FN Herstal Invests in MSC.ADAMS to Improve Virtual Product
Development Process FN Herstal SA, part of the HERSTAL Group and
Makers of Browning and Winchester Small Arms, Invests in MSC.ADAMS
to Improve the Development and Mechanical Performance of Small Arms
SANTA ANA, Calif., Jan. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MSC.Software
Corp. (NYSE:MNS), the leading global provider of virtual product
development (VPD) products including simulation software and
services, today announced that FN Herstal, part of the HERSTAL
GROUP and makers of Browning and Winchester small arms, has
invested in MSC.ADAMS to improve their development process and the
mechanical performance of their products. MSC.ADAMS will be used
primarily for mechanical system simulation of small arms mechanisms
in order to improve product performance. "MSC.Software has a
powerful offering for manufacturers of all kinds of mechanical
products, especially those who need powerful tools to simulate high
speed performance of complex mechanisms," says Frank Perna,
chairman and chief executive officer of MSC.Software. "The
MSC.ADAMS product is a very strong piece of our SimOffice product
portfolio and the worldwide standard in multi- body motion
simulation. We look forward to working with the engineers at FN
Herstal as they continue to develop some of the world's most
recognizable small arms brands." "To improve the quality of our
products, we have been looking for a multi-body tool with good
contact simulation capabilities to meet our needs," said Xavier
Gavage, R&D Project Manager at FN Herstal SA. "After
benchmarking several tools, and an assessment period of one month,
we found that MSC.ADAMS was exactly what we were looking for. With
the use of MSC.ADAMS, I expect to get a deeper insight into the
mechanisms, especially during the design phase of the products.
Since we are now able to explore numerous designs by doing more
iteration virtually, we are confident to reduce the number of
prototypes. Besides the good contact-to-contact simulation
possibilities, it was the solver efficiency and the short
calculation time that impressed us most. More quality in less time
was more than convincing." About FN Herstal The HERSTAL GROUP is
