What’s New in the Simcenter 3D 2512 release

From December 12th current users of Simcenter 3D will be able to download the Simcenter 3D 2512 update, so what will they find?

Note: In the lead up to the release this will be a living blog i.e. I will update the blog as more content becomes available.

Simcenter 3D Acoustics – E-motor vibration synthesis

Engineers often face the challenge of performing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) analysis quickly and accurately, especially when dealing with complex E-motor multi-attribute balancing.

Experience significant improvements in NVH analysis with the E-motor vibration synthesis (EMVS) acoustics verticals workflow, which offers an easy-to-use step by step process for creating e-motor reduced order models and delivering NVH results up to 100 times faster with full FEM accuracy and realistic loads. This enhancement allows for quick iterations on different e-motor operating conditions and provides specific e-motor related insight into the NVH response. This first release supports steady-state ideal current operation and non-skewed IPMSM machines, with future enhancements, for instance, for transient loads and skewed machines on the roadmap.

Simcenter 3D Engineering Desktop – Persistent geometry tagging

Managing geometry tagging and ensuring robust model updates without custom scripts can be a daunting task.

 Leverage persistent geometry tagging with grouped, automated, and replayable geometry tagging. This feature eliminates the need for custom scripts and ensures robust model updates when conducting Design Space Explorationor Multidisciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization.

Simcenter 3D Aerostructure – Parallelization

Solving complex aerostructure problems quickly, while maintaining accuracy, is a common challenge for engineers.

 Enjoy faster solving with parallelization, which allows you to compute more in less time while maintaining the accuracy of your results. This improvement refines the flight envelope discretization without impacting lead solve time.

Simcenter 3D Durability – Enhance fatigue methods for solder

Achieving accurate and efficient solder fatigue and reliability results can be a time-consuming and complex process.

Benefit from enhanced fatigue methods for solder, including the Darveaux and Engelmaier methods, which provide better and faster solder fatigue results. This improvement is combined with new reliability results that provide the probability of failure for a given lifetime length.  This update ensures improved accuracy and efficiency in your durability analyses.

Simcenter 3D Structural Dynamics – Smart virtual sensing for unconstrained structures and unconstrained bodies

Predicting loads and estimating fields for unconstrained structures, as well as determining the location and orientation of unconstrained bodies, either requires extensive testing or is completely unmeasurable.

Extend the capabilities of Smart Virtual Sensing from fixed structures to unconstrained structures. This update enables load prediction and field estimation for a broader range of applications, such as satellite shaker tests, battery vibration tests, and load prediction for heavy equipment. The new Unconstrained Rigid Body Solution enables you to measure rigid body position and orientation using accelerometer and gyroscope measurements. This enables a smarter solution for the motor packaging validation and derives wheel position for vehicle dynamics studies.

Simcenter 3D Motion – Native Design Space Exploration

Performing design of experiments (DOE) and optimization within the Simcenter 3D Motion application can be time-consuming and require additional tools.

Perform DOE and optimization natively within Simcenter 3D Motion. This integration allows you to evaluate and optimize your motion models more efficiently.
