ESI’s product portfolio is integrated within three core business lines to virtually replicate product development, testing, and manufacturing with predictive, real-time, immersive physics-based modeling and simulation software:
- Product Performance—Perform virtual testing and validate product performance, such as crash & safety, noise, vibration, & harshness (NVH), acoustics, and system performance.
- Smart Manufacturing—Links single process activities such as stamping, casting, and composite manufacturing to the welding and assembly processes to build a complete virtual manufacturing process chain.
- The casting simulation software ProCAST empowers foundries, toolmakers, and OEMs alike to simulate the complete casting process for defect-free body structures, components, assemblies, and subassemblies – no matter how large or small - reducing material costs while ensuring structural integrity and performance.
- The welding simulation software SYSWELD mitigates weld distortion in welding processes to achieve precise weld quality, reduce rework, and ensure dimensional accuracy for flawless welded assemblies. In addition, the simulation of Local Joining Performance (weld rupture) ensures strong, durable spot weld structures by virtually predicting spot weld strength.
- With the stamping process validation software PAM-STAMP, customers effectively solve sheet metal formability challenges from design, tooling to production with a single tool.
- Human-Centric Process Validation and Product Integration—Virtual reality and immersive experiences focused on product integration, assembly line, and service process validation.
- IC.IDO is ESI’s advanced VR/XR software to immerse oneself in exploring new product concepts from a worker and operator perspective, gaining hands-on experience in the processes required to make and maintain them. Manufacturers get equipped to experience physical interactions and immediately validate product integration strategies as well as assembly line and maintenance processes with yet-to-be-realized product designs without waiting for construction or required traveling to a common site.
