MODSIM: From Two Worlds to One Story
Modeling and simulation — once powerful yet disconnected — are now unified through the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform to rewrite the future of innovation.
Redefining Innovation With MODSIM
For years, modeling and simulation evolved on separate paths — delivering powerful but disconnected tools — leaving engineering teams to navigate:
- Fragmented systems and siloed teams that delay project timelines
- Complex modeling and simulation tools that introduce complexities, risking cost overruns and diminishing ROI
- The uphill battle of integrating simulation seamlessly into the design process, especially across complex organizations
- The challenge of managing all of the data generated from design and validation
- Trade-offs between sustainability, performance and costs
But that’s the old story.
Dassault Systèmes’ unified modeling and simulation approach, or MODSIM, is set to rewrite the story — empowering teams to innovate faster, reduce risks and ensure better outcomes from the start.
A Common Data Model With Infinite Possibilities
Powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, MODSIM unifies modeling and simulation on one common data model — providing the pillars of seamless integration, collaboration and end-to-end digital continuity that make artificial intelligence (AI) integration possible.
This integration allows the automation and democratization of simulation. It enables the simulation of designs early on (shift-left) and ensures parameters and KPIs are met in the design phase. MODSIM helps reduce late-stage rework significantly, driving greater accuracy and boosting product performance optimization.
MODSIM’s revolutionary approach doesn’t just transform businesses — it accelerates innovation by expanding the design space available to engineers. This makes it possible to deliver solutions that could not have been imagined before.

AI in Engineering Simulation: A New Narrative
While competitors offer modeling and simulation separately, they fail to deliver a unified platform that supports end-to-end design and validation with complete governance — all whilst maintaining digital continuity. These structured and organized datasets can then be enhanced by AI and machine learning, so that MODSIM delivers speed, precision and performance at every stage from concept to production. Here’s how:
- Unified Data Model
- Seamless Collaboration
- Advanced Product Design
The power of a unified and common data model
MODSIM within a common data model allows every team to work on a single source of truth from the start. Instead of exporting data across packages at every stage, teams can deliver a continuous cyclical improvement process. This is all done whilst leveraging digitised corporate knowledge and know-how, through templates and pre-defined project, resource and validation plans.
Assystem
In its pre- and post-assessment, Assystem reduced 20% of the time to perform specific tasks. A single integrated platform of information with improved bill of materials, requirements and document management, along with digital modeling and simulation of the construction sequence and planning, led Assystem to higher productivity, fewer modifications and reworks, and safer facility operations.
Seamless collaboration between engineers and analysts
With MODSIM, designers and analysts work better together from the beginning. Democratization of simulation shortens development time, breaking siloed systems and accelerating innovation. Teams iterate faster, validate earlier and meet customer demands with greater agility and engineering efficiency. AI can be used to gain further insights into the data generated and speed up the generation of new data.
Knust-Godwin
Knust-Godwin reduced product development and lead times from two years down to eight months — a 67% reduction, while post-machining processes dropped from 12 steps to just two.
AI-driven product optimization
MODSIM with AI can drive advanced product design optimization processes and enable designers to design confidently and simulate with precision. This approach allows accurate prediction of product behavior — not just under ideal conditions but in the real world. This optimization and virtual prototyping enable companies to get it right the first time, ensuring success in the early design or prototype stage, minimizing risks and averting costly late-stage rework.
Neta Auto
When Neta adopted modeling and simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, it reduced physical testing by 40% per project, saved over RMB 2 million (€260,000) in cost and released its product a month earlier than projected. Early virtual validation also cut prototype-stage issues by up to 20%, saving almost RMB 10 million (€1.3 million) in R&D costs.
Easy, Scalable, Accessible
But, is MODSIM hard to adopt? Not at all. MODSIM on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud, makes it highly affordable and accessible for big and mid-size companies alike. Let’s debunk more MODSIM misconceptions here.
