Vehicle Analysis and Simulation
Analysis and simulation solutions from 3D can help you quantify the robustness of a vehicle design and gain insight into the most likely behavior of an automobile even before the vehicle is built. This helps you to reduce the need for physical prototype testing and identify the design flaws earlier in the manufacturing cycle. Our solutions thereby help you optimize design, minimize risk and reduce the costs and improve the turnaround time and your rate of return.

Product Data Management
The 3D team runs projects with maximum information transparency and clearly defined responsibilities. 3D’s PDM solutions provide valuable functionalities with process management, configuration management and change control. The Product Information Flow includes Preliminary Design phase, Design/Analysis, Prototype Build followed by design Verification and Release & Status Tracking.
When the project development is in progress, we continually provide our clients with comprehensive reports and documentation information on project status. Regular reviews ensure that every detail is covered in the development process.
Advanced Engineering Solutions
3D provides Advanced Engineering Solutions like NVH, Crash, Durability, Vehicle Dynamics and Other Additional Services. We offer real time solutions in crashworthiness with the latest CAE technology. We analyse the NVH attributes before the prototype is built to help engineers to understand potential problems and identify solutions early in the design process itself. We work with the industry to solve engineering problems in the area of automotive structural durability and vehicle manoeuvring.
