The challenge: Test and evaluate several mesh types in the static analysis of railway car frames and optimize designs to avoid costly oversizing.

Using finite element analysis software, Key Knife saves up to $90,000 and 27 weeks of prototype development time for each new machine.

The challenge was to solve complex seismic engineering and nonlinear dynamics problems in civil, mechanical, plant and industrial engineering work.

Facing harsh ocean conditions and needing to design equipment with long product lifecycles, GustoMSC performs hull analysis and solving quickly, automates routines to determine loading conditions and interrogates results, and removes problems before manufacturing.
