Simulation modeling or Predictive modeling is a potent tool for developing experimental computer models that are exact copies of an existing system. These models include an AutoCAD layout, and are enhanced visually through animation to verify that the model is running just like the real system. In addition, the model runs real-world patient or product schedules and the behavior of the computer model can be benchmarked against the real system if it exists. Once a simulation model has been created, we can efficiently and accurately run detailed experiments on the computer model, and tune it for outstanding performance without ever disturbing the real system. Simulation is also commonly used to design new systems from scratch. Starting with a mere concept, our simulation models are regularly used to craft the "perfect facility, hospital, or clinic" for your organization. Simulation is also utilized as an improvement tool to existing systems that under-perform.

Simcenter speeds the entire process for simulating laminate composite materials through a seamless connection to composites design.

Today, product simulation is often being performed by engineering groups using niche simulation tools from different vendors to simulate various design attributes. The use of multiple vendor software products creates inefficiencies and increases costs. SIMULIA delivers a scalable suite of unified analysis products that allow all users, regardless of their simulation expertise or domain focus, to collaborate and seamlessly share simulation data and approved methods without loss of information fidelity. The Abaqus Unified FEA product suite offers powerful and complete solutions for both routine and sophisticated engineering problems covering a vast spectrum of industrial applications. In the automotive industry engineering work groups are able to consider full vehicle loads, dynamic vibration, multibody systems, impact/crash, nonlinear static, thermal coupling, and acoustic-structural coupling using a common model data structure and integrated solver technology.
