Higher Efficiency by Optimization

Quickly creating the best design for performance, weight, cost and other mission-critical factors is increasingly important in launching market-winning products. Finding the best option requires a multidisciplinary approach with multiple trade-off studies. To reduce physical testing, companies are expanding the use of virtual testing and design optimization technology.

Dassault Systemes, the world-leader in developing 3D software applications, is delivering on a long-term strategy to provide the most powerful solutions for design optimization. Its SIMULIA realistic simulation applications provide the most complete, open and robust toolset available on the market.

Leading Technology

SIMULIA Isight is used to integrate 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 optimal designs based on user-defined parameters.

SIMULIA Tosca is the leading technology for non-parametric structural and fluid flow optimization. It delivers powerful optimization technology for design of lightweight, stiff, and durable parts and assemblies. With Tosca, product designs are created solely on a given design space and a defined optimization task. Innovative design proposals can be optimized earlier in the design process, reducing the number of physical tests.

The business value of these applications is significant and will increase dramatically as capabilities within Dassault Systemes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This will provide easier access to these powerful capabilities for users of CAD, FEA, and CFD technologies—not only from Dassault Systemes, but also from its software partners. This openness ensures that manufacturing companies can leverage their current design and engineering software investments.

When applied as an integral part of the product development process, Dassault Systemes’ optimization technology will further enable companies to accelerate and achieve their quest for the best.

“The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is all about optimizing a company’s business and the products it offers,” says Bernard Charlès, President and CEO, Dassault Systemes. “Is it what customers want? Can we produce it quickly? Is it right for a sustainable future? These are the questions industry must ask to harmonize products, nature and life. And these are the questions our 3DEXPERIENCE platform answers.”
