Alibre and MSC.Software have partnered to offer MSC.visualNastran Motion simulation as a component of Alibre Design Expert.*

MSC.visualNastran Motion allows you take existing models and assemblies created in Alibre Design Expert and perform mechanical simulations, which emulate your physical testing situations.

Start by integrating your Alibre Design model into the MSC.visualNastran Motion environment; just select MSC.visualNastran Motion from the Add-on option in the Tools menu to launch the Motion Add-on with your current model automatically loaded. Then start developing a working virtual prototype using MSC.visualNastran's rich selection of motion constraints and simulation tools.

Now you can quickly predict collision detection, and performance measures that allow you to understand the functional characteristics of your design before building and testing physical prototypes. Design ideas can be tried and evaluated in a matter of minutes at almost zero cost.

With the purchase of Alibre Design Expert, this version of MSC.visualNastran Motion will run for one year. To learn more about the product in general, for more detail on specific features, or to extend MSC.visualNastran Motion functionality, contact Alibre sales at 877-525-4273 or email sales@alibre.com.

*At this time MSC.visualNastran Motion is only available to Alibre Design Expert customers in the United States and Canada.
