OPTIMIZING DESIGN USE
With the aim of inspiring managers and leaders to design and innovate the next generation of products on a single business platform, Dassault Systèmes organized 3DEXPERIENCE Modeling & Simulation Conference MODSIM 2022 on November 24 in Bengaluru, with a focus on game-changing technology from CATIA and SIMULIA.
The product design process is at a breaking point now, and legacy processes are failing to meet tight and critical requirements. MODSIM—integrated modeling and simulation—ensures early design exploration. In this vein, Tarik Chaib, Chief Technology Officer, CATIA, Dassault Systèmes, discusses the platform and the significance of the 3DEXPERIENCE Modeling & Simulation Conference.
“Today, we seek to decrease production costs and ensure that, at the end of the day, we produce faster, cheaper, and greener, which is quite simple. We must integrate the model and simulation into a platform that will allow us to reduce time to market, boost productivity, develop a collaborative community of users, and eliminate physical testing,” he states.
The digital 3DEXPERIENCE platform brings together continuous integrated modeling and simulation that breaks down silos to improve collaboration, minimize risk, maximize performance, supercharge designers, expedite sustainable innovation, and realize the value of unified CAD & CAE.
MODSIM 2022
Chaib shares the objective of hosting MODSIM 2022, “It is to provide our customers and attendees the opportunity to fully explore the benefits of moving to an integrated design and simulation approach. We wanted to showcase how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides advanced technologies and solutions for multidisciplinary design, modeling, multi-physics simulation, and optimization, and how the MODSIM environment can ensure a single source of truth for data and additionally maintain data compatibility at all times.”
The conference featured keynote speakers from prominent OEMs who demonstrated the benefits of modeling and simulation and how it aids in future-proofing design methods. Furthermore, users who are transitioning to the MODSIM approach shared their perspectives and demonstrated industry workflows, putting MODSIM to the test.
He shares his views on how the conference empowers attendees to reap the benefits of moving to an integrated design and simulation approach. He says, “Through the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, modeling and simulation are tightly integrated into a unified experience called MODSIM. It enables companies to make computational testing with physics-based simulation a foundational part of their innovation process, resulting in less real-world testing and prototyping while lowering cost and reducing risk, which cannot be achieved with disconnected tools. As a result, little or no redesign is needed, physical certification testing is successful, and high-quality products can get to market faster.”
Market penetration in India
Recognizing the enormous potential of emerging sectors and the Government’s push, the Indian market is expanding its footprint in innovation. India Inc is laying the groundwork for future growth by embracing new technologies. Speaking on the deployment of its software in the Indian market, Chaib explains, “The first priority for us is to make sure we build proximity and presence, meaning that we train our partners properly so they can serve the clients well.” Dassault Systèmes’ clients in India are spread over several sectors. A few examples include Mahindra & Mahindra, Ashok Leyland, VECV, Royal Enfield, Hero, Renault, Unominda, Sandhar, Aerospace PSUs, and Aditya Birla.
Emphasizing R&D, he states, “Currently, Dassault Systèmes has R&D centers in Pune and Bengaluru, which are driving innovation for all 12 target industries. The capacity of the key Indian sectors to adopt the next-generation platforms is quite strong, as we have seen a significant increase over the past few years.” He continues, “While the Automobile sector was the largest adopter of
Dassault Systèmes’ technology over the past four years, construction and general mechanics are the biggest adopters now. We are also making big strides in Aerospace, especially with the multiple ongoing investments in the competency center in Bangalore.”
The digital approach
Many industries in India are undergoing a digital revolution. Chaib adds, “We are proud to work with companies across 12 different industries to help them innovate by implementing the MODSIM approach. The key industries that are leveraging the most from implementing modeling and simulation are Transportation & Mobility, Aerospace & Defence, Industrial Equipment, Construction, Cities & Territories, and Energy & Materials. In all of these industries, there is an imminent need for sustainability—encouraging green initiatives on the one hand and protecting the business from dynamic market changes on the other.”
The MODSIM approach aids in the transformation of operations and the realization of the benefits of a more customer-centric and innovative approach to designing strategies and making quick decisions. It enables companies to adapt their manufacturing processes to suit the demands of a continually changing market. “Digital connectivity can empower businesses to design, develop, and deliver the products that consumer wants when they want it, and at a competitive price, making companies more resilient and flexible,” he stresses. “Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform combines the virtual world of modeling and simulation with the real world of operations to provide a complete solution to value network stakeholders, including suppliers, manufacturers, logistics and transportation providers, service operators, and workforces.”
