We Invented CAE!

MSC Software was the first company to commercialize Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software. The race for space has not slowed down since our inception over 50 years ago and neither have we. Today, the push towards Hypersonic, Electric and Autonomous Vehicles has us moving even faster. Advances in computational hardware and software provide more opportunities to solve even harder problems. But we need your help to get us there.
