MSC.Software Corp. , the leading global provider of virtual product development products including simulation software and services, today announces MSC.Dynamic Designer for Autodesk Inventor has been certified by Autodesk for Autodesk Inventor 10. The Autodesk certification program ensures that MSC.Software products have met the high standards for robustness, quality and interoperability with the Autodesk Inventor 3D mechanical design system. MSC.Dynamic Designer provides the Autodesk Inventor user with the ability to solve design related problems associated with the physical behavior and dynamic motion of their assemblies that would normally be discovered late in the product development cycle without leaving the Autodesk Inventor environment. "Autodesk Inventor provides the ability to build realistic 3D solid models. With the addition of MSC.Dynamic Designer embedded inside Autodesk Inventor, users can take that assembly a step further, to understand how the design will actually function before any hardware is built and without leaving the familiar Inventor environment," said Mike Brewster, Business Development Manager, MSC.Software. "The worlds most powerful motion simulation is now right where it needs to be: in the engineer's and designer's hands to be used during the critical design phases of product development." "We are pleased that MSC.Software, a leader in Virtual Product Development, continues to provide the easy-to-use, yet powerful MSC.Dynamic Designer software to our Inventor customers," said Richard Runnells, Manager, Partner Programs for Autodesk's Manufacturing Solutions Division. "MSC.Dynamic Designer allows them to manufacture their Autodesk Inventor designs easily and efficiently. MSC.Dynamic Designer's continued participation in the Autodesk Inventor Certified Applications Program enables us to jointly offer important functionality to our customers."
