Latest Development in Simcenter Software Platform
Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced a series of significant updates to its Simcenter portfolio, aimed at automating crucial engineering tasks and accelerating design validation across various industries, particularly aerospace and automotive.
The latest advancements include the automation of free-body diagrams and margin of safety (MoS) calculations, which is expected to accelerate certification schedules by 20%. Engineers can now evaluate load paths across aircraft models and perform comprehensive full-envelope MoS analyses without the need for costly in-house tools.
In addition, Simcenter has enhanced capabilities for designing compact, high-power-density motors. Engineers can create lightweight designs using Simcenter E-Machine Design software and seamlessly transition to 3D simulations in Simcenter 3D for thorough electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical performance assessments.
Other notable updates include the introduction of lightweight gear blank parameterization and an optimization framework to improve gearbox noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance. The update to the Simcenter portfolio is also expected to accelerate additive manufacturing simulations by 200% due to voxel mesh enhancements.
Simcenter software also introduces GPU acceleration with NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs and CUDA-X libraries, which significantly speeds up computational fluid dynamics simulations in Simcenter STAR-CCM+, achieving up to 30x faster transient aerodynamics simulations, reducing energy use and costs.
While more focused on CAD, the NX and NX X software updates related to Simcenter introduce an AI copilot for natural language interaction, immersive mixed reality collaboration, and CAD-integrated thermal and fluid simulation tools that enhance design evaluation workflows.
Overall, Siemens is leveraging AI, GPU acceleration, and advanced simulation parameterizations in its Simcenter portfolio to automate engineering tasks, accelerate design validation, and improve accuracy for electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical performance assessments. These updates are poised to revolutionize the way engineers approach design and simulation in the coming years.
Technology plays a crucial role in Siemens Digital Industries Software's Simcenter portfolio updates, as advancements such as automation of free-body diagrams and margin of safety calculations aim to accelerate certification schedules.
