About Me

This blog contains my professional thoughts as a veteran of the CAE industry.

I am Jeff Waters, a member of the MSC Software team. MSC is highly respected for tackling the toughest of CAE challenges and services the most serious of CAE experts. MSC is currently going through a significant evolution, and I’m excited to be a part of it.

The opinions expressed here are my own, however, and should not be attributed to MSC Software.

Prior to joining MSC, I helped grow market awareness of 3D Direct Modeling with SpaceClaim. Such history-free design tools help bridge the often-painful gap between CAE tools and traditional, history-based CAD tools. Therefore, you’ll see more of a focus on optimizing the geometry step of the CAE process in my 2008-2010 era posts.

Prior to joining SpaceClaim in late 2008, I spent 9 years defining the “upfront” CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) category with Blue Ridge Numerics and its groundbreaking CFdesign simulation tool. So, most of my 2007-2008 era posts deal more with the best ways to implement upfront CAE with multi-tasking, non-specialist, “Joe Sixpack” engineers.

I also occasionally write about other topics that interest me; including personal productivity, innovation, technology, and travel.

I welcome your questions, comments, and ideas anytime. Please email, call, or post a comment to any of my articles for an open discussion.
