Top 10 Reasons to Adopt Advanced Simulation in your Design Process

By

The world of design and engineering is rapidly evolving, and staying ahead means embracing the latest tools and technologies. One such technology is advanced simulation, which has become an integral part of the design process for many forward-thinking companies. The 3DEXPERIENCE® Works Simulation platform offers SOLIDWORKS® designers the ability to validate designs and make informed decisions from the earliest stages of development.

Here are the top 10 reasons why you should consider integrating advanced simulation into your design workflow:

  1.     Reduce Costs
  • Why it matters: Early identification and rectification of design flaws through simulation can significantly reduce the need for expensive physical prototypes and multiple testing iterations. This leads to substantial cost savings across the product lifecycle.
  • Impact: Lower development costs and higher profitability.
  1.     Accelerate Time to Market
  •  Why it matters: Simulation allows engineers to quickly iterate and test various scenarios and conditions, streamlining the development process.
  •  Impact: Faster product releases and a competitive edge in the market.
  1.     Enhance Product Quality
  •  Why it matters: Predicting and optimizing product performance through simulation ensures designs meet or exceed quality standards by addressing real-world conditions such as stress, heat, or fluid dynamics.
  •  Impact: Higher quality, more reliable products.
  1.     Identify & Mitigate Risks
  •   Why it matters: By simulating potential failures and operating conditions, companies can proactively address risks during the design phase.
  •    Impact: Reduced likelihood of costly recalls, warranty claims, and safety issues.
  1.     Innovate Without Limits
  •    Why it matters: Simulation encourages creativity and experimentation by removing the constraints of physical prototyping.
  •     Impact: Breakthroughs in product design and functionality.
  1.     Optimized Performance
  •    Why it matters: Engineers can fine-tune product parameters such as weight, material usage, and structural integrity for optimal performance.
  •    Impact: Products that are lighter, stronger, and more efficient.
  1.     Build Environment-Friendly Products
  •    Why it matters: Simulating energy consumption, emissions, and environmental impact helps design more sustainable products.
  •     Impact: Reduced waste, energy consumption, and carbon footprint.
  1.     Collaborate Towards Holistic Solutions
  •     Why it matters: Simulation fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, integrating mechanical, electrical, and software engineering insights.
  •     Impact: Comprehensive designs that address all aspects of product functionality and performance.
  1.     Deliver Mass Customization
  •     Why it matters: Simulation allows for the customization and personalization of products to meet specific customer needs without significantly increasing production costs.
  •     Impact: Tailored solutions that enhance customer satisfaction.

10. Capture Knowhow and Democratize Engineering Practices

  •     Why it matters: Simulation helps capture valuable engineering knowledge and best practices in digital form, making it reusable across projects.
  •     Impact: Faster development processes and consistent design methodologies.
