Discover how MODSIM powers simulation-driven design by uniting CAD and CAE into one process—helping engineers innovate faster and reduce cost.

In product development, time and accuracy are everything. The traditional approach has often been to design first, then run simulations later to validate and catch issues. But by the time those issues appear, changes are costly, time is lost, and opportunities to innovate may already be gone.

Simulation-driven design flips this script. Instead of waiting until the end, simulation is brought into the earliest stages of design. Engineers can explore more options, optimize performance, and identify problems before they ever reach the prototype stage. The result is a smarter, faster, and more cost-effective design process.

This is where MODSIM—Modeling and Simulation—comes in.

MODSIM merges CAD and CAE into one interconnected environment. No more juggling disconnected tools or wasting hours translating models. With MODSIM, design and simulation run on the same data, in real time. That means engineers can move seamlessly between creating and testing, ensuring that every decision is informed by simulation.

How MODSIM Brings Simulation to the Forefront

  • Single Source of Truth: Design and simulation share the same digital twin, eliminating errors from rework and data transfers.

  • Faster Iteration: Engineers can try more design concepts and run simulations early, driving innovation and optimization.

  • Team Alignment: From design to manufacturing, everyone works from the same model, strengthening collaboration and trust.

  • Business Results: By reducing prototypes, avoiding late-stage redesigns, and accelerating time-to-market, companies save money and stay competitive.

In short, MODSIM makes simulation-driven design possible. It empowers engineers to focus on innovation rather than firefighting and helps businesses achieve better products, faster.

Simulation is no longer a checkbox at the end of development—it’s the engine that drives it forward. And MODSIM is the key that unlocks its full potential.
