Leverage advanced lightweight technologies
High Quality. Low Cost. Faster Time to Market.
In industries where every millisecond and/or gram counts, there is a persistent need to minimize part weight and maximize stiffness and performance, all while reducing cost and material wastage. Designers must push past conventional ways of working to think outside the box. Meeting customer demands is imperative which means innovating one concept at a time is no longer a sustainable method.
Discover the cutting-edge technologies that are helping organizations to reduce cost, materials, weight, and time to market.
Key 3DEXPERIENCE Solutions
Drive Product Success with Lightweight Engineering
Composites
Composite materials are a better choice than some traditional materials for strong, lightweight, and more affordable properties. Discover our end-to-end Composites Engineering solution which provides an integrated process-oriented solution to define, simulate, analyze and validate the design of composites structures from conceptual to detail design while ensuring compliance with requirements and regulatory standards.
Generative Design
Designers are facing new challenges, with product and component compositions needing to be lighter, cheaper, more aesthetic, and more streamlined than others on the market. Because of this, it’s more important than ever for designers to push past conventional ways of working to think innovatively. Generative Design is imperative to helping designers develop, validate, and deliver innovative solutions quicker.
MODSIM

ACCELERATE INNOVATION WITH
GENERATIVE DESIGN
Designers are facing faster design cycles, along with increasingly complex design requirements. Product and component compositions must be lighter, cheaper, more aesthetic, and more streamlined than others on the market.
Because of this, it’s more important than ever for designers to push past conventional ways of working to think innovatively – and quickly. Generative Design is imperative to helping designers develop, validate, and deliver innovative solutions quicker.
CATIA Generative Design Engineering (GDE) enables non-specialists to automatically generate optimized conceptual parts from a functional specification at the push of a button. By varying inputs, designers can generate multiple variations to compare and analyze.
- Optimize product weight and stiffness with lightweight engineering
- Reduce time and cost by evaluating concepts faster
- Evaluate more concepts while maintaining design specifications
- Leverage real editable geometry for both conventional and additive manufacturing
- Easily generate and simulate optimized concept shapes
- Manage collaboration between Design, Simulation and Manufacturing Engineers seamlessly
REDUCE DESIGN CYCLES WITH MODSIM
UNIFIED MODELING & SIMULATION
MODSIM is a Modeling & Simulation solution that combines CAD-CAE to assist design engineers at the early stages of product development. MODSIM combines full CATIA and SIMULIA technologies on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to give a unified user interface and data model for modeling and simulation.
- Increase Simulation Cycle Efficiency: Teams improve their simulation efficiency by combining simulation and modeling in the same unified environment based on a single source of truth. When you alter the model, the changes immediately reflect in your simulation models. Reusable models, automatic meshing, and sharing results within the same environment save time and money.
- Promote Faster Innovation by Increasing Design Verification Efficiency: Teams can quickly assess the strengths and weaknesses of different concepts and combine high-performing aspects of various concepts tested into new designs.
- Reduce Physical Prototyping and Redesign Costs: Gain confidence in designs early on without investing in expensive prototyping by simulating product behavior by having the ability to conduct a simulation in a virtual environment and test any number of options.
- Drive Greater Collaboration: By using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, teams can easily collaborate and share data and design to create a more efficient workflow.
- Drive Excellence in Design Continuity: By connecting many disciplines, teams can build and simulate complicated situations and connected products more quickly.
