Virtual testing advantages go beyond saving the wasted time and materials needed for physical prototypes. A MODSIM approach provides the ability to verify whether materials and the product design meet requirements very early. Simulation applied during the conceptual design phase offers a view for better decision making. Much as drivers begin a trip using GPS navigation to select the best route and avoid a traffic jam, designers apply MODSIM for insight on the optimal materials and design. Early insight increases innovation and avoids costly redesigns and multiple prototypes later.

Simulation allows product development to reduce unknown variables in testing. Predicting all the ways a customer will use (or misuse), a product is limited in physical testing. Virtual testing instead allows engineering to evaluate hundreds of simulated environments and load conditions not possible in physical testing. MODSIM increases the visibility of future product performance including simulated “what if” scenarios to confidently deliver a robust product to meet consumers’ needs. 

Leading consumer product manufacturers use MODSIM via the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to optimize their product development.

Learn new ways of improving your product development process using a MODSIM approach with SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation.

Deliver Stronger, Lighter, Better Consumer Products.

How do product development teams accelerate consumer product innovation today? By fully exploiting powerful simulation tools to validate product designs and make better-informed product decisions. With SOLIDWORKS modeling integrated with 3DEXPERIENCE Works Simulation, designers and experts collaborate on a single and shared environment to solve complex engineering challenges.  Instead of working in functional silos this integrated ‘MODSIM’ approach streamlines the way engineers assess product performance, reliability and safety in the early phases of development and throughout the product lifecycle.
