Accelerate Throughput


Save Time and Money

Use A Common Environment from CAD-to-CAE

• From concept design via 3D-modeling to fully optimized simulation results in a single window environment and consolidates design tools and brings simulation upstream

• Consistent and flexible workflows, common terminology, and the ability to share geometry and data across disciplines and throughout organizations encourage collaboration


Save Time and Money

Democratize Simulation

• Guided workflows and a highly intuitive interface bring design engineers relatively inexperienced with simulation up to speed fast

• Customization capabilities allow expert users to rapidly deploy simulation to design engineers and automatically enforce best practices


Save Time and Money

Enable Single, Multiple, or Multiphysics

• Proven technology, consistent workflows, and commonterminology across disciplines allow engineers to model one physics or multiple in one window, minimizing training needs while extending simulation coverage

• Results can be seamlessly coupled for multiphysics analysis and an increased understanding of how forces combine in the real world to impact product performance
