CAE Parametrization

What Does CAE Parametrization Do?

MeshWorks provides a powerful platform for full-spectrum CAE model parameterization, enabling engineers to convert conventional FE/CFD models into flexible, intelligent parametric models. Supporting crash, NVH, durability, and more, the module empowers users to run optimization studies, manage configuration changes, and accelerate virtual validation. With support for a wide range of parameter types—including geometry, section, connector, and topology—the platform integrates directly with ROM and AI/ML frameworks to streamline optimization and design space exploration.
