Simcenter 3D: The Latest
Welcome to Simcenter 3D: the latest. Here, you will find the latest updates on mechanical simulation at Simcenter. This blog will be regularly updated with content on Simcenter 3D and related solutions that are in the same mechanical workflows, i.e., Simcenter E-Machine Design, Simcenter Nastran, and others.
November 2024
In the first edition of this blog, we are able to look back a little further than the single month that future editions will be limited to and consider some of the bigger stories that have happened recently. None are bigger than the recent acquisition announcements, which, if completed, will include the largest single investment in the history of Siemens.
Acquisitions
This year has been busy. The acquisition of Zona Technology was finally completed, and the intended acquisition of Altair was announced. As a result, we can now complete aeroelasticity simulations at both subsonic and supersonic speeds. While, in the future, we hope that the almost perfect alignment of the Siemens and Altair products enables us to make more complete workflows possible in a single integrated environment.
Simcenter 3D Updates
Our existing packages have also seen key upgrades, such as the additive manufacturing voxel meshes, which make meshing not only simple but much more robust. We empower those developing electric vehicle solutions with the developments that better model bevel gear contacts, essential for making EV transmissions quieter. Then we released the brand new solution Simcenter E-Machine Design that merged the best of Simcenter SPEED and Simcenter Motorsolve to make one unified product that provides the best of both tools.
This new tool will empower those developing motor solutions, such as axial flux machines for future electric vehicles, and provides Simcenter with unique modeling capabilities. This release captured the imagination of the press and has resulted in a number of magazine articles, such as e-Powertrain Technology and Magnetics Professional.
Simcenter 3D Blogs
Latest blog
Some of our latest simulations have been out of this world. In our latest blog, our engineers used NASA data to simulate the thermal environment of potential moon landing zones and asked, ‘Where would you park your spacecraft?’
Existing blogs
Blogs are the easiest way for us to get a message out and therefore you will find a wide range of content on Simcenter 3D and the other packages we work on, such as Simcenter Tire, Simcenter FEMAP, Simcenter E-Machine Design, and Simcenter Madymo, you can find all of our blogs here:
Blogs by product
If you want to stay focused on just one product then you can find content produced by various teams across Siemens that discuss individual products with the following links
Blogs by domain
Or you can focus on the domain you are most interested in.
