MSE addresses the interest of everyone involved in product development processes. To traditionally trained developers most of these activities are nowadays characterized by pitfalls and traps, introduced as a consequence of the high demands of engineering tools. MSE's products and services assist in making the right decisions regarding product shape, material selection, quality control and development and production times. Taking advantage of the opportunities presented here implies the introduction into key Computer Aided Engineering disciplines.
Adopting our State of the Art products and services will bring you:
- Reduced Product Development Cycle Times Þ Shorter Time to Market
- Improved and Controlled Quality Þ Reduced failure
- Enhanced Flexibility in Modifying Designs Þ Just in Time
- Minimized Materials and Production Costs Þ Lowest price
In particular MSE focuses on:
- Supply of Leading Edge Analysis and Simulation Software
- Theoretical and Applied Structural Analysis Education
- Structural Analysis and Mould Injection Simulation Consultancy
MSE b.v. is involved in major Concurrent Engineering disciplines,
ranging from:
- Evaluations of structural integrity under static and dynamic loading conditions
while considering both linear and non-linear deformation behavior
to - Determinations of mould filling and cooling phenomena, including shrinkage predictions, avoidance of warpage, stress evaluations and optimization.
Co-operating with MSE in your product development process means spending less time
and money as a consequence of:
- Avoidance of learning by trial and error
- Less prototypes manufactured and tested
- Detailed insight in products' load carrying capacity
- Low production costs based reduced material usage, and known processing window.
QUALITY STANDARD
Different from Western industries managing to establish broadly accepted quality and certification standards such as ISO-9000 software developers have shown unable to agree on common warranties regarding absense of bugs and adequate applications of their products. Those writing FEM software have a more valid excuse than others, in view of their computational results being of approximative nature, while requiring users to be familiar with Applied Mechanics and basic principles of this solution method.
Moreover, the know-how and expertise required to enable generation of useful analysis outcomes changes from one application to another, making the definition of standards even more difficult.
The most usefull and widespread quality standard tailored to FEM technology is offered by U.K. based NAFEMS*. It covers a broad area of applications, while being introduced worldwide by an increasing numbers of both software users and developers.
Popular FEM software packages have numbers of code lines often exceeding 1.000.000, making it almost impossible to have them completely free of bugs. Nevertheless rules and guidelines have been defined to verify their dependability for the majority of practical applications. Apart from FEM software quality NAFEMS focusses on know-how and education of users.
In striving for maximum confidence of its customers MSE studied and introduced NAFEMS' quality system, while appending them with additional provisions, test examples, etc. MSE stimulates judicious software applications in teaching courses and training sessions, while focusing attention at both Applied Mechanics and FEM theoretical backgrounds and intensive coaching of participants processing their analysis projects.
Issues being considered when selecting new software products to be marketed, include:
- Careful evaluation of producers background, involvement and credibility;
- Product acceptance by others;
- Meeting of quality standards;
- Help desk responsiveness.
