Siemens has introduced the latest release of its Simcenter engineering simulation software, featuring AI-powered capabilities, GPU acceleration, and multiphysics workflows. This release is the first to unify Siemens' and Altair's simulation technologies into a single portfolio, enabling more connected workflows across engineering disciplines.
Key takeaways
- Simcenter PhysicsAI, a geometric deep learning technology, converts simulation data into predictive AI models, enabling design concept evaluation up to 1,000 times faster than traditional solver-based simulations.
- PhysicsAI is now integrated into Simcenter Inspire and Simcenter Hypermesh, while multi-GPU support in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ accelerates AI model training from CFD simulations.
- New Simcenter PhysicsAI Generate offers generative AI to create design concepts from target dimensions, performance requirements, and historical data.
- Integration of Simcenter Simsolid with Designcenter allows structural simulations directly on CAD geometry without meshing, cutting analysis times from hours to minutes.
- Enhanced multiphysics links between electromagnetic, thermal, and system tools improve simulation of electric powertrains, motor cooling, and battery thermal management.
These updates aim to move simulation earlier in the design process, reduce development risk, and improve engineering productivity, supporting manufacturers in bringing higher-performing products to market faster.
