AI and ML with Simcenter

Explore Simcenter’s AI-powered engineering: accelerate design insights over 1,000x faster with AI, unify data and models on an integrated hub and automate simulation workflows with agentic AI tailored for design engineers.

Accelerate engineering and unleash innovation with AI

Simcenter’s engineering AI portfolio helps organizations move beyond traditional simulation workflows to real-time, physics-aware intelligence. Teams can accelerate physics-based predictions, unlock the value of engineering data, govern engineering AI models and apply AI agents across simulation workflows. The result is earlier insights, faster innovation, lower risk and improved productivity.

Built on an integrated AI stack that connects the engineering core to enterprise intelligence, Simcenter’s strategy is structured around three pillars: Engineering AI, Engineering Intelligence and AI Agents.

Why modern engineering demands integrated AI

Modern engineering has reached an unprecedented scale and complexity, making traditional design and simulation methods insufficient to meet the pace, precision and product demands of today's competitive landscape.

Complexity explosion

Product designs now span multiple disciplines and generate countless variants to simulate. Manual evaluation is too slow.

Computational bottlenecks

Running high-fidelity simulations across structural, NVH, impact, fluid and thermal domains consumes significant time and resources, multiplied across every design iteration.

Spiraling costs

High-performance computing resources and running repeated physical prototype iterations consume a disproportionate share of engineering budgets, resulting in costs that compound with every design cycle. 

Ungoverned data and silos

Vast amounts of simulation and test data remain locked in departmental silos, lacking the curation, traceability and semantic context required for enterprise-wide reuse and AI readiness.

Sluggish deployment

Translating AI models and predictive insights from research into production engineering workflows is slowed by tool friction, integration gaps and low adoption - leaving value on the table long after models are built.

Operational overhead

Routine data management, mesh setup and report generation consume the majority of engineering hours while poor cross-functional visibility creates friction between simulation, test and product teams when it matters most.

AI-powered engineering simulation

Engineering organizations that have integrated AI across their simulation workflows, from design exploration to deployment, are redefining what's achievable and already outpacing the competition. The results are measurable.
