FEATI Launched MSC Software

FEATI University launched a partnership venture with MSC Software Corporation at the A & B Solaire Resort & Casino Entertainment City on May 7, 2019. The venture establishes FEATI as the 1st MSC Philippine Center of Excellence in the country.

MSC stands for MacNeal-Schwendler Corporation as the company was founded by Dr. Richard MacNeal and Robert Schwendler in 1963. The company developed its first structural analysis software called SADSAM (Structural Analysis by Digital Simulation of Analog Methods). This was used in the aerospace industry to improve early finite element analysis technology. In the 1960s, the company developed NASTRAN (NASA Structural Analysis), a general purpose structural analysis program in response to NASA's request for proposal (RFP). The commercial version of NASTRAN is called MSC/NASTRAN which can be used by the industry to analyze and predict stress and strain, vibration and dynamics, acoustics, and thermal analysis.
