Combine modeling & simulation to accelerate your designs and unlock new potential
MODSIM on Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE® platform represents a groundbreaking, next-generation approach to engineering and design by fully integrating modeling and simulation. By merging these disciplines, MODSIM speeds up design exploration, optimization, and validation, while driving innovation.
Because the design model serves as the virtual twin for simulation, MODSIM enables earlier analysis in the development cycle—before physical testing begins. This not only drives innovation but also lowers development costs, and shortens time-to-market.
In this eBook, we present a case study that explores how a team of engineers leverages MODSIM to speed up the development of a new electric drive system for a car. MODSIM supports innovation and reduces risk throughout the process.
Engineers design motors to maximize energy efficiency within the expected operating range. Automated optimization adjusts magnet placement and air gaps to enhance performance, with changes instantly updated in the CAD file.
The power of MODSIM to accelerate development and drive innovation
With a record number of new vehicle models set to launch in the coming years, the competition is intensifying. Therefore, integrated modeling, simulation, and KPI management streamline the process, boosting efficiency and delivering higher-quality products more quickly.
Automation accelerates both model building and simulation setup, freeing engineers from time-consuming tasks like geometry healing and meshing. This allows them to focus on critical work. MODSIM is multi-CAD compatible, integrating leading CAD tools without compatibility issues. This allows each stakeholder to use their preferred software.
The motor must meet strict OEM and regulatory standards, leading to numerous design requirements. With all users collaborating on a single platform and data stored in one source of truth, the risk of miscommunication and version control errors is minimized. As a result, if a design issue is identified, the model can be quickly updated, and the new geometry is automatically shared with all users.
