Description
PDS® is an all-encompassing and advanced computer-aided design and engineering tool. Focused on production efficiency, PDS ensures optimal design outcomes while minimizing the overall installed costs associated with projects. This application not only boosts value and mitigates risk but also maintains the integrity of data throughout the process. Since the mid-1980s, it has been the preferred choice among owner operators and engineering, procurement, and construction firms worldwide for various design initiatives. It features dynamic walkthroughs, enabling operations and maintenance teams to engage with the virtual plant before actual construction begins. Moreover, PDS offers a specification-driven design approach, performing both "hard" and "soft" interference checks, and it generates precise material take-offs. Additionally, it comes equipped with a wealth of customizable reference data that adheres to industry standards, further enhancing its utility in diverse engineering projects.
Description
Simcenter Inspire is a Siemens CAE solution built for designers who want to integrate simulation, optimization, and manufacturability analysis directly into the design workflow. It provides a unified environment for geometry modeling, generative design, manufacturing simulation, and performance validation. The platform helps teams explore design concepts quickly while understanding structural, motion, and fluid behavior earlier in development. Simcenter Inspire offers a CAD-like experience, making advanced computational physics more accessible to users who may not be traditional simulation specialists. Its hybrid modeling capabilities allow users to combine BRep, PolyNURBS organic modeling, facets, and implicit geometry with intelligent sketching and construction history. Embedded solvers help automate or remove meshing steps, enabling faster analysis while maintaining accuracy. The software includes optimization tools that support lightweighting, material reduction, structural improvement, and manufacturable design outcomes. Simcenter Inspire also includes specialized tools such as Inspire Cast, Inspire Form, Inspire Mold, Inspire Extrude, Inspire Polyfoam, Inspire 3D Print, Inspire Render, and Inspire Studio. By connecting ideation, validation, optimization, and production planning, Simcenter Inspire helps companies reduce development cycles and create better-performing parts.
