Autodesk® Simulation Mechanical and Autodesk® Simulation Multiphysics software provide fast, accurate, and flexible mechanical simulation tools to help predict product performance, optimize designs, and validate product behavior before manufacturing-minimizing reliance on costly physical prototypes and getting innovative products to market faster.

AutoCAD® Mechanical design and drafting software is AutoCAD® software for manufacturing. Part of the Autodesk® solution for Digital Prototyping, it includes all the functionality of AutoCAD, one of the world’s leading 2D CAD design software applications, plus comprehensive libraries of standards-based parts and tools for automating common mechanical CAD tasks and accelerating the mechanical design process. AutoCAD Mechanical design software helps save hours of design time, so you can spend time innovating rather than drafting.
