SIMULIA

It is not enough to know whether the design meets the requirements. You need to understand why.

SIMULIA enables virtual verification of the behavior of products, materials, and systems even before the physical prototype is produced.

It connects structural calculations, fluid dynamics, temperature, electromagnetics, motion, vibrations, and design optimization in a single simulation environment.

Customer Problem

Technical risks often reveal themselves only when changes are most costly.

Development teams must shorten deadlines, reduce weight and costs while ensuring safety, longevity, and product performance. If the behavior of the design is verified only on a physical prototype, every error means another iteration and delay.

1

Problems are revealed too late

Deformations, overheating, vibrations, electromagnetic interference, or fatigue manifest only during physical testing.

2

The design has unnecessary margins

Without an accurate view of actual behavior, the product tends to be heavier, more expensive, or over-engineered.

3

Simulation is separated from design

Analysts manually transfer geometry and struggle to trace which version of the design the results belong to.

SIMULIA structural simulation of a product
Change of Approach

From late testing to continuous decision-making based on simulations.

SIMULIA transfers real loads and physical phenomena into a virtual environment. Designers and analysts can compare variants, search for root causes of problems, and verify product behavior even before the prototype is produced. It is not just about answering "does it meet the requirements or not", but understanding why the problem arises and how to improve the design.

Our Approach

First, a specific technical question. Then, the tool.

You do not need to implement SIMULIA as a large ecosystem all at once. We start with a specific case that can verify input data, process, result accuracy, and benefits for the design and calculation team.

Use Case Selection

We determine what decision the simulation should support and how we will recognize a successful outcome.

Input Preparation

We check geometry, materials, loads, boundary conditions, and available test data.

Pilot and Validation

We create a model, compare scenarios, and verify the necessary level of confidence in the result.

Deployment and Development

We set up workflows, licenses, training, support, and integration with 3DEXPERIENCE.

SIMULIA Solutions

Connection to the Platform

SIMULIA makes the most sense when simulations are not separated from development.

The MODSIM approach connects modeling and simulation over a common data model on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Both the designer and analyst work in the same context, geometry changes can be reflected in calculations more quickly, and results remain linked to the correct version of the product.

What does the connection bring?

1
Current Geometry Simulations are based on the correct version of the design, and changes do not need to be manually transferred between teams.
2
Faster Iterations Design variants can be prepared, recalculated, and compared in a shorter time.
3
Traceable Results Models, boundary conditions, settings, and results remain in a common context.
4
Better Collaboration Design, calculations, project teams, and management work over the same data.

Specific Benefits

What can SIMULIA change in your development?

The goal is not to create more calculations. The goal is to get the right decisions into development earlier, reduce technical risks, and leverage simulation data repeatedly.

01

Fewer Physical Prototypes

Variants can first be compared virtually, and physical tests can focus on final verification of the design.

02

Earlier Risk Detection

Critical points, resonance, overheating, or fatigue are addressed before release for production.

03

Lighter and More Efficient Design

Optimization helps eliminate unnecessary material while maintaining required stiffness and longevity.

04

Faster Evaluation of Changes

When changing geometry, material, or loads, the prepared process can be reused.

05

Better Validation Documentation

Traceable models, conditions, and results support repeatability and technical argumentation.

06

Common Development Context

3DEXPERIENCE connects design, simulations, requirements, variants, results, and approvals.
