Validate. Predict. Optimize.
Autodesk® Simulation software, part of the Autodesk® solution for Digital Prototyping, provides a range of mechanical simulation tools to help designers and engineers make decisions earlier in the engineering design process. Support for multi-CAD environments and finite element modeling tools help manufacturers study initial design intent and accurately predict product performance. Autodesk Simulation software supports direct data exchange with most CAD software tools, Autodesk® Moldflow® plastic injection molding simulation tools, and Autodesk® Vault data management software. Autodesk Simulation software allows you to validate and optimize designs before manufacturing— increasing efficiency, minimizing reliance on physical prototypes, reducing costs, and decreasing errors.

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 then accurately predict the performance of a complete digital prototype.

Choose The Right Materials
Support for a wide range of linear and nonlinear materials allows for better understanding of the real-world behavior of products. Whatever
materials are included in a design, from metal to rubber, material data is vital to the accuracy of an engineering simulation—allowing designers and
engineers to learn more about how a product will perform or even how it might fail.

Collaborate In A Multi-CAD Environment
Manufacturers often create and share designs in multiple CAD software tools, making it difficult to integrate engineering simulation tools into an existing design process without requiring significant and costly changes. Autodesk Simulation software supports efficient workflows in today’s multi-CAD environment by providing direct geometry exchange and full associativity with Autodesk® Inventor®, Pro/ENGINEER, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, and other software.

Simulate More And Build Fewer Physical Prototypes
Necessary design changes become more apparent when a product’s real-world environment is fully simulated, but computationally intensive analyses can be time and resource intensive. Fast solvers in Autodesk Simulation software utilize the power of all available computing resources to perform parallel and distributed processing, allowing designers and engineers to study more realistic digital prototypes in a practical amount of time.
