The benefits of unified modelling and simulation

Unified modelling and simulation (MODSIM) unites design and engineering in one seamless workflow on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. By integrating CAD and CAE, it enhances collaboration, reduces iterations, and speeds up innovation.

Maximise your design process using advanced simulation tools within your familiar design environment, like CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, and other popular CAD systems.

The modern way of working

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.

Once you have submitted your proof of concept request, a TECHNIA simulation expert will contact you to discuss your goals and create a tailored solution.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

CASE STUDY

CAD and CAE support in developing the RAD 40 Electric Drive

RAD worked with TECHNIA to support the development of a 40kW electric outboard motor. While RAD retained design authority, TECHNIA engineers were seamlessly integrated into the team, leveraging our extensive experience in EV design and simulation and contributing to the development, research, and design details of the product.

Unified modelling and simulation enabled the team to ensure the optimal manufacturable solution of the RAD 40, ensuring it was able to withstand the extreme conditions of the marine environment.
