The Art of the Possible

Welcome to The Art of the Possible - blog series from the Simcenter Technology Innovation team.

Our vision: to make advanced simulation accessible to all who might benefit from it.

Our mission: to explore new technologies, to seek out new applications for simulation, and boldly demonstrate the art of the possible where no one has gone before.

To do so, we explore how emerging technologies, like Generative AI, Reduced Order Modeling, Deep Learning, the Industrial Metaverse, or Quantum Computing are reshaping the future of industrial simulation.

Visual Language Models: Turning design chaos into order

December 11, 2025

Visual Language Models (VLMs) are revolutionizing design by combining visual perception with language understanding, enabling engineers to classify, search, and explore complex models with natural prompts. Their remarkable generalization abilities make them invaluable for component identification. With VLMs, design chaos transforms into streamlined efficiency.

The process of innovation: Then and now – Synthetic force fields as a worked example: Part 2

September 1, 2025

As a mechanical engineer I kind of get SDFs (signed distance fields), a field beyond or within an object’s boundaries whose strength and sign is proportional to the distance away from that object’s boundary. My innovation conception was maybe if that SDF was considered as a force field then it might be used to attract or repel neighbouring 2D objects so as to identify an optimal tessellation of N given 2D shapes

The process of innovation: Then and now – synthetic force fields as a worked example: Part 1

September 1, 2025

What do you think about as you fall off to sleep? An embarrassing social situation event that you wish you could redress, or do you save that for when you wake up at 3am when the real despondency sets in? Don’t worry, everyone experiences that to absolutely no avail. To bypass those embarrassing recollections I’ve of late taken to thinking about shapes instead. Different types of shapes, topologies of different assemblies of shapes and the forces that might govern their tessellation. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but when needs must and you’re trying to nod off…
