SIMULIA Disciplines

Simulation solutions for structures, electromagnetics, fluids and more
MEMKO > Software > SIMULIA > SIMULIA Disciplines
Structures
A comprehensive set of structural analysis solutions using ABAQUS Fea to guide design decisions and improve product performance and quality

Structural Simulation

Structures simulation includes Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using Abaqus for solids and structures to model linear and nonlinear static, thermal, dynamic, and impact effects.  Realistic simulation includes complete material behavior (for metals, elastomers, composites, and many other materials), contact and impact, and large motion.  Fracture/failure analysis can be included.  Fatigue simulation and lifecycle estimation is provided using fe-safe technology. Integrated directly with CAD models generated within CATIA & SOLIDWORKS, a wide range of scenarios can be efficiently modeled & simulated from single parts to complete assemblies allowing simulation to become a core part of product design & engineering processes.

Electromagnetics
Electromagnetic simulation technology including CST studio suite to guide decisions and improve product performance and quality

Electromagnetic Simulation

Electromagnetics simulation discipline includes technology for simulation of electromagnetic waves propagation and signal strength related to design and positioning of devices for communication and detection.  Technology from CST Studio Suite is connected to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to allow a wide range of high-frequency and low-frequency scenarios to be efficiently simulated related to electromagnetic performance and device placement.

Fluids
Steady-state and transient internal and external flow (including heat transfer) around and through solids and structures using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) directly connected to the design geometry

Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation

The Fluids discipline covers steady-state and transient internal and external flow around and through solids and structures using Computational Fluid Dynamics technology. A fully-featured Navier-Stokes solver is used for native roles on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Internal and external fluid domain models can be developed directly from the CATIA or SOLIDWORKS design geometry providing an integrated modeling & simulation capability. On the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, fluid simulation methods can be defined, stored, replayed, and maintained allowing customers to develop and centralize on their own best-practices to increase quality, reliability, and efficiency of structural validation.

SIMULIA Mutlibody Dynamics
Multibody simulation technology to verify complex product motion

Multibody System Dynamics Motion Simulation

Multibody Dynamics discipline includes technology enabling engineers to simulate the complex non-linear kinematic and dynamic motion behavior motion, kinematics, dynamics, and performance of any mechanical or mechatronic system.  A browser-based environment powered by the Simpack multibody simulation solver is delivered  to allow the behavior of product mechanisms and systems to be validated and improved.

Simulation and analysis of noise and vibration across the entire audible frequency range

Vibro-Acoustics Simulation

Noise and vibration analysis is becoming increasingly important in virtually every industry. The need to reduce noise and vibration can arise for many reasons: government legislation, lightweight designs, materials, detectability, fatigue failure or increased competitive pressure. The use of fast statistical vibro-acoustic simulation methods can help ensure that noise and vibration performance is built into a product from the very early concept design stages. 

Vibro-Acoustics Simulation
SIMULIA Automation
A comprehensive set of process capture, management, replay and deployment capabilities

Automation & Optimization

To increase the value of simulation investment, the Automation discipline includes capabilities to allow users to develop, store, manage, deploy, share, and replay standard methods for simulation-driven design.  Use of standardized methods reduces error, increases efficiency, and maximizes simulation value by spreading the knowledge and know-how embedded in simulation processes and allowing replication of these processes throughout the enterprise.

SIMULIA Discipline FAQs

What can Structural simulation reveal?

With SIMULIA Structures technology, you can answer many fundamental question in advance of or as a replacement for physical testing such as:

  • How can I improve my design?
  • Will it break if I drop if? How will it break?
  • Will it leak?
  • How long will my product last? How can I make it last even longer?

Answering these questions with simulation reduces costs, eliminates errors, and shortens design cycles.

What can Fluids simulation reveal?

Fluid simulation is an important aspect of product and vehicle design, from cabin cooling to aerodynamic drag calculations. Questions on the impacts of design change on fuel efficiency and drag, noise reduction, lubrication and more can be answered in a virtual environment. Avoiding or minimizing expensive and time-consuming physical testing is especially important in today’s regulatory environment such as within the World harmonized Light vehicles Test Protocol (WLTP) regulations.

What can Electromagnetic simulation reveal?

Electromagnetic simulation can answer questions in relation to:

  • Will my product meet technical specifications?
  • Is my product power efficient?
  • How much will it heat up?
  • How will heating change its performance?
  • Will it comply with regulations and get certified?
  • Will my components interfere with each other?

In today’s complex mechatronic product design environment, there is no time to make mistakes or risk a test failure especially when simulation can be used to avoid most such errors.

What can Multibody Systems/Motion simulation reveal?

Motion simulation can answer important design questions during design long before prototypes become available, including:

  • How does the system move?
  • What are the internal and external forces?
  • What are the bearing loads?
  • How much power is generated?

This can reduce their design time and increase their confidence in their final design while they advance toward zero prototyping.

What can Automation and Optimization reveal?

By automating simulation processes to drive optimization, interesting questions about not just the physics, but the entire design space can be answered.

Questions such as:

  • How can my current design be made more robust?
  • Can I improve the performance of my design?
  • What is the trade off relationship between product requirements?Which design variable has the most impact on KPIs?
