MSC Software acquires Simufact

Newport Beach, Calif.-based MSC Software has announced the acquisition of Simufact Eng., a provider of simulation tools for metal forming and welding processes.

"Too often, our customers tell me that poorly understood manufacturing processes result in products that don't function as designed and simulated," said Dominic Gallello, president and CEO of MSC Software. "By connecting Simufact's manufacturing process-oriented tools to design simulation, we can better assist our customers with their drive for 'first time right.’"
