Go From Solve to Innovate

By Sumanth Kumar, vice president of SIMULIA Portfolio Management at Dassault Systèmes

With shorter timelines, reduced budgets, more stringent regulations and greater technical complexity product developers are relying more heavily on a range of simulation technologies.

Dassault Systèmes has responded to this industry demand by making technical breakthroughs in solver performance, accuracy, scalability, material modeling, assembly modeling, contact analysis, fracture and fatigue, multiphysics co-simulation and efficient optimization technologies. These technologies are all easily accessible through Extended Packaging for Abaqus, Tosca, Isight and fe-safe, which provides efficiency, flexibility and scalability to access the technology you need when you need it.

A Holistic Approach

However, robust technology on its own is no longer sufficient. The issue facing most companies is not only how to use more simulation “solver” technology, but how to integrate the technologies and leverage the benefits of simulation and optimization to power innovation. Companies need to bring simulation out from the back corner of the engineering department and onto center stage in their business processes.

Dassault Systèmes is leading the way by providing integrated simulation technologies as well as a platform for collaboration and management of simulation intellectual property. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform transforms the way products are designed, produced and supported. With our platform, industry-focused solutions, and expansive partner ecosystem we are empowering companies to make the transition from “solve” to “innovate.”

The platform enables simulation to be an integral part of the cross-disciplinary workflows tailored to each specific industry. Entire development processes—with requirements, design variants, simulation models, and results—are maintained as part of the same single source of truth for product and experience-related data. Any changes are automatically reflected in the system of record, which makes it possible for everyone to be fully aware of their colleagues’ contribution at each stage of development.

The integration of realistic simulation, process capture, automation, optimization and analytics within the platform enables companies to democratize simulation by sharing best practices. It also accelerates exploration of multiple options and supports collaboration across multidisciplinary teams to zero in on alternatives that may have never been considered with traditional methods.

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform, combined with the breadth of SIMULIA applications, enables simulation to be essential for achieving optimal processes and designs. This helps companies deliver high-performing, innovative products while reducing cost, time and risk.
