Siemens Digital Industries Software Blogs

The largest part manufacturing technology show in North America, IMTS 2026 has come to a close, and after a week of conversations with manufacturers, machine builders, programmers, engineers and technology leaders, one thing is clear: the industry is ready to move beyond talking about the potential of AI and digitalization. They are ready to embed and adopt AI into their design-to-manufacturing workflow. As one of the world’s largest manufacturing technology events, IMTS brings the industry together to experience the latest advances in machining, automation, software and digital manufacturing, and to explore how those technologies can solve real production challenges and shape what’s next for manufacturing. See how Siemens design-to-manufacturing digital thread powered by Industrial AI demonstrated just that.

As many green energy systems are variable it is difficult to manually optimize them without open energy platforms.

Simcenter Testlab 2606 helps engineering teams move faster from measurement to trusted outcomes through a set of next-generation workflows that improve efficiency, confidence, and automation across the testing process. The release enables AI-ready data creation with better context, validation, processing, and workflow automation, expands virtual validation capabilities to support earlier decision-making, introduces free acquisition software for Simcenter SCADAS hardware, and industrializes ISO-compliant blocked force characterization for scalable system-level NVH prediction. Together, these innovations help organizations reduce manual effort, accelerate validation, and make better engineering decisions earlier in development.

Simcenter Testlab 2606 introduces Automated Component Model Extraction (AutoCMX), an integrated hardware and software solution that automatically extracts ISO 20270-compliant component models for virtual NVH development. By automating blocked-force characterization and model generation, AutoCMX transforms component characterization from a slow, expert-driven process into a fast, repeatable workflow that produces virtual-prototype-ready models in minutes rather than days.

Qualification testing often happens when risk, cost, and schedule pressure are at their highest. Virtual Shaker Testing in Simcenter Testlab 2606 helps engineers learn before qualification rather than during qualification by creating a real-time virtual representation of the complete test setup. Engineers can predict system behavior, evaluate control settings, validate limiting and notching strategies, and compare virtual and physical models before exposing valuable hardware to full test levels. The result is earlier insight, lower qualification risk, and greater confidence when critical physical testing begins
