Realistic Simulation with SIMULIA V6

SIMULIA enables collaboration when performing virtual tests and complying with performance specifications. Its portfolio provides powerful tools that enable designers and engineering analysts to perform fast, accurate performance studies on parts, components, and products designed with CATIA.

Global collaborative innovation: Simulation results are leveraged throughout the enterprise to drive design performance and business-related decisions. Because simulation is often performed by specialist teams, it is particularly beneficial for a designer to collaborate with an analyst performing simulation. Immersive chat and the ability to create and compare snapshots facilitate easier and quicker communication between both designer and analyst when determining the optimal design structure.

Online creation and collaboration: The online nature of V6 offers real-time, online access to simulation models and results. Models can be accessed anywhere at any time and shared within teams.

Single PLM platform for IP management: Users can manage and secure simulation-generated IP on a single platform, within a shared database. V6 extends the concept of PLM from the management of product information to the management of simulation data and processes. The single platform is as important for making simulation information easily accessible across the enterprise as it is for product data. Ultimately, it allows simulation IP to be captured and leveraged in the future.

Ready-to-use PLM business processes: A key part of making simulation an integral business process involves developing and deploying standard simulation processes, managing those processes within simulation lifecycle management (SLM), and then ensuring those processes are used consistently across the enterprise.

Lifelike experience: SIMULIA V6 lets users experience physically realistic 3D product behavior to accurately predict the behavior of a product under real world conditions. Simulation provides a deeper insight into product behavior that not only allows the number of expensive physical tests to be reduced, but also increases confidence in the design.

Lower total cost of ownership: Breakthrough return on investment: SIMULIA V6 enables customers to consolidate applications by reducing the number of different simulation tools employed by an enterprise.

The SIMULIA portfolio is organized by domains - product families organized according to business process:

• SIMULIA Compliance: Compliance enables virtual testing and the exploration of real-world product behavior to ensure compliance with regulations or performance targets such as safety, strength, durability, reliability, and manufacturability. The DesignSight product lets designers who have minimal simulation knowledge assess compliance with performance and manufacturability requirements.
• SIMULIA Multiphysics Digital Lab: Multiphysics Digital Lab is the state-of-the-art in simulation today. It supports the industry's extreme diversity of multiphysics simulation requirements, which dramatically reduces the need for physical testing.
• SIMULIA Open Scientific Platform: Open Scientific Platform is the foundation for the development of the lifelike simulation ecosystem of V6. It provides an open architecture that supports partner applications.
• SIMULIA iPLM Collaborative Innovation: iPLM Collaborative Innovation domain is a collaborative environment that allows users to capture, manage, reuse, automate, and make decisions on cross-functional simulation and scientific data, processes, and IP over the entire lifecycle.
