In today’s complex product development and manufacturing environment, designers and engineers are using a wide range of software tools to design and simulate their products. Often, chained simulation process flows are required in which the parameters and results from one software package are needed as inputs to another package and the manual process of entering the required data can reduce efficiency, slow product development and introduce errors in modeling and simulation assumptions.

SIMULIA provides market-leading solutions that improve the process of leveraging the power of various software packages. Isight and the SIMULIA Execution Engine (formerly Fiper) are used to combine multiple cross-disciplinary models and applications together in a simulation process flow, automate their execution across distributed compute resources, explore the resulting design space and identify the optimal design parameters subject to required constraints.

It helps drastically to reduce design cycle time through integrating workflow processes in an automated environment and deliver more reliable, better-quality products through accelerated evaluation of design alternatives.

SIMULIA V6 enables collaboration on performing virtual tests and meeting performance requirements. Its portfolio, which leverages proven Abaqus technology, provides powerful tools that enable fast, accurate performance studies on parts, assemblies, components and products designed with V6. It also enables organizations to capture their simulation knowledge, deploy approved methods, manage applications and share simulation results to enable collaboration and accurate performance-based decisions.

The major benefits of SIMULIA V6 are realistic simulation which is a strategic capability becomes as a natural part of the design experience through the Design Sight products with minimal simulation knowledge required. It also enables the capture and reuse of realistic simulation IP which improves confidence in accuracy, reliability and repeatability of simulation results.

V6 Simulation allows designers and engineers to collaborate on making performance-based decisions. It also leverages the V6 platform to collaborate while managing and securing Simulation IP and interlinks simulation with design and manufacturing.

SIMULIA provides complete design-integrated simulation capabilities within the CATIA V5 design environment. Designers can use the familiar CATIA user interface to perform analysis directly on their master reference model in CATIA. Data integrity issues are avoided since there is no transfer and translation of geometry.

The combined CATIA Analysis and the SIMULIA Extended Analysis product suites have been developed for designers and engineers who need to accurately size their designs and quickly evaluate their real world performance during the design phase. To access the basic nonlinear and thermal analysis capabilities included in ANL and ATH, users must first be working with Generative Part Structural Analysis (GPS), the backbone product to the CATIA V5 Analysis offering.

It helps to design and analyze in a single environment to reduce the need to export models to a stand-alone simulation tool. It also improves product performance while meeting performance and operating specifications. The scalable solutions also allow users to perform linear, nonlinear, or thermal analysis to meet their design application required. In addition with these benefits, the design iterations can be evaluated rapidly so that more design options can be considered while staying on time and on budget given the same project timeline.

SIMULIA’s Simulation Lifecycle Management solution enables product development companies to perform simulation data management as well as test data management to achieve a competitive advantage and maximize their investment in simulation technology.

SIMULIA SLM also accelerates product development by ensuring decision traceability and providing timely access to the right information through secure storage, search and retrieval with distinct functionality dedicated specifically to simulation scenarios and data. The SIMULIA SLM product suite, combined with ENOVIA technology, offers an open and flexible configuration based on your organization’s simulation data management process management needs.
