Redefining the backbone: How body engineering becomes the structural intelligence layer for faster, more confident decisions

August 21, 2026

Body engineering is no longer just about designing the vehicle structure. It has become a structural intelligence layer that connects safety, NVH, weight, manufacturability and sustainability decisions from the earliest concept stages.

Simcenter Testlab 2606: Faster and smarter next-generation testing, earlier trusted outcomes

September 22, 2026

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.

Industrializing component characterization for virtual NVH development: Automated component model extraction (AutoCMX)

September 22, 2026

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.

Virtual shaker testing: Learn before qualification, not during qualification

Virtual shaker testing: Learn before, not during qualification

September 22, 2026

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
