Reduce design cycles from weeks to days with MODSIM

Watch as MODSIM machine learning models help designers quickly identify the safest and lightest automotive roof design using Virtual Twin Physics Behaviours

Performance-driven generative design

Unified modeling and simulation (MODSIM) brings the power of simulation to designers and engineers, helping them to immediately secure evidence for excellent performance in safety strength, lightweighting and comfort before investing in details.

The generative approach allows a design engineer to innovate and stay focused on defining functional requirements by letting the system generate design alternatives.

Five ways simulation-driven design helps to make sustainable products

Consumers and regulatory organisations are calling for manufacturers to meet sustainability targets under a demanding schedule. Here's why doing so should be viewed as an opportunity rather than a cost.

Accelerate projects and cut costs

Design engineers and simulation analysts are juggling conflicting demands to reduce time to market, manage costs effectively, and roll out new features that meet ever-changing customer needs.

Traditionally, product design and simulation activities are performed as siloed disciplines, often taking a couple of weeks to complete due to using separate - and possibly incompatible - software.

By uniting CAD and CAE, this cycle can be significantly shortened - often to a couple of hours or a maximum of days - thanks to a simulation empowered left-shift strategy that pulls verification and validation upfront in the design concept stage.

Users don’t need detailed simulation set-up or machine learning experience – the AI experience embeds the expertise and the machine learning model set up is already defined. These technologies allow users to explore the design space in a responsive way to quickly compare results and identify the optimal design.

Same great tools; unrivalled collaboration

Enjoy the 3DEXPERIENCE platform’s powerful collaborative capabilities to extend your existing design processes without changing tools.

Common model build
Embed requirements, design intent and even your thought process directly into the design itself. Integrate your rationale — why a component is designed the way it is — to capture your design and simulation processes so you can replicate and replay them easily until the design is right.
Sustainable product development
Optimising the product design and exploring new materials are accelerated using the MODSIM approach. The robust optimisation and automation tools on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform not only help create sustainable products but also sustainable processes by reducing the design development time or helping analyse multiple design alternatives.
Virtual twin
Investing in simulation early in the design process means you can left-shift the product development process to reduce the total cost. This allows all participants and all stakeholders to work on the same model - one virtual twin.
Modeling automation
Leverage the automation capabilities of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to provide out-of-the-box automated simulation workflows that can be used at an industrial scale with little expertise and require less maintenance. Tedious preparation tasks such as geometry simplification, mid-surfacing, meshing, material assignment, contact, weld connections, and model completion can be captured, automated, then replayed to enable fast simulation model updates.
Democratisation of simulation
Democratise simulation and make even complex simulation workflows available to designers and non-experts on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to speed up the design process. High-value simulation workflows can be standardised and templated to allow consistent, repeated use of high-quality simulation best-practices. This also frees up the simulation experts to focus on advanced simulation.
