Automotive engineers increasingly balance safety, weight, and environmental impact when designing electric vehicles. Dassault Systèmes‘ CATIA MODSIM approach addresses this using CATIA, SIMULIA, and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, uniting modeling, simulation, and eco-assessment in one workflow.
Engineers evaluate materials like metals, composites, and wood-based composites, alongside production technologies, through structural, thermal, and electromagnetic simulations, plus topology optimization for lightweighting. An eco-design application tracks carbon emissions across the value chain, from raw materials to end-of-life. The integrated approach aims to support safer, lighter, low-carbon vehicles, offering engineers a collaborative path toward more sustainable mobility.
