MSC Co-Simulation - where Multiphysics gets Real
Co-simulation provides engineers with a unique, more complete & holistic performance insight by coupling together multiple simulation disciplines. Everything from acoustics to multibody dynamics (MBD), Aerodynamics , hydrodynamic vibration, complex heat transfer, to structural analysis, and explicit crash dynamics can be connected together in MSC.
MSC Co-Simulation Technologies
Depending on the type of analysis, engineers can use MSC solutions in two ways – Co-Simulation (applying multiple physics to the model simultaneously) or Chained Simulation (passing load case results from one analysis to the next).
MSC CoSim Engine
The MSC CoSim Engine has been developed in order to provide a co-simulation interface for the direct coupling of different solvers/disciplines with a multi-physics framework. This first version, readily available today, enables engineers to set up co-simulation models between Adams, Marc, MSC Nastran and scFLOW.
Other Open Co-Simulation Solutions
Besides the CoSim Engine, MSC also supports a list of other co-simulation methodologies, including the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI), Adams Marc Co-Simulation Interface (ACSI) and so on.
Chained Simulation
Chained simulation allows CAE engineers from different departments to integrate multiple disciplines sequentially and improve the overall simulation accuracy. For example, passing the road loads data from an Adams Full Vehicle model to the downstream MSC Nastran model for the stress & durability analyses.

Integrated Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning - Deep Learning with CFD & FEA Simulation
Machine learning is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model building. It is a branch of Artificial Intelligence based on the idea that systems can learn from data, identify patterns and make decisions with minimal human intervention. With Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in CAE, that is Mechanical Engineering and FEA and CFD Simulations as design tools, our CAE engineers evaluate the possible changes (and limits) coming from Machine learning, whether Deep Learning (DL), or Support vector machine (SVM) or even Genetic algorithms to specify definitive influence in some optimization problems and the solution of complex systems.

The pressure reduction process induces turbulent pressure fluctuations in the flowing medium, which in turn excites the downstream pipe wall, causing stresses and potentially fatigue failure. The intensity of vibration tends to increase with mass flow rate, velocity, and pressure loss. AIV (Acoustic Induced Vibration) failures are known to occur preferentially at non-axisymmetric discontinuities in the downstream piping, such as at small-bore branches and their welded supports.
