Explore how to validate motion, perform dynamic analysis, and connect CAD to CAE in this self-guided demo

Design validation is critical to delivering high-performance automotive systems—without costly physical iterations. This automated demo walks you through how Siemens helps engineers bridge the gap between CAD and CAE, validate mechanical behavior, and confidently correlate simulations with real-world tests.

What you will learn in this demo:

Validate design and motion performance
Simulate mechanical systems early in the design phase to validate motion, detect issues, and optimize component behavior under real operating conditions.

Seamless CAD to CAE integration
Investigate the dynamic behavior of the gearbox connection assembly using validated mesh models within the full assembly context. Reuse existing meshes and position them directly in the CAD environment.

Advanced simulation techniques
Use lumped mass elements to represent CAD components in simulation, and apply universal connections to integrate complex assemblies. Perform normal modes analysis to evaluate structural response and identify resonant frequencies.

Test and simulation correlation
Compare simulated results with test data to validate models and improve simulation accuracy. Build confidence in your virtual prototypes and reduce the need for physical iterations.
