In 1965 NASA asked a small company called MSC to predict how a Moon rocket would behave — before it was built. The answer was NASTRAN. Sixty years on, SimEvolution puts that same heritage to work on your next product.
Scroll to take the vehicle apart — each component is engineered with a dedicated simulation discipline from the MSC portfolio.
Abort separation is a violent multi-body event. Adams resolves the kinematics, jettison loads and clearance margins in milliseconds of simulated flight.
Explore Adams →The structure that keeps people alive. Nastran — the direct descendant of NASA's NASTRAN — verifies stiffness, strength and vibration modes.
Explore Nastran →The vehicle's brain. ODYSSEE fuses simulation with live telemetry into a digital twin — AI-driven prediction while the mission flies.
Explore ODYSSEE →Kilometres of welds under cryogenic pressure. Simufact simulates the welding and forming processes so distortion is engineered out before production.
Explore Simufact →Acoustic and vibration fatigue concentrate here. CAEfatigue predicts durability life under the full random-load spectrum of ascent.
Explore CAEfatigue →Supersonic airflow, base heating and plume interaction. Cradle CFD captures the fluid dynamics that no wind tunnel can fully reproduce.
Explore Cradle CFD →The tools SimEvolution delivers today didn't start as products. They started as the answer to one impossible question: how do you engineer a machine no one can prototype?
“The Apollo engineers flew the rocket a thousand times in the computer before it ever left the pad. That is what we help you do — with your product.”SimEvolution — simulate first, build once
From concept to certification — an integrated simulation suite covering every physics across the product lifecycle.
The industry-standard FEA solver — direct descendant of the code that certified Apollo. Strength, dynamics, and aeroelasticity.
Structures →Multi-body dynamics for mechanisms in motion — suspension, actuation, separation events and full-system loads.
Motion →Thermal and fluid simulation from electronics cooling to supersonic aerodynamics — fast, accurate, engineer-friendly.
Fluids →AI and machine learning for CAE — real-time prediction, reduced-order models and digital twins fed by live data.
Digital twin →Advanced fatigue and durability — predicts crack-initiation life under realistic random loading spectra.
Durability →Coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian solver for crash, impact, blast, fluid-structure interaction and bird strike.
Transient dynamics →Manufacturing simulation for welding, additive and forming — optimise the process before cutting tooling.
Manufacturing →Explore the complete SimEvolution portfolio — structural, fluid, manufacturing and digital-twin solutions.
Full portfolio →From launch vehicles to passenger cars — simulation expertise for the most demanding engineering challenges.

SimEvolution is the exclusive Nordic delivery partner for the MSC Nastran / Cadence simulation portfolio — including structural, motion, fluid, acoustic, manufacturing and AI-driven simulation tools — serving engineering teams in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.
MSC Nastran traces back to NASTRAN, developed in the 1960s by the MacNeal-Schwendler Corporation (MSC) for NASA to predict the structural behaviour of the Saturn V rocket before it was built, including for the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. NASTRAN was inducted into the Space Technology Hall of Fame in 1988.
SimEvolution covers structural analysis (MSC Nastran), multibody dynamics (Adams), explicit impact/crash (Dytran), CFD (Cradle CFD), manufacturing process simulation (Simufact), fatigue (CAEfatigue), vibro-acoustics (Actran), AI-driven reduced order modelling (ODYSSEE) and simulation data management (SimManager).
