description: >-
  SIMULIA is Dassault Systemes' multidisciplinary simulation portfolio for
  evaluating product performance, reliability, and safety before physical
  prototyping. The product family includes Abaqus (nonlinear FEA), CST
  Studio Suite (electromagnetics), Isight (process automation and design
  optimization), fe-safe (durability), Tosca (topology and shape
  optimization), and additional structural, CFD, multibody, and
  vibro-acoustics solvers, integrated on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
  Programmatic access is delivered through scripting interfaces (Python
  for Abaqus, Visual Basic / macros for CST, Java/JavaScript for Isight)
  rather than a public web API.
