Modeling & Simulation. What is MODSIM?

Modeling & Simulation, or MODSIM,
is a data-driven, collaborative approach to product development.
Bring your teams closer together with concurrent modeling and simulation processes.
Carry out design verification and validation earlier on in the design process.
Develop better products faster.
Enjoy simpler in-process design updates, vastly improved traceability of design decisions
and faster product innovation with simulation-driven design.

 

 

Integrate Simulation Throughout Your Product Development

Faster Innovation

Making design verification faster means that Designers and Analysts can focus on product innovation and validation

Closer Collaboration

Sharing common models and data helps bring your teams together to work in a more focused, agile and efficient way

Design Confidence

Simulating product behavior in early design phases helps you to gain confidence in designs without the need for costly prototyping

Sustainable Creation

Bringing simulation into the design process sooner makes it easier to optimize product designs for sustainable manufacture

Discover Modeling & Simulation

 

Most modeling and most simulation today are performed as siloed disciplines using separate, often incompatible, software.

Integrated Modeling & Simulation (MODSIM) brings a revolution to the productivity of engineers and product teams. By using the same data and introducing simulation at the earliest phase of product development, engineers can confidently deliver the right product at the right time.

Modeling & Simulation User Disciplines

Simulation-Driven Design

Enable Designers and Engineers to easily create and reuse parametric geometry for product models with the CATIA SFE portfolio. Ensure functional performance before investing in details with concurrent Design and Simulation.

Function-Driven Generative Designer

Quickly and easily create geometries from optimized mesh. Automate design concept comparisons. Transform coarse mesh into smooth geometries with advanced resurfacing – all within the same environment.

Composites Design & Manufacture

Design, simulate and manufacture composite structures with a set of process-focused applications. Lower costs and refocus resources on innovation with streamlined CAE and CAD.
