Hexagon Enhances Smart Manufacturing Capabilities with CADLM Acquisition
Hexagon AB announced the acquisition of CADLM SAS, a pioneer in powering computer-aided engineering (CAE) with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to revolutionize the impact of simulation in product development processes and lifecycles.
Founded in 1989, France-based CADLM has years of experience developing computational design and optimization methods for industrial products and processes, and since 2014 has been developing AI and machine learning solutions. Its ODYSSEE software platform applies AI and machine learning to real-world sensor data and physics-based simulation data to produce accurate, predictive models of a product at efficient computing power levels. The combination enables faster, more efficient simulations of dynamic, multi-physics phenomena - such as automotive crash and safety - that fully characterize and understand real-world product behavior. This insight enables engineers to explore the design space more extensively and interactively and improve next-generation products without prohibitive computing cost or time.
