Model the complexity
Simcenter HEEDS 2504 introduces a new approach to surrogate modeling with a consolidated Surrogates tab. This centralized environment simplifies how engineers create, evaluate, and apply surrogate models throughout their design exploration process:
- Unified Workspace: Access all surrogate modeling capabilities through a single, intuitive interface that streamlines the entire process from data preparation to model application
- Automated Best Surrogate Selection: Eliminate guesswork with intelligent surrogate model recommendations based on comprehensive statistical analysis of your dataset
- Advanced Outlier Detection: Identify problematic data points through sophisticated algorithms and clear visual indicators, ensuring surrogate models accurately represent underlying physics
- Comprehensive Comparison Tools: Evaluate multiple modeling approaches simultaneously with side-by-side performance metrics and visual diagnostics
These enhancements make advanced surrogate modeling accessible to engineers of all experience levels while providing the depth and flexibility demanded by simulation experts. The result is faster development of accurate meta-models that can dramatically accelerate design space exploration while maintaining high confidence in results.
Explore the possibilities
Simcenter HEEDS 2504 boosts insight and discovery with enhanced data-mining and visualization tools to transform data into insight. The updated Boruta influence plot offers a clearer and more intuitive view of variable sensitivity, for faster and more efficient analysis. New visual effects, including blurred lines, polygon fills, and added statistical overlays in parallel plots, let you interpret trends at a glance and dig deeper into the story your data is telling.
These upgrades empower faster, more focused decision-making to explore what’s possible.
Go faster
Simcenter HEEDS 2504 accelerates design space exploration with smarter workflow automation and a more efficient user experience. Tagging has been made easier with smarter file grouping based on parent analyses. Now a tree structure during tagging makes greater transparency and visualization streamlines the tagging process allowing for more rapid tagging, especially for larger workflows.
Script tagging now supports Python print statements for easier debugging and transparent troubleshooting. A new customizable auto-save feature helps prevent data loss while building workflows, and full support for high-DPI monitors ensures a clean and consistent interface across all screen resolutions.
Simcenter HEEDS AI Simulation Predictor has been upgraded for more efficient parallel resource utilization allowing for maximization of simulation resources. Additionally, enhanced messaging provides real-time feedback during training and prediction, giving users more transparency on progress, as well as better troubleshooting information.
Stay integrated
Simcenter HEEDS 2504 boosts integration across your simulation workflow with enhancements to existing portals along with the addition of new portals. Existing portals such as Simcenter Amesim, NX, Simcenter FLOEFD, and GTI have been updated for improved performance and flexibility.
- Simcenter Amesim has been re-organized and enhanced to encompass more options.
- NX has been enhanced to allow for custom journal introduction into various parts of the execution process, aligning with the Simcenter 3D portal.
- A new Simcenter FLOEFD portal has been created with direct API integration, unlocking greater parallelization capabilities and the potential for usage with Simcenter HEEDS AI Simulation Predictor. The previous FLOEFD Parametric portal (non-API based) is still available as well for flexibility, depending on user-need.
- The GTI portal has been extended to support *.glx file results and the latest versions of GTI.
New portals for Ansys Discovery and Aspen HYSYS Simulation Workbook further expand Simcenter HEEDS’ connectivity, ensuring smooth, streamlined workflows.
Simcenter HEEDS 2504 delivers new capabilities and powerful enhancements that simplify complexity, sharpen insight, explore what’s possible and accelerate design space exploration. From advanced surrogate modeling to smarter automation and expanded integration, this release helps you drive innovation. Simcenter HEEDS 2504 empowers you to push boundaries and discover better designs, faster.
