA / ACCESSWIRE / Febru/ MSC Software Corporation announced today that it has reached an agreement to be bought by Hexagon AB. It also provides output support for Nastran. It provides input support and graphical selection of FEA parameters such as element thickness, cross-sectional area, materials properties, loads, and nodal coordinates. This component can be used together with Isight design drivers to perform Patran optimization, Patran DOE, or Patran Monte Carlo simulation.The component supports extraction of variables from the Patran database (.db) file. Users of the Nastran component also use the following components: Catia component, Optimization Stress Ratio plugin, Patran component, Pro/E component, Unigraphics component.Exchange FEA data with Patran, execute Nastran and other solversThe Patran component creates a direct link to Patran, allowing the user to graphically specify analysis input and output parameters within the Patran user interface and to control execution of Nastran, Marc, and other solvers. Furthermore, input card support is configurable and extendible by the end-user through a configuration file to allow support for any additional input cards. This component can be used together with Isight design drivers to perform Nastran optimization, DOE, Monte Carlo simulation.The component provides default support for a variety of input cards including MAT1, MAT4, MAT8, PSHELL, PBEAM, PELAS, PBAR, PROD, PSHEAR, FORCE, FORCE1, FORCE2, MOMENT, MOMENT1, MOMENT2, PLOAD, PLOAD2, GRAV, GRID. Exchange data with and execute MSC.NastranThe Nastran component creates a direct link to Nastran, allowing the user to modify a reference Nastran input deck, execute the Nastran solver, and extract results from an.
