Accelerate Innovation in the Concept Phase

How a MODSIM approach can save time and cost.

Quick design changes and shortened process length

How can automakers accelerate the introduction of innovative and sustainable new vehicles yet ensure that every design meets an ever-growing raft of regulatory requirements? As the industry continues to electrify its products, there is an unprecedented opportunity to create exciting new vehicle designs.

The concept phase is critical to accelerating development. In this phase, designers innovate and identify their best ideas. It's crucial to get it right the first time, as modifying the design becomes more costly as the vehicle progresses toward production.

The current design process involves exporting and translating data between various systems and interfaces, which can be time-consuming. Tasks like concept creation, geometry clean-up, meshing, simulation set-up, solving, and evaluation can each take weeks using a directional, disconnected method. However, a MODSIM approach can streamline these processes, significantly reducing the time and effort required.

The MODSIM approach unifies and automates modeling and simulation on a common data model within a single user experience on the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform. This helps to create a continuous engineering loop that supports fast, collaborative design changes and rapid generation of simulation-ready models.
