Siemens Simcenter Updates Focus on Aerospace and Automotive Simulation

Siemens Digital Industries Software reports the latest update to its Simcenter portfolio, delivering advancements in aerostructure analysis, electric motor design, gear optimization, and smart virtual sensing. These enhancements are designed to streamline workflows, accelerate certification, and provide deeper insights into system performance.
 
“These updates empower engineers to meet the evolving challenges of electrification and advanced air mobility,” says Jean-Claude Ercolanelli, senior vice president, Simulation and Test Solutions, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “We’re delivering tools that drive innovation, improve efficiency and support a more sustainable and connected future. Our Simcenter portfolio is transforming engineering simulation.”

Key updates and benefits:

• Integrated Aerostructure Analysis: Simcenter automates the creation of free-body diagrams and margin of safety calculations. Engineers can now evaluate load paths across aircraft models and perform full-envelope MoS analysis without needing in-house tools.
• Axial flux motor simulation: Simcenter enables faster design and simulation of compact, high-power-density motors. Engineers can quickly create lightweight designs using Siemens’ Simcenter E-Machine Design software, then transitio nto 3D simulations in Siemens’ Simcenter 3D software.
• Gear Design Optimization: Simcenter introduces lightweight gear blank parameterization and an optimization framework to improve gearbox noise, vibration and harshness performance. 

• Extended Smart Virtual Sensing: Simcenter expands capabilities to include rigid body motion sensors and damage assessment tools.

• Simulation efficiency and collaboration: Speeds up additive manufacturing simulations with voxel mesh improvements and enhances collaboration with centralized model data and streamlined load and boundary condition transfers.
