PCDesign · Platform Design Automation
A CAE-data-based design system: build and modify full-vehicle models without CAD.
Core functions
Fast Reverse Modeling
Build CAE models directly from scan data — no CAD required.
Easy CAE Modeling
Model, modify, and investigate the FE model during concept design.
Automated CAE Analysis
Boundary-condition setup and batch run submission.
Detail
Scan data handling
Build CAE models directly from scan data, no CAD required.
Control volume mapping
Morph a reference vehicle onto a new package — large car to small car in under five minutes.
Point mapping
2/3/4-point component mapping for chassis systems.
Reverse engineering module
Automated model build from measured geometry.
Section & clip plane
Automatic section-movie generation sweeps a cut plane through the model, output as AVI or animated GIF.
Integrated pre/post
CAE pre- and post-processing in one environment.
