Simcenter software combines system simulation, 3D CAE and test to help you predict performance across all critical attributes earlier and throughout the entire product lifecycle. By combining physics-based simulations with insights gained from data analytics, Simcenter helps you optimize design and deliver innovations faster and with greater confidence.
Simcenter
Simcenter lets you predict performance of your 3D geometry based designs. In our Simcenter 3D CAE products, you can import geometry from any CAD source and prepare analysis models in a unified environment for a wide range of CAE methods including finite element, boundary element, computational fluid dynamics, and multi-body dynamics.
Simcenter STAR-CCM+
To accurately predict real-world performance of your product you need simulation tools that capture all of the physics that will influence its performance during its operational life, including those that cross the boundaries of traditional engineering disciplines. To improve your product you need to be able to predict how performance changes in response to multiple parametric design changes.
Fluid dynamics simulation
Since the real-world performance of your product depends on how it interacts with fluids, either gases, liquids or a combination of both, you need to predict how those fluids behave, and to be able to turn their influence to your product’s advantage.
Simcenter provides industry leading computational fluid dynamics software that allows you to simulate almost any engineering problem that involves the fluids, structures and all of the associated physics.
Battery Simulation
Digitally validate Li-ion cell design including geometrical cell specifications and cell performance. Extensive components of a battery cell are available, as well as a material database to support the user in its model development.
Design Exploration
Rather than just simulating a single operating point, explore how your product performs over the full range of operating conditions that it will face during its working life, and employ intelligent design exploration to discover better designs faster.
Electric Machines
Comprehensive analytical models include all aspects of the design of electric machines, including thermal, electromagnetic and drive control. Of particular importance is the efficient utilization, and even elimination, of magnets. Our simulation tools are structured to give seamless design capability over the entire range of permanent-magnet machines and the alternatives including hybrid combinations and covers the entire range of power, voltage, and speed used in vehicle systems.
Simcenter Testing
In the digital era, it remains crucial to test, validate and optimize real-world designs within the constraints of shorter testing cycles, conflicting performance requirements, growing product complexity and reduced costs.
