Explore the most recent release highlights of Simcenter Fluids and Thermal solutions. New enhancements are aimed at helping you:
Model the complexity – Ensuring decision confidence
Simcenter Fluids and Thermal solutions allow you to model the complexity all the way from material behavior to the fluid mechanics and the thermal performance of products. We provide you with a range of solutions to help you model the right physics, at the right time, for the right application. This includes coverage for a broad range of physics including flow, thermal, acoustic, motion, structures, and much more.
To model the complexity the latest releases of Simcenter Fluids and Thermal solutions offer many more capabilities:
✅ Improve physical realism and insights for DEM simulations
✅ Leverage greater flexibility for liquid fuel spray break-up modeling
✅ Run robust and accurate highly dynamic Fluid-Structure Interaction simulations
✅ Evaluate churning losses for powertrain applications with enhanced accuracy
✅ Model dynamic fluid-vehicle interaction with the non-linear spring model
✅ Run accurate transient thermal analysis at microsecond timescales
✅ IC thermal design: model overlapping powered areas using the Die SmartPart
✅ Improve model fidelity by incorporating a PCB solder mask
✅ Faster specification of Pin or Via material properties on a padstack or group basis
✅ Take advantage of improvements to PCB thermal analysis fidelity options and EDA Bridge workflow
✅ Leverage easy-to-use calculation and simulation apps to reliably predict material properties
Explore the possibilities – Enabling insights
Through a systematic and intelligent exploration of the design space, start to gain tremendous value from the models -discover new designs, optimize for performance and improve robustness from within your CFD software environment -all in a fraction of the time it would take without these methods.
Benefit from the latest Simcenter Fluids and Thermal releases to:
✅ Obtain smoother fluid-solid interfaces with built-in AMR for topology optimization
✅ Gain detailed insights into reactivity with integrated orbital visualization for electronic structure characterization
Go faster – Achieving speed and agility
For your company to be competitive, you need to find a way to go faster despite products complexity and the need to extensively explore the design space for innovative solutions. Simcenter Fluids and Thermal solutions enable you to accelerate every step of your simulation workflow and hence turn complexity into a competitive advantage.
Explore more highlights of the latest releases of Simcenter Fluids and Thermal to go faster:
✅ Run faster high-fidelity simulations through GPGPU acceleration
✅ Go faster in the simulation setup for vehicle wading simulations thanks to an improved and intuitive initialization
✅ Reduce thermal model creation time by leveraging new visualization enhancements

✅ Speed up internal flows analysis within 3D CFD thanks to enhanced 1D Elements
✅ Automatically run simulations at the required level of detail with fully integrated automated parametrization and fragmentation (AFP)
Stay integrated – Connecting all activities
As product development has become increasingly complex, there are more opportunities for misalignment between teams. Balancing trade-offs between performances is therefore important but it can only be achieved by having everyone aligned. Staying integrated means having a digital thread that connects all relevant stakeholders, models, and data.
With the latest releases of Simcenter Fluids and Thermal products, we continue to extend the seamless connection to other engineering solution domains.
✅ Get direct access to practically unlimited compute resource from desktop
✅ Improve electronics thermo-mechanical workflow: Export 3D temperature field transient results from CFD to FEA analysis in Simcenter 3D
✅ Leverage Xcelerator Share to set up collaboration projects, synchronize files to cloud storage and more
These are just a few of the many new exciting features in the Simcenter Fluids and Thermal solution domain. Learn more about those and further new capabilities in the latest product release blog articles:
