Report on Siemens’ Simcenter Amesim training program at Chungbuk National University
This report outlines the utilization and operational outcomes of the Siemens Simcenter AMESIM software as part of a training program conducted from February 2024 to February 2025. The program spanning three sessions, aimed to equip students and local industry professionals with advanced skills in digital design and simulation for future vehicle technologies. With a focus on practical application, the training leveraged AMESIM to bridge theoretical knowledge and real-world industry demands.
Program structure and implementation:
The training was delivered across three phases — foundational, intermediate and advanced — each session accommodating over 20 participants, totaling approximately 70 individuals. The curriculum encompassed:
1. Understanding one-dimensional multiphysics principles: Lectures on foundational theories of future vehicle design and interactions among mechanical, electrical and fluid dynamics.
2. Foundational modeling of future vehicle components: Introduction to modeling key components (e.g., motors, batteries, drivetrains) using AMESIM.
3. System implementation and simulation: Hands-on practice in integrated system design for electric, hybrid and autonomous vehicles, followed by simulation exercises.
4. Design projects: Team-based or individual assignments to solve real-world problems through modeling and simulation.
5. Digital transformation (DX) insights: Case studies on DX applications in the automotive industry, including digital twins. AMESIM was utilized as the primary tool for simulations and modeling, enabling participants to explore complex multiphysics interactions and optimize designs effectively.
Operational outcomes
- Participation and certification: Over 60 participants successfully completed the program and earned blockchain-based digital badge certificates issued by Siemens, validating their proficiency in AMESIM and future vehicle design.
- Skill development: Participants gained hands-on experience in digital design and simulation, mastering AMESIM functionalities such as system integration, performance analysis and design optimization.
- Industry relevance: The training aligned with current industry trends, particularly the shift toward digital transformation, preparing participants for roles in the global automotive sector.
- Feedback and reception: The program received strong interest and positive responses from students integrating AMESIM into their academic coursework, with many requesting further training and resources.
Challenges and observations
- Learning curve: Beginners initially faced challenges adapting to AMESIM’s interface and advanced features, though structured guidance mitigated this over time.
- Scalability: The success of the program highlighted opportunities to expand its reach to more participants and industries.
Conclusion and recommendations
The Siemens Simcenter AMESIM training program effectively enhanced participants’ capabilities in digital design and simulation, fostering practical skills critical to the future automotive industry. Its integration into academic and professional settings proved valuable, as evidenced by the certification of over 60 individuals and the enthusiasm for continued education. Moving forward, it is recommended to:
- Expand the program with additional sessions to meet growing demand.
- Provide enhanced computational resources to support advanced simulations.
- Develop supplementary materials and follow-up courses to deepen AMESIM expertise.
This initiative has laid a strong foundation for cultivating talent capable of leading innovation in the global automotive landscape.
