Autodesk® Simulation Tools

Are your designs becoming increasingly more complex and difficult to manufacture efficiently and economically?
Robust and practical simulation tools are built right into Autodesk® Product Design Suite software, and for those who need to do and know more, there's Autodesk® Simulation and Autodesk® Moldflow® software.

Autodesk software is able to meet the simulation needs of both dedicated analysts and design engineers through a unified and interoperable product portfolio. From industrial and mechanical design to injection moulding and non-linear structural simulations, Digital Prototyping allows you to empower your existing workforce to achieve maximum productivity with the least amount of time and effort. Facing these issues? • Designers and engineers need to make accurate design decisions without building multiple physical prototypes. • Confidence in simulation results is required before investing resources in design changes or new products. • Product designs include a wide range of materials—not just common metals. • Motion, fluid flow, and the combination of multiple physical effects are critical design considerations. • Engineering managers want to expand the simulation toolkit without retraining the design team. • Product design teams need to perform simulation on geometry from multiple CAD software tools. Perform Accurate Simulations Efficiently Simulation enables critical engineering decisions to be made earlier in the design process. With Autodesk Simulation software, designers and engineers have the tools to more easily study initial design intent and help predict the performance of a complete digital prototype. When working with CAD geometry, automatic meshing tools produce high-quality elements on the first pass—resulting in higher simulation accuracy within the areas of greatest engineering concern and helping to predict product performance in less time. Built-in modelling capabilities enable designers and engineers to directly edit the mesh to help with accurate placement of loads and constraints, or create simplified geometry for proof-of-concept studies. In addition to increasing productivity through modelling flexibility, Autodesk Simulation software makes it possible to quickly validate design concepts before resources are invested in significant design changes or new products.
