MSC Software Chooses Siemens Software Components

MSC Software Corp. has licensed Siemens’ D-Cubed software components for use in a significant new MSC Software solution. MSC Software selected the D-Cubed 2D DCM (Dimensional Constraint Manager) and the D-Cubed 3D DCM from Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software business unit to provide the geometric constraint solving capability that is fundamental to many modern computer-aided design, manufacturing (CAD/CAM), and CAE software applications. This decision, by one of the most recognized software brands throughout the global manufacturing community, is considered a significant milestone in Siemens’ continuing expansion as a global supplier of open software solutions. 

"We are working on fundamentally redefining how CAE will be done going forward and we intend for D-Cubed software components to be part of this important effort,” stats Ken Welch, vice president strategy & product management, MSC Software. “We found the D-Cubed components provided exceptional functionality, performance, and reliability. Siemens has proven itself a reliable provider of these core technologies, so we have complete confidence they will meet the high quality standards we have established with our global customer base.”

“We are very pleased that MSC Software has selected our D-Cubed geometric constraint solvers,” comments Paul Sicking, senior vice president, chief technology officer, Siemens PLM Software. “This represents a major milestone in the usage of D-Cubed components for the CAE market as well as expansion of many successful years of technology cross-licensing between MSC Software and Siemens PLM Software.”
