MODSIM combines modeling and simulation for fast, collaborative vehicle design and testing
The MODSIM approach, combining CATIA modeling and SIMULIA simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, accelerates model development for simulation. This significantly reduces the time and cost of bringing new vehicles to market.
The transport and mobility industry is evolving rapidly, driven by the rising demand for electric and autonomous vehicles. Customers seek unique designs offering an exciting driving experience. New vehicles must meet increasingly stringent safety, sustainability, and performance regulations. As electric vehicle (EV) startups disrupt the market, established manufacturers must accelerate design cycles and innovation to stay competitive.
Digital modeling and simulation can reduce the need for physical prototypes, but the data behind these models often exists in siloed files and applications. Thus, making integration time-consuming and costly—hindering the speed of innovation.

Body Strength & Durability | Industry Process Experience
SIMULIA’s Body Strength & Durability simulation helps automakers design body and closure systems more efficiently, reducing development time and cost. It enables virtual assessment of strength, durability, and stiffness to improve design and reduce warranty costs. The solution also optimizes sealing systems, evaluates closure designs for strength and stiffness, and enhances body panels for dent resistance and reduced weight.
As competition grows in the automotive industry, manufacturers must quickly bring new vehicle designs to market while controlling costs. Rapid innovation is key to staying ahead of trends and meeting safety and performance standards.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform, with CATIA and SIMULIA, integrates modeling and simulation for MODSIM across the design cycle. By harmonizing data and providing a collaborative platform, it enables fast, accurate simulations that reduce time to market. This helps automakers balance cost, speed, and complexity while driving innovation and meeting consumer and regulatory needs.
