We were honored to have Benjamin Beckelynck from Technia present at the 2026 SIMULIA Americas Users Conference in Novi, Michigan, May 13-14, 2026.

Abstract: 

In today’s competitive engineering landscape, simulation teams must deliver results faster, with greater robustness and traceability. This presentation introduces a structured “Analyst’s Journey” on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform—progressing from Bronze to Olympian level—to transform simulation practices through MODSIM integration.

Starting with improved FE model preparation, attendees will learn how to reduce meshing time by up to 50% while increasing model quality and ensuring full traceability. At the Bronze level, Parametric Design Studies enable rapid exploration of design variables, tolerances, and load cases, supporting DOE, optimization, and risk assessment.

At the Silver and Gold levels, simulation processes are formalized using Process Composer and Engineering Templates, capturing best practices and reducing model preparation time by up to 90%. These methods standardize workflows, integrate multiphysics and third-party tools, and preserve simulation expertise without complex scripting.

Finally, the Olympian level demonstrates how Process Studio can deploy simulation as customizable web applications, empowering non-experts to execute validated workflows without opening native simulation software—eliminating repetitive preparation and reporting tasks.

Through practical examples and measurable productivity gains, this session illustrates how organizations can scale simulation, improve collaboration, and truly work smarter with MODSIM on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
