Multiphysics
The rapid evolution of simulation software, user expertise, and cheap, fast computers has led many simulation experts to explore ways to introduce more realism into simulations and to simulate more complex physical behavior. This approach is not an academic exercise—increased fidelity of simulations to the real world provides better insight into physical behavior and improves confidence in simulation-driven decision making. Getting closer to simulating real-world behavior leads to new and better products.

"We support SIMULIA and their vision for offering comprehensive multiphysics solutions. Combined with our own expert system and the existing MpCCI-enabled fluid structure interaction coupling solution of our STAR-CD product with Abaqus, this new direct coupling will offer mutual customers the utmost flexibility in performing multiphysics analyses."

One way to get closer to realistic behavior in simulation is to include more than one physical aspect in a coupled approach—where one aspect of physics (for example, structural response) affects and is affected by another (for example, fluid flow). Simulations which incorporate multiple physics in this way are termed multiphysics simulations, and the individual physics involved are said to be coupled. Multiphysics simulation can be loosely coupled or tightly coupled, depending on how intimate the effects of one aspect has on the other as the solution progresses.
SIMULIA provides a platform for multiphysics simulation as well as multiphysics solutions targeted at important applications in multiple industries.
