Design & Simulation Software Guide 2025

In this Special Issue, Digital Engineering presents its second annual guide to design and simulation software vendors.

Design & Simulation Software Guide 2025

September 25, 2025

The second annual Digital Engineering Design & Simulation Software Guide is our first attempt to map the engineering software landscape, providing a list of key vendors in the market, organized by category.

While there has been a significant amount of software vendor consolidation over the past several years, new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), cloudbased CAD and simulation, and generative design have spurred the launch of a number of new players as well. The engineering software market continues to be a rapidly growing and dynamic space, and we hope that our readers can leverage these listings to help them find the right tools for their workflows.

In addition, we have augmented the listings with some of our latest reporting on innovations in the design and simulation software industry. We hope you find the new guide informative and useful.

Software categories include:

  • CAD / Design, CAM
  • CAM
  • Design for Additive Manufacturing
  • Digital Manufacturing Platforms
  • ECAD
  • Engineering Mathematics
  • Generative Design
  • PLM / Product Data Management
  • Requirements Planning
  • Simulation / CAE
  • Visualization / Rendering
