Autodesk® Simulation software, part of the Autodesk® solution for Digital Prototyping, provides a range of mechanical simulation tools to help designers, engineers, and analysts make decisions earlier in the engineering design process. With these tools, you can predict the real‐world performance of your product, helping to save the time and money required to build multiple physical prototypes.

Autodesk® Simulation software lets you start with mainstream tools and then expand your toolkit to include more advanced simulation such as mechanical event simulation, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and multiphysics—without the need to learn new workflows.

Real-world product behavior is often the result of multiple physical effects interacting simultaneously.

With Autodesk® Simulation Multiphysics software, you can study these effects by combining results from different analysis types to help predict a product's real-world performance.

The setup of multiphysics simulations is made easier through the use of standard engineering terminology, workflow guidance, and user-friendly tools and wizards that automate the transfer of simulation results between multiple analyses—letting you focus on product performance, not advanced numerical or simulation methods.

Autodesk® Simulation software includes modeling flexibility for multiphysics simulations, allowing you to create meshes that are best suited for each of the different analysis types in a multiphysics simulation—optimizing model size and complexity.

Autodesk® Simulation software then maps the results between the different meshes to get more accurate simulation results while also significantly reducing solution times.

Support for multi-CAD environments and finite element modeling tools help manufacturers study initial design intent and accurately predict product performance. Autodesk® Simulation software supports direct data exchange with most CAD software tools, Autodesk® Moldflow® plastic injection molding simulation tools, and Autodesk® Vault data management software. Autodesk® Simulation software allows you to validate and optimize designs before manufacturing—increasing efficiency, minimizing reliance on physical prototypes, reducing costs, and decreasing errors.
