SIMULIA helps engineers evaluate performance, reliability, and safety virtually—reducing the need for physical prototypes. Explore the wide range of engineering disciplines it supports.
DISCIPLINES
Finite Element Analysis for Mechanical and Civil Engineering
STRUCTURAL SIMULATION
Structural simulation with FEM helps engineers understand how products and assemblies behave under real-world conditions like loads and temperature. SIMULIA enables virtual prototypes to evaluate key performance factors—stiffness, strength, safety, durability, and robustness—while meeting noise, vibration, and comfort standards. This reduces physical testing and improves product reliability.
Simulation and Analysis of Electromagnetic Fields
ELECTROMAGNETIC SIMULATION
Electromagnetic simulation software lets engineers efficiently analyze the EM properties of components and systems. Using specialized solvers, it handles multiscale challenges—from wide frequency ranges to complex structures—throughout the design process. Virtual prototypes enable fast, accurate evaluation from concept to performance under real-world conditions.
Steady-State and Transient Internal and External Flow Around and Through Solids and Structures
COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS SIMULATION
SIMULIA CFD simulations help engineers predict real-world fluid performance quickly and accurately across industries—from eVTOL flight and race-car aerodynamics to automotive fuel efficiency. Powered by Lattice Boltzmann-based PowerFLOW and XFlow, and integrated with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, SIMULIA Fluids enables high-fidelity simulation, design optimization, and plastics injection molding validation.
Analyse the Motion of Complex Mechanical Systems Under the Application of Mechanical Forces
MULTI SYSTEM DYNAMICS & MOTION SIMULATION
SIMULIA Multibody and motion simulation lets engineers analyze how complex mechanical and mechatronic systems move and interact. It helps understand the dynamics of vehicles, wind turbines, gearboxes, engines, and electric motors, enabling better design and performance of complex systems.
Simulation and analysis of noise and vibration across the entire audible frequency range
VIBRO-ACOUSTICS SIMULATION
Noise and vibration analysis is critical across industries to meet regulations, improve comfort, and prevent fatigue or failure. SIMULIA vibro-acoustic simulations combine deterministic and statistical methods, enabling early-stage evaluation of noise and vibration. Addressing these issues early reduces risks, lowers costs, and ensures better product performance.
Democratize Simulation, Accelerate Innovation, and Take Advantage of the Power of Artificial Intelligence.
AUTOMATION & OPTIMIZATION
SIMULIA’s automation and optimization tools streamline simulation-driven design, reducing errors and improving efficiency. Users can create, share, and replay simulation workflows, enabling enterprise-wide knowledge reuse. Integrated parametric and non-parametric optimization allows rapid exploration of design spaces to meet requirements, enhance performance, and drive innovation.
3DEXPERIENCE SIMULIA
3DEXPERIENCE SIMULIA transforms simulation from a vertical engineering function into an enterprise-wide business process. It enables extended teams to build and execute complex models across design, engineering, manufacturing, and ownership. For decision-makers, it democratizes simulation through best-practice capture, reuse, and mobile access, aligning simulations with business goals. Designers benefit from integrated on-cloud and on-premise roles to improve early design decisions, while specialists can simulate structures, fluids, acoustics, electromagnetics, and multibody systems with high-performance visualization and collaborative tools. By integrating existing data and IP, SIMULIA reduces silos, accelerates product evaluation, and improves performance, reliability, and safety before physical prototyping.
