Model the complexity

HEEDS 2410 includes execution robustness improvements especially for error-handling, making it resilient to interruptions and errors. From automatic re-launching of analyses in unstable conditions to retry options that prevent unnecessary re-runs, these features enhance the overall robustness and reliability of analysis execution within HEEDS.

Explore the possibilities

With HEEDS 2410, a new AI workflow provides you an integrated approach to AI from data to consumption. You can now re-use existing data, including data coming from other tools or physical experiments, prepare it for pre-training of HEEDS AI Simulation Predictor models and save training time for HEEDS AI Simulation Predictor optimizations.

To enable this new AI workflow, HEEDS AI Simulation Predictor has been enhanced with the ability to supplement simulation with predictions for entire workflows, partial workflows, or individual analyses. Users can also re-use pre-trained AI models for predictive capabilities across different HEEDS studies. This capability allows engineers to leverage existing knowledge and apply it to new problems, saving valuable resources and time.

With seamless integration to Simcenter Reduced Order Modeling, HEEDS 2410 enables engineers to maximize data re-use and accelerate analysis by leveraging pre-trained AI models. This feature utilizes large amounts of existing data and pre-existing AI models from either HEEDS AI Simulation Predictor or Simcenter Reduced Order Modeling, providing a wealth of insights from prior work. By combining these pre-trained models with Share Designs, SHERPA can immediately initiate new discoveries, which improves simulation efficiency and effectiveness. Additionally, HEEDS AI Simulation Predictor can now instantly generate predictions for new design variants, delivering faster, actionable insights. These advancements enable engineers to make informed design decisions more quickly, especially valuable in complex, resource-intensive engineering projects.

Go faster

With HEEDS 2410, speed is prioritized through advanced AI and efficient data management. Enhancements to HEEDS AI Simulation Predictor now allows for pre-trained models to be applied instantly. Whether it’s Bayesian Neural Networks, Gradient Boosting, or Random Forest algorithms, the tool can maximize data re-use by drawing on previously generated insights.

Additionally, the Simcenter Reduced Order Modeling integration provides seamless data exchange, enabling designs to reach their optimal performance levels faster. Engineers can leverage AI and machine learning to drive simulations without building new models from scratch, transforming time-intensive workflows into swift processes that accelerate design space exploration.

Stay integrated

Dynamic 3D visualization in HEEDS 2410 brings designs to life, allowing engineers to interact with 3D model visualizations and compare scenarios in real-time. The integration with VCollab allows users to interact dynamically with geometric and simulation design results for efficient insight and discovery within HEEDS POST, making it easier to review product performance across multiple physics attributes on a single model. Additionally, users can now visualize Simcenter STAR-CCM+ scene files directly within HEEDS POST, gaining valuable insights without the need to inspect them in Simcenter STAR-CCM+.

These visualization enhancements, paired with seamless data exchange capabilities, ensure that engineers have a comprehensive, interactive design review experience. By staying integrated across platforms and tools, HEEDS 2410 provides a unified environment that helps teams make more informed decisions.
