During product development, companies have to deal with numerous and often opposing demands, primarily shortening time-to-market, quality control, standards compliance and cost reduction. The drive to be competitive adds further demands, requiring more diversity, innovation, adaptability, services, etc.
Rigorous and effective product development methods are essential for satisfying these technical and financial imperatives. To allow a product to be marketed as quickly as possible, it must therefore be 'good' from the outset. As a consequence, several alternatives must be designed early on, and technical choices validated during the design phase. Just as with rapid prototyping, physical mock-ups, management of technical data and computer assisted design, 3D digital simulation of mechanical behaviour now features among product design methods.

The results delivered by these simulation applications allow relevant business decisions to be made, and support an innovation dynamic, collaboration and exploitation of knowledge.
CATIA and SIMULIA integrated Analysis solutions
CATIA and SIMULIA analysis products from Dassault Systèmes have a logical and ongoing place in this drive for progress. Integrating naturally into a PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) environment, they enable the real mechanical behaviour of mechanical systems to be approached virtually.
- CATIA V5 Analysis for linear static analysis and modal analysis, for a part or an assembly. This solution includes standard and advanced meshing functionality
- SIMULIA Analysis Extended for basic non-linear static analysis, thermal analysis and mechanical-thermal analysis.
- SIMULIA Analysis for Experts for static non-linear analysis, thermal analysis, mechanical-thermal analysis, explicit dynamic analysis, etc.
Working with Keonys
Keonys can provide the following services for deploying or integrating simulation within product design, using in part the Analysis solutions from Dassault Systèmes:
- standard or tailored training on all the Dassault Systèmes finite element simulation solutions mentioned above.
- consulting services to help you build methodologies relating to finite element analysis in the CATIA geometric environment.
- implementation projects to integrate the Dassault-Systèmes simulation solutions mentioned above into your design process.
