DMU
Validate products early, quickly, and cost-effectively with Digital Mock-ups (DMU)
Advance the digitalization of product development – with consistently available DMU functionalities
To avoid defective products, functional deficiencies, and safety risks, companies must increasingly replace physical prototypes with Digital Mock-ups (DMU). In practice, however, specialized DMU tools or CAD applications are often used in isolation – by a few experts and without integration into central data management. This prevents end-to-end digital processes and significantly limits the use of DMU functionalities. With CONTACT Elements DMU, you can make Digital Mock-ups accessible throughout the entire company – quickly, in an integrated way, and at every workstation.
Your benefits
- Make high-end DMU functionalities available at every workstation
- Reliably evaluate technical changes with automated geometry comparisons
- Utilize collision calculations for informed decisions on geometry variants
- Generate high-quality image data directly from CAD models
Make DMU functionalities available at every workstation
CONTACT Elements DMU is powered by invenio Virtual Technologies, the leading DMU specialist. Thanks to its integration into CONTACT Elements, high-end DMU functionalities for model data from all common CAD systems are immediately available at every workstation within the product development process. Whether for technical changes, variant management, documentation, or marketing – all DMU-relevant information is seamlessly accessible, automated, and available without cumbersome context switching. This enables end-to-end digital processes with maximum efficiency.

Reliably evaluate technical changes
After a technical change, CONTACT Elements DMU allows you to automatically perform a geometry comparison of the affected parts. The calculation result is documented as a difference model in the change note and dossier. Instead of labor-intensive manual image preparation in Office documents, the result is immediately available as a 3D geometry model for subsequent processes such as quality assurance or manufacturing.

Utilize collision calculations for informed decisions regarding geometry variants
For products with numerous variants, CONTACT Elements DMU supports you with automated collision and clearance calculations (Clash & Clearance). This allows you to check whether changes to product variants are compatible and feasible in all relevant assemblies/configurations. Detected problem areas of individual geometry variants become immediately visible and can be directly resolved. This way, you make informed geometry decisions and gain predictability.

Generate high-quality image data directly from CAD models
Based on existing model data, you automatically generate high-quality image and render data for technical documentation or marketing purposes. These can be enriched with information from master data, CAD data management, or classification systems. The results flow seamlessly into illustrated BOMs within the PLM system, Office exports, or enterprise applications such as PIM systems.
