Manual Simulation Workflows Are Costing Engineers Time They Don't Have
Most design studies aren't a single run. They're dozens, sometimes hundreds, of variations, and each one comes with the same manual overhead: editing input files by hand, kicking off runs across different tools, pulling results together before you can even start drawing conclusions. That overhead eats the time engineers should spend on the part that matters, interpreting results and making decisions. A study that could take a few hours of setup ends up costing two weeks of repetitive work instead.

Webinar Scope

12Simulate walks through what a structured, automated simulation process actually looks like in practice. You'll see how to link multiple simulation tools into one workflow, run large batches of design variations without manual intervention, and use DOE and optimization to cover the design space in a fraction of the time manual iteration takes.

Topics Covered

• Where manual simulation workflows break down at scale

• Setting up an automated simulation process end to end

• DOE: screening designs and identifying sensitivities

• Optimization: finding the best design, not settling for a good one

• Running batch studies overnight or unattended

• Handling and visualizing large result sets

• Linking multiple tools into a single automated workflow

What This Approach Delivers

• Compatible with commercial codes: Abaqus, Ansys, Nastran, and others

• Links to in-house and custom codes

• Direct integration with Excel and MATLAB

• Broad set of DOE and optimization algorithms

• Fully automated, parametric execution

• Centralized tracking, visualization, and post-processing for large datasets

Who Should Attend?

• Engineers running repetitive or large scale design studies

• Teams working across commercial, in-house, and spreadsheet based tools

• Anyone wanting to apply DOE or optimization but not sure where to start

• Engineers who spend more time running simulations than analyzing them

Bonus for Attendees

• Attendees get 2 months of free access to Isight
