ESI Group launches ESI-Xplorer, a new systems modeling solution integrated into ESI's multi-domain simulation platform Visual-Environment. ESI-Xplorer is designed to address the needs of system engineers for systems design and analysis from the early stage of the product development process. ESI-Xplorer provides a complete model-based design platform, accounting for the physics involved, thus allowing engineers to accurately verify and validate system architectures. Integration of the product inside ESI's collaborative platform Visual-Environment enables manufacturers to bridge the gap between systems modeling (0D-1D) and product validation (3D). "Managing the complexity inherent to advanced systems modelling requires mastering the architecture of the model, the multi-domain dynamic behavior, and the link between model, simulation and system engineering," said Dr. Emmanuel Arnoux, Expert in Systems Simulation, ADAS & Autonomous Driving Department at Renault. "This is why system simulation software is becoming a necessity." Since acquiring CyDesign Labs Inc. in October 2013, ESI has worked on the integration of systems modeling into its product portfolio.
