Performance Driven Generative Design

Leverage the MODSIM approach for faster design, simulation, and optimization of products. Combine design, calculations, and team collaboration on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
CATIA Performance-Driven Generative Design

MODSIM: performance-driven design from the very first concept

Connect modeling and simulation in a single environment and validate technical decisions before costly changes occur in development.

Performance-Driven Generative Design helps development teams find optimal design variants based on performance, weight, strength, manufacturability, and sustainability. CATIA, SIMULIA, and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform create a shared environment where design can not only be modeled but also continuously validated.

What MODSIM means in product development

MODSIM connects modeling and simulation into a single workflow. Designers do not have to wait until the late stages of development to find out how the design will behave. Simulation becomes a natural part of the design process and helps make decisions at the moment when each change has the greatest impact.

01

Validate designs earlier

Simulation helps identify weaknesses in the design during the conceptual phase, not just after the design is completed or a prototype is manufactured.

02

More design variants

Teams can quickly compare different design options based on performance, weight, strength, or manufacturing constraints.

03

Fewer late changes

Connecting design and simulation reduces the number of iterations, returns, and costly adjustments in later stages of development.

Performance-driven engineering

Performance-driven design, not just geometry

Traditional development often works with geometry separately from simulations. The MODSIM approach changes this model. The design team can consider technical requirements, simulations, manufacturing constraints, and target product parameters in one environment.

Topological optimization of parts and assemblies for lighter and more efficient designs.

Virtual validation of designs before manufacturing a physical prototype.

Better decision-making in the early stages of development when costs and technical parameters can be most influenced.

Modeling and simulation

One digital model for design, analysis, and decision-making

CATIA and SIMULIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform allow working with unified data across design, simulation, and other development disciplines. This enables faster analysis of variants, sharing of results, and guiding technical decisions based on verified data.

Faster comparison of variants based on strength, stiffness, flow, thermal behavior, or movement.

Easier collaboration between design, simulation, manufacturing, and development management.

The ability to track design changes and link them to simulation results and requirements.

MODSIM helps shorten the path from concept to validated product

When design and simulation are connected in one environment, the development team gains better control over performance, costs, quality, and sustainability of the product.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about MODSIM

What does MODSIM mean?

MODSIM is the connection of modeling and simulation in one environment. It allows for continuous validation of design from the very first concepts and decision-making based on data.

Does MODSIM replace the work of a simulation specialist?

No. MODSIM helps make simulation insights accessible to a broader development team, but specialists still play an important role in methodology, validation, and advanced calculations.

Is MODSIM suitable only for large companies?

Not necessarily. The benefits mainly depend on the type of product, complexity of development, number of variants, and requirements for performance, weight, quality, or optimization.

How can TECHNODAT help with deployment?

We will help you assess the appropriate scenario, design workflows, connect CATIA, SIMULIA, and 3DEXPERIENCE, and prepare the team for practical use of the solutions.
