Background & Challenges

In automotive development, increasing system complexity requires collaboration across multiple domains such as control, mechanics, and electronics. To improve development speed and quality, early-stage collaborative simulation is essential. However, due to the high confidentiality of design data (models), sharing them externally or internationally is difficult. This often leads to rework and increased verification costs when development proceeds without models.

Solution

Our service, moderix®, is a cloud-based platform that enables collaborative simulation without sharing models. It allows secure digital collaboration between different companies through access restrictions. It also includes features for managing usage history and permission status, creating a smooth cooperative environment.

About moderix

moderix is a platform that enables collaborative development in a digital space.

• Cloud-based development environment available on demand
• Digital asset distribution with access control
• Collaborative development environment for coupled analysis while maintaining confidentiality

Use Case 1

Company A, a Japanese firm developing products for overseas markets, wanted to utilize parts models from Japanese suppliers. However, due to the confidentiality of the parts models, providing them overseas was difficult. This led to an inefficient development system where local employees had to travel to Japan and conduct simulations under the supervision of Company A’s staff, coordinating schedules.
With moderix, simulations could be conducted overseas without sharing models, improving early-stage planning and reducing travel, leading to optimized development and cost savings.

Use Case 2

JAMBE (Japan Automotive Model-Based Engineering Center) has adopted moderix to promote model-based development (MBD) and model distribution.
With moderix, co-simulation between OEM vehicle models and supplier component models is possible while maintaining the confidentiality of each model, enabling secure collaborative development across different companies. Furthermore, by reducing rework and other inefficiencies, it contributes to improved development efficiency and higher-quality outcomes.

Trial Available

moderix offers a trial service. Even without your own models, you can experience collaborative simulation using prepared models. Feel free to contact us for inquiries or consultations regarding model-based development.
