Engineer innovation with confidence
Today’s products combine mechanical, electrical, thermal, software and control systems to an unprecedented degree. Simcenter — part of the Siemens Xcelerator platform — turns that complexity into a competitive edge by integrating predictive simulation, advanced testing and a comprehensive digital twin. It helps teams design more intelligently, validate faster, reduce physical testing and bring higher-performing products to market sooner, with a scalable, open portfolio spanning 1D system simulation, 3D CAE, test data acquisition and analytics.
Why Simcenter
- Model real-world complexity — simulate physics across systems, structures, fluids, thermal, motion, acoustics and electromagnetics, from 1D to 3D.
- Explore more designs, faster — intelligent design exploration, optimisation and reduced-order modelling balance performance, cost, weight, reliability and sustainability.
- Accelerate time-to-market — fast solvers, automation, AI/ML and cloud HPC cut turnaround from days to hours; customers report 30–80% shorter development cycles.
- Maintain a seamless digital thread — deep integration with NX, Teamcenter, Capital and other Siemens tools keeps data flowing across design, simulation, test and manufacturing.
- Combine simulation + test — physical testing validates and calibrates models for reliable digital twins.
- Scalable across the enterprise — the right tools, roles and workflows for analysts, design and test engineers, systems architects and R&D.
The portfolio
- Systems simulation (1D) — Amesim and Flomaster for multiphysics system modelling with ready-to-use libraries and fast design-space exploration.
- 3D CAE — Simcenter 3D, Nastran and Femap for structural, thermal, acoustic, motion and multiphysics, plus crash (Madymo) and tire modelling.
- CFD & thermal — STAR-CCM+, FLOEFD, Flotherm and SPH Flow for aerodynamics, heat transfer, multiphase flow and electronics cooling.
- Electromagnetics — MAGNET, SPEED and Motorsolve for motors, actuators and electrical machines.
- Test & physical validation — Testlab, SCADAS, Sound Camera and Qsources for noise, vibration, durability and end-of-line testing.
- Intelligent design exploration — HEEDS automates workflows and optimises the design space.
- Model-based systems engineering — Simcenter Studio and System Architect for early system-architecture evaluation and co-simulation.
