3DEXPERIENCE GENERATIVE DESIGN
Sophisticated, CAE-driven design optimization in a CATIA CAD environment
Validate Your Designs
3DEXPERIENCE GENERATIVE DESIGN allows non-specialists to automatically generate FEA-validated designs that meet functional and design requirements. With these intuitive new workflows, users can easily optimize part and assembly design for weight, stiffness, cost, material usage, and more.
“We chose a 3D EXPERIENCE Works Simulation solution because it’s cloud-based, which supports our remotely located engineering organization, works seamlessly with SOLIDWORKS design data, and incorporates the Abaqus Explicit solver, which is best suited for the types of simulation studies that we need to conduct on our parts, which can involve hyperelasticity, creep, fatigue, and contact.”
– Thomas Morgan
Design Engineer 
HIGHLIGHTS
Let Simulation Generate the Design for You
Trial and error isn't the only way to find a working design. With 3D EXPERIENCE GENERATIVE DESIGN, you define the design space in CAD and the functional requirements as FEA or CFD, and the simulation loop converges on the optimal geometry according to your needs.
A New Application for Industry-Leading Tools
Setup your design optimization tasks and refine the output with CATIA -based 3D CAD tools. 3D EXPERIENCE SIMULATION solvers power the generative design process that accurately optimizes for stress, stiffness, frequency, mass, flow characteristics, and much more.
For Experts and Nonexperts Alike
Workflow assistants, clean interface, and cloud PDM integration make it easy to use the tools and work with others in the process as you optimize designs, compare variants, balance KPIs, and make the right designs decisions.
