Services Portfolio

At your request, we can perform a Business Value Assessment. This process captures information about your product development goals and simulation practices to assist in defining the right plan for your needs. Our professionals work with you to create a blueprint for your implementation that includes a complete definition of the project, a realistic schedule of deliverables, and a clear cost and ROI estimate.

This packaged services engagement offers the best combination of SIMULIA services to your team to get them on the fast track to enhanced productivity. Our Simulation QuickStart Program combines software installation, administrator training, system tuning, Abaqus Overview training, and onsite consulting in a cost effective two-week package. We place an experienced engineer on site to provide you with the most efficient start-up environment possible—from installation through the initiation of your first project.

Our Professional Services teams have created customized training for a wide range of clients based on their specific training requirements. With a custom training session you can tailor the agenda to cover the information that will benefit your engineering team the most. You can also use model examples that include your typical geometries, materials, and design procedures.

Our SIMULIA Professional Services staff is available to perform basic-to-advanced analysis consulting for a wide range of applications and industries. Examples of projects include expert consulting for unique analysis jobs, contracted services (on- or off-site) to assist with major projects, short-term peak workload assistance to meet tight deadlines, or full-time on-site consulting services.

The best material definition…the best element selection…the best method needed to simulate the physics of reality. How much knowledge is required to make the right decisions? What is the cost of “trial and error” approaches? Validated and approved methods can make a significant difference when developing simulation models for realistic analysis. Determining the ideal combination of factors ensures faster delivery of the desired result—a validated method for the realistic simulation of your product or engineering process. With this service, advanced analysis methods are tailored to your specific needs and integrated with your design process. By leveraging your internal analysis knowledge with our expertise in the implementation of Abaqus, we can deliver significant efficiencies and cost savings by providing the proper documented simulation methodology to your organization.

Our engineers can also work with you to develop formulations for Multidisciplinary Optimization (MDO) as well as integrate your own optimization algorithms into the simulation methods. We can help you to define your design exploration plans, define, validate, and integrate your analysis processes, and explore parallel design methods.

Through our Implementation Mentoring Program, you will have the advantage of “on call,” one-on-one expert simulation expertise. This remote service pairs you with a senior staff engineer to work on your specific engineering implementation. You will be able to ensure that you are on track with your simulation methods, validate your model setup, address technology transfer, or simply brainstorm ideas for improving the fidelity of your analysis. Our engineer will become intimately involved in understanding your product performance requirements and deliverable objectives.

From packaged hourly engagements to yearly fixed price contracts, we offer tiered mentoring service plans to meet your needs. Contact us so that we can work with you to define a mentoring program that delivers added value to your organization.

SIMULIA offers customization services for your advanced applications and specific needs. For example, advanced applications may require the use of custom user subroutines to extend Abaqus for support of specialized material models, elements, output variables, or loads.

Customized vertical “turnkey” applications for Isight and Fiper are also available to address your company’s specific problems. We can help you to define your design process, integrate your simulation tools (such as CAD, CAE, CFD, or in-house tools), automate your design process, and explore your design problem. Our engineers can also develop custom, easy-to-use Isight and Fiper graphical user interfaces that are tailored for your application needs and presented to your users in a language they can understand.

With extensive experience in customization, our engineers offer the fastest and most robust way to add specific functionality for your analysis requirements.

SIMULIA allows you to get more from your Abaqus Unified FEA suite through our extensions for Abaqus. Extensions cover a wide array of additional software components including macros and plug-ins, web-based applications, Abaqus/CAE-based applications, user subroutines, and python scripts.

By capturing standard workflows and proven methods through a customized user interface or through open standards like HTML, process automation solutions enable you to deliver Abaqus technology to a broader spectrum of users. You can embed sophisticated techniques in day-to-day engineering activities, which enables your engineering design and analysis community to collaborate using approved processes to perform advanced FEA. Our services team has experience in delivering a wide range of process automation solutions, ranging from complete vertical applications to simple task and workflow automation.

For the most in-depth and rapid response possible, we place our Professional Services engineers on-site. While working in your environment, our on-site engineers can perform advanced analyses, document methods, train your staff, and perform other duties that are specific to your day-to-day operations.

Given a defined engineering problem, our engineers can also provide design exploration support. They can use their expert knowledge and hands-on experience, combined with Isight’s powerful design study engine, to explore your problem's design space and come up with a solution.

In addition to extending your resources, this service often provides the fastest way to build your in-house simulation expertise.

SIMULIA provides SLM implementation services to help you integrate your simulation processes within established Product Lifecycle Management environments. SIMULIA Professional Services can help you implement SIMULIA SLM right out of the box, provide needed configurations, or create a customized SLM solution to meet your specific requirements.
