Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced the latest update to its Simcenter portfolio, delivering advancements in aerostructure analysis, electric motor design, gear optimisation 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,” said Jean-Claude Ercolanelli, senior vice president of Simulation and Test Solutions, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Our Simcenter portfolio is transforming engineering simulation.”
Key benefits include:
Integrated Aerostructure Analysis: Automates the creation of free-body diagrams and margin of safety calculations, accelerating certification schedules by 20%. Engineers can now evaluate load paths across aircraft models and perform full-envelope MoS analysis without the need for costly in-house tools.
Axial flux motor simulation: 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 transition seamlessly to 3D simulations in Siemens’ Simcenter 3D software for comprehensive electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical performance assessments.
Gear design optimisation: Introduces lightweight gear blank parameterisation and an optimisation framework to improve gearbox noise, vibration and harshness performance. These tools help reduce late-stage design changes.
