About MSC Software
Simulating Reality, Delivering Certainty
MSC Software, part of Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division, is one of the ten original software companies and the worldwide
leader in multidiscipline simulation. As a trusted partner, MSC Software helps companies improve quality, save time and reduce costs
associated with design and test of manufactured products. Academic institutions, researchers, and students employ MSC technology
to expand individual knowledge as well as expand the horizon of simulation. MSC Software’s engineering simulation technology is
used by leading manufacturers for linear and nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA), acoustics, fluid-structure interaction (FSI), multi-
physics, optimization, fatigue and durability, multi-body dynamics, and control systems simulation. The company’s products
accurately and reliably predict how products will behave in the real world to help engineers design more innovative products - quickly
and cost effectively.
MSC Software Corporation was formed in 1963 and was awarded the original contract from NASA to commercialize the finite element
analysis (FEA) software known as Nastran (NASA STRuctural ANalysis). MSC pioneered many of the technologies that are now relied
upon by industry to analyse and predict stress and strain, vibration & dynamics, acoustics, and thermal analysis in our flagship product,
MSC Nastran. Today MSC is a privately owned company of the Symphony Technology Group and provides an extensive range of CAE
solutions.
Solutions
Over our rich history, MSC has developed or acquired many other well-known
CAE applications including Patran, Adams, Marc, Dytran, Fatigue, SimManager,
Easy5, Sinda, Digimat, Simufact, Actran and MSC Apex. We are committed to
the continued development of new CAE technology that integrates disciplines
and technologies from standalone CAE tools into unified multi-discipline solvers
and user environments. These “next generation” products enable engineers to
improve the reliability and accuracy of their virtual prototypes by including
multi-physics and multi-discipline interactions. MSC is also the CAE industry’s
leader in extending simulation to the engineering enterprise. Our customers
recognize the need to scale the benefits of virtual prototyping and testing from
pockets of experts to mainstream engineering and product development, and
MSC offers the only Simulation Data and Process Management platform in the
world that has been successfully deployed in industries including automotive,
aerospace, shipbuilding, energy, electronics, and more. MSC Software employs
1,400 professionals in more than 20 countries.
MSC Software makes products that enable engineers to validate and optimize
their designs using virtual prototypes. Customers in almost every part of manufacturing use our software to complement, and in
some cases even replace the physical prototype “build and test” process that has traditionally been used in product design.

ADM703c – Writing User Subroutines in Adams/Solver
Objective
This seminar is intended for experienced Adams users wanting to create Adams/Solver user subroutines. Initial setup with pre-
existing libraries is considered, followed by the types of Adams/Solver elements which can be over-ridden. Dealing with user
input is considered along with usage of the many built-in utility subroutines. Querying Adams/Solver for system state
information (displacements, velocities, forces, etc.) is covered in detail, followed by initialization (IFLAG) and differencing
(DFLAG) considerations. Callback subroutine functionality is presented for easy detection of simulation events (convergence,
simulation start/end, saving/reloading, etc.) and considerations for threadsafe computations are discussed.
Students are expected to be comfortable with simple programming tasks in Fortran; this class does not provide a formal nor
comprehensive introduction to the Fortran programming language.
