How simulation training can accelerate product development

 In this blog post I will talk about the importance of simulation training in getting meaningful results quicker. 

How Simulation Training Accelerates Product Development 

In today’s competitive market, simulation training is a catalyst for faster product development and cost reduction. By leveraging advanced multi-physics tools like Dymola, engineers and designers can achieve meaningful results faster, ensuring robust models including virtual twins and optimised integrated systems. 

Why Simulation Training Matters

Simulation is essential for understanding complex, multi-domain systems without the expense and delays of physical prototypes. At Claytex, we use Dymola because it was designed from the ground up for simulating interactions across multiple physics domains.

This makes it ideal for industries that rely on high performance dynamic simulation, including motorsport, automotive OEMs, wind energy, marine engineering, and mechanical watchmaking.

The Power of Dymola and Modelica

Dymola enables users to create models, functions, and Modelica classes from scratch, offering unparalleled flexibility using the acausal modelling language Modelica. Its ability to handle a vast range of applications has driven adoption among top-tier motorsport teams and research organisations. However, this versatility comes with a learning curve, without proper training, users typically adopt non-optimal modelling approaches. 

Why Training is Essential

Highly capable tools require user training for quick uptake and maximum feature utilisation. Our simulation training courses are designed to:

• Teach best practices for robust, bug-free model development.
• Minimise wasted time on dead ends and rework.
• Accelerate proficiency in creating libraries, models, and functions.

Within just a few days, you’ll gain the foundations needed to build reliable models and achieve faster simulation results.

Workshops for Real-World Applications

After foundational training, our advanced workshops focus on your specific systems. You bring your data and objectives; we bring decades of modelling expertise. Together, we optimise component models and overall system performance while transferring knowledge to your team. 

The Business Impact

Investing £2–5k in training will cut down on self-learning times by months and significant development effort by:

• Accelerating knowledge transfer of simulation fundamentals.
• Providing targeted, application-specific techniques for your industry.

Faster model development means quicker system analysis, optimised performance, and ultimately faster time-to-market with lower development cost.
