The application of CAE early in a product’s design cycle can make an important difference in its cost and functionality. However the level of fidelity of the design early in the cycle limits the application of many traditional CAE tools. Fortunately this is where systems modeling can be applied due to the nature of utilizing a more abstract representation of the overall system and its components.

• CAE drives the design more
today than ever before.
• Therefore, it is vital that
simulation represent reality to
the maximum extent possible.
• Multiphysics simulation provides
the opportunity for significantly

• We live in a “One” physics
universe, but our
application of math splits it
into “Multiphysics”
• “3D” or “Geometry/Mesh”
based physics in
engineering
• “1D” or “Idealized” based
physics in engineering
