Structural Mechanics (VPS)
Simulate Smarter. Deliver Safer.
Structural Mechanics (VPS) delivers high-fidelity simulation for crash, safety, strength, and dynamics early in the vehicle development cycle. Built on decades of expertise, Structural Mechanics (VPS) combines fast solvers, multi-scale modeling, and advanced material libraries to ensure accurate, repeatable results. Engineers gain integrated workflows, model order reduction, and co-simulation capabilities—accelerating design validation, reducing physical tests, and meeting evolving safety standards with confidence.
ADMORE
Accelerate Crash Optimization with Reduced Order Modeling.
ADMORE is Reduced Order Modeling (ROM) solution for structural crash optimization. By leveraging sPGD and ReCUR methods, ADMORE simplifies complex simulations, enabling engineers to explore thousands of design variations in days—not weeks. Proven in real-world applications, ADMORE dramatically reduces simulation time and cost while maintaining high accuracy. It empowers non-specialists to contribute to crash design, democratizing innovation and accelerating safe, lightweight vehicle development.
Virtual Seat Solution (VSS)
Predict Seat Performance. Optimize Occupant Comfort.
Virtual Seat Solution (VSS), a module within CAE Structural Mechanics, enables high fidelity simulation of seat structure, comfort, and occupant interaction early in the development lifecycle. Leveraging validated material models, detailed foam and trim behavior, and occupant coupling, VSS helps engineers accurately predict seat performance under static, dynamic, and crash loading. Integrated workflows and efficient solvers support rapid design iteration, reducing physical prototypes, accelerating certification readiness, and delivering seats that meet evolving regulatory and customer requirements with confidence.

Structural Mechanics (VPS) is a high-fidelity simulation platform designed for crash, safety, strength, and dynamic analysis early in the vehicle development cycle. It combines fast solvers, multi-scale modeling, and advanced material libraries to help engineers reduce physical testing and accelerate validation.
VPS minimizes the need for expensive prototypes by enabling accurate virtual testing early in the design process. Its fast solvers, unified modeling, and automation streamline workflows—shortening development cycles while improving reliability.
VPS is widely used in industries where safety and structural performance are critical, including:
- Automotive (crash safety, airbags, seats)
- Aerospace & defense (impact, shock, and structural safety)
- Transportation and heavy machinery
Use cases include crash and safety simulation, airbag engineering, battery safety for EVs, vehicle strength and dynamics, water management, and seat design. Each use case helps engineers improve safety, reliability, and performance through virtual testing.
Automotive engineers, CAE specialists, and multidisciplinary design teams gain the most value, especially those focused on improving safety performance, reducing prototypes, optimizing lightweight structures, and meeting evolving regulatory standards.
VPS helps organizations move toward virtual testing, where many safety evaluations can be performed digitally before physical prototypes exist. By simulating standardized tests and real-world conditions, engineers can validate designs earlier and improve confidence before performing physical validation.
ADMORE is a Reduced Order Modeling (ROM) solution that accelerates crash optimization by enabling exploration of thousands of design variations in days instead of weeks—without compromising accuracy. It allows both specialists and non-specialists to contribute to crash design.
