Simulation-driven development has been used for years to test engineering designs against requirements. However, data exchange between design and simulation is quite complex, time-consuming and error-prone, as different software is usually used.

Dassault Systèmes offers an integrated solution for design and simulation that eliminates the need for data transfer, as both areas use a common data model. Necessary data changes are transferred to CAD and CAE in real time.

The 3DEXPERIENCE® platform from Dassault Systèmes combines modeling / design (CAD) and simulation (CAE) for greater efficiency. The MODSIM approach (=modeling & simulation) thus ends the isolated structures of the design and simulation departments in terms of collaboration. With MODSIM, companies and development teams benefit from faster and more informed decision-making with reduced costs and risks.

This free white paper describes the benefits of unifying and managing data (from CAD and CAE) across the entire development cycle and shows how to realize automated, simulation-enabled vehicle modeling.
