Streamline Product Development with AI-Driven Design & Engineering
AI-powered engineering accelerates productivity, reduces complexity and sharpens your competitive edge
Design Smarter, Faster and Right the First Time
How do you keep up with growing complexity, tighter deadlines and limited resources—without compromising innovation? Are you ready to streamline the product development process at a low cost?
Navigating a highly competitive environment with shifting market demands is difficult for designers and engineers from product development organizations. Embracing innovation that fosters competitive differentiation and delivering products quickly are key to sustaining and accelerating your business growth.
Right by Design: What if you could unleash innovation and boost productivity at the same time? The Design & Engineering bundles from 3DEXPERIENCE PLM Express improve design robustness and flexibility through AI engineering tools. Integrated Virtual Companions help automatically generate accurate solutions and automate repetitive tasks so you can focus more on exploring innovative alternatives while being compliant with established design and engineering rules.
This robust design foundation expands to include the automation of tolerancing processes via AI, a Model-Based approach and static simulation to predict the structural behavior of the mechanical assembly under loads. You can also validate and optimize moving mechanisms by studying sub-mechanisms individually or in combination. As a result, you enhance product accuracy, maintain design intent, ensure feasibility and cost-efficiency from development to manufacturing.

Hirth Engines
Before moving its design and engineering processes to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud, Hirth was already familiar with Dassault Systèmes software. Engineers used CATIA V5 to design all engines and components and while the solution delivered all the capabilities they needed, they relied on a file-based system to store and manage all data, which was prone to error.
Our performance is far better. We can work from anywhere in the world, as long as we have internet access. This connectivity also makes it possible to work simultaneously on a product as we can see live updates and you can’t overwrite yourself, even in the same assembly.
