DEP MeshWorks, developed by Detroit Engineered Products (DEP), is a platform that consists of pre and post-processing functions, encompassing separate toolsets for process automation, advanced meshing, rapid concept CAE & CAD model development, parameterization, and optimisation. The software has been utilized by leading companies across the world to transform the product development cycle and save considerable time and money, enabling faster entry into the market. Using MeshWorks has simplified tedious, time-consuming processes associated with design changes and reduced the product development cycle across multiple industry segments globally since its inception in 2001.

The latest version of DEP MeshWorks offers innovative solutions tailored for customized applications and product development processes. The present line-up of features and functions in MeshWorks supports overcome user challenges by providing a comprehensive end-to-end solution. Many of the MeshWorks modules are designed with unique capabilities utilizing several advanced algorithms/methodologies & AI/ML technologies in the backend that makes it ‘the best’ CAE platform in the current market. Our specialized modules starting from ConceptWorks, eMOD , to CAE parametrization, Multi-disciplinary optimization are created to aid engineers at all stages of product development. These features present themselves as a complete toolkit to enable product designers and engineers to rapidly develop, iterate, and optimize product designs. Additionally, MeshWorks gives the flexibility of faster design, more accurate simulation and enhanced engineering, improving the product from the get-go itself.

Some of our patented technologies focuses on significant impact on product design & development during the early stages, in-turn saving lot of time & effort of engineers. For instance, the CAD Morphing function, has been significantly automated to include both full vehicle level and sub-system level morphing. The FE/CFD pre and post processor engines coupled with engineering process automation reduce the time and manual labour involved in designing a product. With automation, there is increase in efficiency & performance at 30%-70% reduced time. MeshWorks allows users to tailor-fit the platform according to their specific needs through custom module functions. The advanced & innovative function in MeshWorks enables quick and easy methods to study the product design in an elaborate fashion and work on modifications, further accelerating the product development cycle. With MeshWorks we envision to help engineers develop future-ready products and optimize their design by applying the revolutionary CAE techniques.
