Areas of Expertise

SIMCenter applies each of its focus areas to a variety of industry research projects. Explore some of our featured projects.

Computational Solid and Structural Mechanics

Our research team employs state-of-the-art software for the modeling of complex geometries and joining techniques under linear and non-linear deformation. These techniques are critical for developing strong, safe and lightweight structures in a variety of industries.

Computational Fluid Dynamics

Researchers can accurately predict the performance of steady-state and time-dependent external and internal flows, and acoustics, allowing optimization of varied applications such as the drag forces on vehicles and large-scale air flow in manufacturing systems, like paint rooms.

Systems Modeling, Integration, and Control

The world is full of complex products comprised of hundreds or thousands of components organized into systems and subsystems. Researchers working in this area focus on using system-level plant and control models to simulate interconnected systems, accelerating the development process without sacrificing quality.

Optimization and CAE Automation

SIMCenter employs optimization techniques to automate and enhance the use of CAE tools. These numerical techniques are employed across the areas listed above, and they allow engineers to deliver the best possible designs resulting in improved performance in areas like weight, efficiency and manufacturability.

Non-Physics, Data-Driven Models

These data-driven models, which analyze the data about a specific system rather than the physical behavior, can be applied to various topics such as materials testing and autonomous vehicle technologies.
