OPTIMUS makes digital prototyping possible and practical. The OPTIMUS package easily captures your current simulation processes. It automatically explores the design space using Design of Experiments (DOE) and Response Surface Modeling (RSM) techniques, giving you insight into the variations of a design and the related 'trade-offs'.

OPTIMUS can link to any simulation code, including in-house code and little supported ‘legacy’ systems, so the user works faster and more effectively with existing codes and models. The need to start again with new and unfamiliar tools can be avoided: earlier investments in design analysis systems can be re-used.

A key feature is the multi-disciplinary nature of the process: the results of a whole range of performance simulation tools, and even non-physical analyses such as cost estimation, can be used to define the business objectives.

Application areas include mechanical, structural and fluid dynamics and thermal and other design attributes in the automotive, aerospace and marine industries; electronic components, medical and domestic products and consumer goods; civil engineering and energy; resource management and business planning.
