Simulation Software
Evotech CAE Ltd have partnered with Hexagon offering technical sales and support in simulation software for their MSC One product portfolio.
As Hexagon partners, and expert users through our consulting work, Evotech are well placed to offer Hexagon’s flagship CAE platform, MSC Apex, the industry standard solver MSC Nastran, and support to new users with a specific interest in next-generation CAE software.
Evotech can offer assistance with implementation and transition to MSC Apex, along with dedicated and bespoke training.
MSC ONE Software and Licensing
MSC One is a portfolio of the most advanced simulation software. Now designers and engineers can flexibly access all the CAE software they might need with a low barrier to entry thanks to Hexagon’s unique token-based licensing system.
MSC One offers designers and engineers a smarter way to access a huge array of world-class CAE simulation software all from one flexible, subscription-based platform.
The benefits of MSC One are numerous;
- Accelerate innovation in your product line by taking advantage of simulation solutions that your company did not have access to previously.
- Improve productivity and create a flexible environment, as your project and CAE needs mature or change.
- Reduce financial risk with the ability to increase or decrease capacity as your engineering needs change.
- Reduce cost and access infrequently used CAE applications that might otherwise be difficult to justify commercially. Consolidate your CAE software suppliers to most effectively stretch your limited budget.
The full list of software products in the MSC One portfolio is continually evolving. Please contact us for the most up-to-date version.
An example of some typical MSC One license usage scenarios is given – MSC One License Usage Scenarios.
Introduction to MSC Apex
MSC Apex is next-generation CAE platform, which can sit as an integral part of an MSC Nastran and third-party solver workflows, and is used by many industries for their FEA development.
The benefits of MSC Apex are numerous;
- The use of contemporary technologies, such as CAE-specific Direct Modeling, generative model update and a Python API, can yield significant efficiency gains. Users often report a ’10x’ speed up over legacy tools.
- The modern GUI gives users an easy to learn, easy to use experience, with contextual help and video support enabled throughout the platform. Consequently, there is a very short learning curve for new users.
- The FEA model build workflow can support multiple solvers, through the common *BDF export option. If MSC Nastran is not the required FEA solver, users can simply import the *BDF file into their third-party pre-processor of choice.
Take a look at this introductory video, which demonstrates how MSC Apex can support your analysis. We cover typical workflows and key technologies, along with the licensing, trial software and the training options that are available.
MSC Apex and MSC Nastran is offered via the MSC One token-based licensing system, allowing access to the bulk of the MSC Software simulation product portfolio;
- The unit token cost of MSC Apex Modeler and Structures also enables direct usage of such MSC products as Patran, MSC Nastran, Adams and Marc (all of which interface seamlessly with Apex output).
- Efficient and flexible purchasing options are available for all end-user types from large-scale global enterprises through to single-seat consulting firms with heavy constraints on expenditure.
MSC Apex for Aerospace Structures
This video demonstrates how Apex is the best-in-class CAE tool for FEA model build, verification and embedded analysis, specifically for aerospace structures.
MSC Apex for Large Fabricated Structures
This video demonstrates how some of the new concepts and functionality within MSC Apex allows for the analysis of massive structures to generate results in a highly-efficient manner.
CAEfatigue
CAEfatigue by Hexagon is a powerful tool for predicting and analysing fatigue life in components subjected to dynamic loading. It bridges the gap between simulation and real-world durability, helping engineers identify and resolve fatigue issues early in the design process.
CAEfatigue is the recognised leader for FEA-driven vibration fatigue analysis – one of its standout features is its seamless integration with leading FEA solvers, allowing for efficient stress-life and strain-life fatigue analysis using time or frequency domain data.
This means faster results and fewer design iterations, in an intuitive environment for both novice and expert users alike.
Take a look at this introductory video to see how CAEfatigue enhances your durability workflows.
Whether you’re working in automotive, aerospace, heavy machinery, or consumer products CAEfatigue delivers the insight needed to design safer, longer-lasting products. It supports smarter material choices, lightweighting, and improved structural performance.
You can also view case studies showing how companies like Tatra Trucks and Dana use CAEfatigue in addition to other Hexagon simulation technologies to streamline development and reduce costly failures in the field.
