Virtual Performance Solution Optimizing Product Performance with Simulation

Featuring PAM-CRASH

www.esi-group.com Optimize your product development cycle thanks to Virtual Performance Solution multi-domain, concurrent engineering using a single helps improve the efficiency of your Computer Aided core model. Engineering workflows during product development. . Gain time, flexibility, quality and lower costs while accelerating your development cycle. . Leverage concurrent engineering and optimize Crash and safety design variants. NVH and dynamics . Account for manufacturing conditions to improve the accuracy and reliability of your results.

“Using a single core Multi-domain model allows us to Single core model Comfort perform faster design Statics and strength changes, giving us a competitive advantage. Furthermore, the calculation with the Implicit module is two times faster and uses less memory.” Interior acoustics Eberhard Keim, CAE Department Non linear kinematics Manager, EDAG .

“Virtual Performance Solution allows cost BENEFITS  and time savings in our . Master design iterations with a single core model and cut cost and time by saving model translation tasks between crash, safety, comfort, statics, Product Development dynamics, NVH, interior acoustics and durability. Cycle.” . Reduce design iterations and optimize safety margins by improving quality and predictability thanks to contacts, nonlinearities, and Mr. Kazuhiro Obayashi, Integrated manufacturing history handling. CAE Department Manager, .  NISSAN MOTOR CO. LTD. Decrease IT and training costs using one single scalable solution with fewer solvers and GUI installations. Reduce specialized IT (perform NVH simulation on the crash cluster). fluid dynamics electromagnetics multiphysics vibro-acoustics welding & heat treatment
