▶️ About Simcenter:
Engineering departments today must develop smart products that integrate mechanical functions with electronics and controls. They should utilize new materials and manufacturing methods and deliver new designs within ever shorter design cycles. This requires current engineering practices for product performance verification to evolve into a Digital Twin approach, which enables us to follow a more predictive process for systems-driven product development.
Simcenter software uniquely combines system simulation, 3D CAE and tests, to help predict performance across all critical attributes, early and throughout the entire product lifecycle. By combining physics-based simulations with insights gained from data analytics, Simcenter helps you optimize design, and deliver innovations faster and with greater confidence.
