Integrating simulation into your product development workflows changes the game for designers and engineers. Want to learn more about simulation but don’t know where to start? Good news: at 3DEXPERIENCE World 2026, whether you’re an advanced analyst or just starting your simulation journey, we have dozens of ways for you to learn more about simulation and bring it into your workflows.

27 Simulation User Breakout Sessions

At 3DEXPERIENCE World, you can get hands-on with simulation technology and get facetime with the R&D team members who build the software. Learn about the core capabilities in the SOLIDWORKS Simulation portfolio and discover the best software for you and your needs at in-person technical breakout sessions.

The SOLIDWORKS Simulation portfolio has solutions for structural, fluid, thermal, electromagnetic, motion, and plastic injection molding, all integrated into the SOLIDWORKS Design environment. Join one of our breakout sessions to hear from real customers and users, learn best practices and workflows, and join hands-on sessions to test-drive SOLIDWORKS Simulation solutions for yourself.

Simulation Customer Showcase

Join us at the 3DEXPERIENCE Theater in the Playground, where customers will hit the stage and discuss their company’s stories, their product development journeys, and how they’ve found success with SOLIDWORKS software.

This year, there will be two 20-minute long sessions featuring seven customers who have implemented simulation into their workflows. They will discuss how they addressed real-world challenges with unified modeling and simulation (MODSIM), and share their experiences using SOLIDWORKS simulation tools to realize organizational benefits in terms of productivity, performance insights, cost, time-to-market, quality and innovation.

Meet Bruce at the Simulation Booth

Simulation is putting the ‘play’ in 3DEXPERIENCE Playground this year by inviting you to the simulation area at the Dassault Systèmes booth, where you can meet Bruce! Bruce is our famous blue test subject, a humanoid model who is put through every kind of simulation test you can imagine. He’ll be at the simulation booth for you to take pictures and try out real-life drop tests (and more) with smaller, 3D printed versions of Bruce.

Not only can you meet Bruce and get hands-on with simulation at the simulation booth, you can also interact with Dassault Systèmes simulation experts, who can answer any simulation question you have and help you with your specific product development needs.

There will also be two 15 minute simulation shows every day to demonstrate different simulation tests on Bruce, along with super cool products developed by SOLIDWORKS customers that were made by leveraging MODSIM workflows.

The simulation booth is going to be the place to be at 3DEXPERIENCE World 2026, so make sure you don’t miss it by registering today!

3DEXPERIENCE World 2026 is the best place to learn about all forms of simulation. No matter what you design or manufacture, simulation can be the make-or-break (literally) step in your workflow that keeps you on track and efficient. At 3DEXPERIENCE World, you have so many opportunities to learn about simulation, from the simplest of tests to the most advanced cloud analyses.

All you have to do is register and join! Register for 3DEXPERIENCE World 2026 today and see what simulation can do for you.
