In an environment where competitiveness demands faster innovation, higher quality, and sustainability-driven criteria, the MODSIM (Modeling + Simulation) approach on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform has become a differentiating advantage.
This approach combines design and simulation in a single collaborative environment, enabling engineering teams, analysts, and managers to make better decisions from the very beginning of the process.
Below, discover the 9 key principles of MODSIM, accompanied by explanatory videos, showing how this approach transforms product development.
1. Innovation opportunities in product design
Electrification, sustainability, autonomy, and connectivity define new opportunities for market leadership. Innovation starts with good design, and MODSIM enables every product role to become a better designer and engineer by unifying modeling and simulation tools.
2. The challenges of product development
The pressure to balance innovation, costs, quality, and timelines is intensified by fragmented information. Silos hinder a global view, and many decisions are made with incomplete data. The democratization of simulation emerges as a way to provide visibility across all disciplines.
3. MODSIM breaks down the barriers between design and simulation
The single model eliminates information silos and allows multidisciplinary teams to collaborate without relying on exports and imports. With MODSIM, the Virtual Twin, artificial intelligence, and generative design drive continuous improvement and innovation.
4. Concept engineering with MODSIM
Conceptual design often prioritizes speed over validation, which limits innovative potential. MODSIM offers a modular and flexible approach, with concepts ready for simulation from the outset and AI support to quickly evaluate multiple alternatives.
5. Design engineering and generative design
Design engineers need to balance weight, cost, and performance. MODSIM, with generative design and experimentation (DOE), makes it possible to evaluate multiple options and automate best practices using generative templates. As a result, overdesigned solutions are reduced and every decision is optimized.
6. Manufacturability and sustainability
Production efficiency requires considering materials, processes, and sustainability goals. MODSIM optimizes part manufacturability, automates steps, and translates simulation results into clear instructions for the shop floor, from composites to sheet metal stamping.
7. Simulation analysts: collaboration without silos
Multiphysics complexity requires close collaboration. With MODSIM, analysts and designers work on the same model, avoiding outdated results and unnecessary repetition. In addition, analysts can create reusable scenarios to democratize simulation across the team.
8. Visibility for project managers and stakeholders
A lack of transparency in projects delays decision-making. MODSIM, integrated into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, provides dashboards, analytics, and mobile access to a single source of truth. This makes it easier for project managers and executives to assess risks, timelines, and customer experiences.
9. The power of MODSIM
MODSIM not only improves design, but also accelerates digital transformation through an approach based on Virtual Twins, automation, and real-time collaboration. It is a way to unify teams, democratize simulation, and create innovative, sustainable, and profitable products.
