A 2-Step Approach to Optimize Your CATIA V5 Products with MODSIM

Today’s exciting product innovation possibilities include autonomous operation, sustainability, electrification, connectivity, and more, creating new market leadership opportunities. However, innovation starts with great design. By unifying design and simulation tools, teams can left-shift the design process, supporting a performance-driven design approach that will result in market-leading products.

In this context, you may already use a wide range of CATIA V5 tools and features for creating complex and detailed designs. However, do you benefit from simulation applications to analyze their performance and optimize it? If this isn't your case yet, let's see how to leverage this  integrated MODeling & SIMulation approach, called “MODSIM”, at your own pace, in a 2-step or 2-option process. 

Develop the Best Design by Optimizing it Thanks to V5 or Stand-Alone

With the CATIA SFE Portfolio, CAE and CAD teams can create a conceptual geometry quickly and early in the process. They keep modifying it conveniently to study many variants and they create ready-to-run FE simulation models from the geometry on the fly. 
CATIA V5 includes many simulation applications. Additionally, by taking a first step, CATIA V5 users can share and manage their CATIA V5 product designs and other documents on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. They can also review projects, manage tasks, and collaborate instantly. IT costs are reduced, and management is simplified. The connection offered by Collaborative Designer for CATIA V5 makes your company more agile and productive, even from the home office.

Why Not Benefit From the Unique Capabilities of 3DEXPERIENCE on Top of CATIA V5?

Because both SIMULIA and CATIA solutions operate on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, they share a common user interface, which makes it easy to create designs, setup and run simulations, and share results using a web browser.  A single-source of data ensures all team members are leveraging the current design to evaluate and improve product performance.  As Cloud services are always on and secure, you can take advantage of cloud technology without disrupting your processes and finally speed up project delivery. 
See below the solutions available to benefit from MODSIM capabilities on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

SFE helped us create the CAE model upfront without CAD data. Within two weeks, we had a full vehicle model up and running. After six months, we synced the two, and the CAD drove the CAE in terms of refinement. We gained a lot of development speed by going straight from the CAE to the CAD, and not the traditional CAD leading the CAE
