Close ## Advancing innovation from simulation to reality When you can uncover risks, validate designs and refine performance in simulation before physical testing, you can reduce uncertainty, improve efficiency and help organizations move from concept to deployment faster. What holds in simulation should hold in the field. Confidence in the simulation is critical to trust and success in the market. UL Solutions helps you build that confidence. Through digital twin certification, model verification and validation, and simulation-based safety science, we help you transform predictive insight into real-world performance while reducing risk, cost and rework. ## UL Solutions' M&S expertise Our M&S experts collaborate with customers and may help them accelerate design, development and reduce physical testing. This approach can help manufacturers stay competitive in their markets and deliver innovation with confidence. ![Modeling and Simulation for Compliance Helps Accelerate Product Development & Life Cycle Management](https://img.youtube.com/vi/pXYTO44l1Xg/maxresdefault.jpg) *play\_circle* Watch Video Modeling and Simulation for Compliance Helps Accelerate Product Development & Life Cycle Management Duration ![Passing time](/modules/custom/ul_component/components/brand_icon/assets/brand-icons-positive/passing_time.svg)### Get to market quickly Work with our experts to understand the benefits of M&S as a standalone and pre-certification activity, and how it may help shorten development cycles, reduce the need for internal validation tests, improve efficiency and streamline future evaluation plans for product certification. ![Currency dollar](/modules/custom/ul_component/components/brand_icon/assets/brand-icons-positive/currency_dollar.svg)### Reduce overall costs M&S may contribute to cost savings by supporting accelerated time to market, minimizing expensive physical prototyping and helping to prevent costly late-stage redesigns. ![Ux design](/modules/custom/ul_component/components/brand_icon/assets/brand-icons-positive/ux_design.svg)### Have increased design confidence This science-based approach to verification and validation of digital models helps increase design confidence through accelerated testing, rapid iterations and deep technical insights early in the development process. ![Technical report](/modules/custom/ul_component/components/brand_icon/assets/brand-icons-positive/technical_report.svg)### Create a pathway to regulatory acceptance The process for deploying M&S as part of certification requires a specific context of use, the appropriate digital model for a specific physical test and a robust assessment protocol — leading to a comprehensive report. ![Maximize production](/modules/custom/ul_component/components/brand_icon/assets/brand-icons-positive/maximize_production.svg)### Develop a scalable simulation framework Scaling through parallelization allows verified models to be reused for different design variations and helps optimize the supply chain for critical components. This approach drives consistency across the entire product platform. ## Meet our experts “The possibilities for modeling and simulation to support compliance and product development are extremely valuable, and it’s just the beginning.
