DEP–AVL Partner to Expand MeshWorks CAE in the U.S. & Europe

TROY, Mich. - Feb. 6, 2026 - PRLog -- Detroit Engineered Products (DEP), developer of the industry-leading CAE platform MeshWorks, and AVL, a global leader in mobility technologies, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver an integrated toolchain featuring AVL EXCITE™ and MeshWorks. AVL will also serve as an authorized distributor of MeshWorks across the United States and Europe.

The combined solution enables CAE engineers to rapidly create finite element models from CAD, parameterize them, and perform shape and topology optimization for dynamic and acoustic simulations within AVL EXCITE™. This streamlined workflow eliminates the need for CAD in iterative loops, accelerating design cycles, improving accuracy, and reducing development costs.

The toolchain supports a wide range of applications across light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles, as well as marine and aerospace sectors. By integrating DEP's parametric CAE and optimization expertise with AVL's simulation technologies, engineers can efficiently optimize performance, weight, and cost throughout the product development process.

"We are excited to partner with AVL. Their global reach and technical excellence make them an ideal collaborator to deliver MeshWorks' advanced parametric optimization capabilities," said Radha Krishnan, President & Founder, DEP. "This partnership will bring significant value to CAE professionals across the US and Europe."

Mick Winship, Executive Director for Advanced Simulation Technologies at AVL, added, "This collaboration enables seamless integration of MeshWorks within AVL workflows, providing engineers with powerful tools to optimize performance, weight, and development cost."
