  Luis Felipe , Application Engineer Manager, VIAS3D

  Eduar Villegas , Engineering Manager, Magnetron

  Simulation of electrical transformers presents key challenges: transport-induced dynamics that risk component damage, thermal management to ensure reliable oil cooling, and blast events driven by rapid pressure rises. As part of this work, we will also showcase EMAG analyses performed with CST Studio Suite to complement the structural and thermal studies. Technically, we begin with a frequency analysis to identify natural modes and avoid resonance issues. We then run explicit dynamic studies to evaluate transport scenarios and mitigation measures. For cooling, we perform CFD to assess oil flow distribution and heat removal under natural and forced convection conditions. For explosion-type events, we compare pressure–time loading, SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics), and CEL (Coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian) methods. The complete MODSIM workflow connects SOLIDWORKS design with 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation for model management, solving, and traceability—helping teams iterate faster, improve product quality, reduce time-to-market, and enhance competitiveness.

  Comparison Between Simulation Results and Real Data from a Space Mission

  Mugurel-Liviu Balan , R&D Director, Romanian InSpace Engineering S.R.L.

  This session will present a comparison between thermal simulation results and real measurements from the DropCoal experiment installed on the International Space Station (ISS). DropCoal is a device that performs multiple liquids coalescence in microgravity. Being a controlled environment, a stringent requirement is that the housing maintains a touch temperature under a given maximum. This was the starting point for the thermal analyses run using the SOLIDWORKS Thermal Simulation tools. The device model was designed so that the analysis would generate not only important information about the exterior enclosure but also relevant results for the subsystems within it. With the experiment later successfully operating in the microgravity of the Space Station, we were able to analyze the resulting thermal parameters from the thermal sensors inside and compare them with those extracted from the thermal analyses.

  Running a simulation is not just about hitting Run. In design, what you see is what you get. In simulation, what you get is what you set up. In this session, we will reveal 20 essential Dos and Don’ts every analyst and designer should know to boost accuracy, save compute time, and avoid common pitfalls. We will cover: • Choosing the right mesh element type • Solver strategies that shorten run time instead of dragging it out • When to use shells, beams, and rigid connections effectively • Smart use of virtual bolts, pins, and contacts for realistic assemblies • Large displacement and adaptive methods and when they help • Loads, boundary conditions, and materials that actually reflect reality You will leave with a practical checklist that acts as your built-in validation system, one you can use immediately to safeguard every analysis you run in SOLIDWORKS or the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Make your simulations faster, sharper, and more trustworthy. Do not just run. Run smart.

  Mooove Over for the MOO-TIVATOR 2.0: Motion Simulation-Empowered SOLIDWORKS Design
  • Wednesday, Feb 411:15 AM - 12:00 PM CST

  Ken Mansfield , Senior Mechanical Engineer, Seneca Dairy Systems

  Srikrishna Chittur , Worldwide Go-To-Market Leader: Cloud Simulation for SOLIDWORKS, Dassault Systèmes

  The Moo-tivator 2.0, a crowd-management gate that guides cows to the milking parlor, introduced more complex motion dynamics, unique behaviors, and new structural challenges. Instead of costly prototypes, we turned to MODSIM: unified MODeling and SIMulation. Using SOLIDWORKS, 3D Motion Creator (xMotion), and the Structural Engineer Role on the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we built a seamless workflow to analyze motion, forces, and structural integrity early in the design process. This approach validated performance, revealed weak points, and guided improvements without extensive testing. You may not be herding cows, but you’ve likely faced tricky mechanisms, drive systems, or unproven parts. Join us to see how MODSIM predicts real-world behavior, accelerates development, and boosts confidence in your designs, while cutting reliance on physical prototypes.

  Simulation Showdown: Man vs. Machine
  • Wednesday, Feb 411:15 AM - 12:00 PM CST

  Ronit Mukherjii , Sr Industry Process Consultant, Dassault Systèmes

  This is your invitation to guess design outcomes (Will the bracket survive? Which design is lighter but stronger?). Then run the simulation to prove it. Similarly, for CFD, guess the best placement for fans in an electronics enclosure. We will have a few datasets and let the audience guess and vote. There will be giveaways for those who correctly guess the best designs. Compete against the simulation and other attendees to solve the simulations for a final tally. This will be a fun, fast-paced, interactive session with a lot of audience participation.

  Accelerate Development of Industrial Equipment with Fluids Simulation
  • Wednesday, Feb 43:15 PM - 4:00 PM CST

  Kevin Carvalho , SIMULIA R&D Application Senior Manager, Dassault Systèmes

  New designs for industrial equipment must balance a range of competing requirements. The new equipment must meet strict safety, environmental, and operational requirements. Additional challenges can arise from compliance with regulatory standards, integration of new technologies, and ensuring manufacturability. Understanding the equipment performance early in the design phase – as accomplished through simulation – can identify ways to improve the design and help prevent costly surprises after physical prototyping begins. The Fluid Dynamics Engineer role on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform enables simulation of fluid and thermal phenomena, including optimizing flow distribution, ensuring effective thermal management, and minimizing pressure losses. In this presentation, we’ll highlight the power of Fluid Dynamics Engineer to quickly compute KPIs for industrial equipment designs, supporting the development of centrifugal pumps, valves, heat exchangers, mixing devices, and similar equipment.

  Designing Equipment Without Physical Testing – Thanks to Unified MODeling & SIMulation (MODSIM)
  • Wednesday, Feb 44:15 PM - 5:00 PM CST

  Andrew Tuxford , Chief Engineer, GEARS Mining

  In this session you will learn how GEARS produce products for our mining and motorsport divisions that rely solely on MODSIM. The some of the products we design are bespoke and change nearly every time we make them, which makes physical testing impossible. We trust MODSIM for all of our testing with the products being physically tested for the first time in their first use.

  Mitigating Design Risks in Aerospace Ground Systems with Structural Simulation Powered-by Abaqus
  • Wednesday, Feb 44:15 PM - 5:00 PM CST

  Nicolas Resende Rossetto , Head - Tech Communication, SKA

  NCE (Núcleo de Cálculos Especiais), a Brazilian CAE firm with 49+ years and 400,000+ analysis hours, applied SIMULIA  Abaqus to the MLBR rocket launch structure developed by Cenic Engenharia for the Brazilian Space Agency (AEB). The objective was to establish a unified FEA framework capable of accurately predicting structural durability and static/dynamic response under real load conditions. The methodology integrated nonlinear static analysis, transient dynamic simulations, and correlation with proprietary sensor data to reproduce operational environments. Preliminary results delivered high-fidelity stress predictions, early identification of durability issues, and design optimization, reducing the need for physical prototypes and accelerating validation. Supported by SKA, this project demonstrates the strategic value of Abaqus Unified FEA in mitigating design risk and enabling efficient, cost-effective development of aerospace structures.
