Accelerate design exploration at scale

Evaluate hundreds of design alternatives automatically using DOE and sweep studies. Identify high-impact parameters early and compress engineering cycles without writing a single line of code.

Optimize across all physics simultaneously

Run multidisciplinary optimization spanning structural, thermal, CFD and electromagnetic domains in one unified study. Achieve balanced, real-world performance across all engineering constraints.

Build robust, reliable products by design

Quantify the impact of variability and operating uncertainty using stochastic and reliability analyses. Deliver designs that perform consistently, from prototype to production.

Featured capabilities

Multi-disciplinary optimization

Simcenter Hyperstudy offers industry-proven DOE methods like Full Factorial, Latin Hypercube, Hammersley sampling and more to explore design spaces and identify influential variables across structural, electromagnetics, CFD, thermal and multi-body dynamics disciplines. Exchangeable fit models between experts facilitate multidisciplinary exploration, reducing simulation runs needed to reach an optimal design.

Multi-objective optimization with advanced algorithms

Simcenter Hyperstudy delivers a full suite of optimization algorithms for single- and multi-objective problems with continuous, discrete or mixed variables. Define competing objectives across disciplines and automatically converge on Pareto-optimal solutions that balance performance, mass and cost within a single, unified optimization workflow.

Stochastic analysis and reliability-based design

Account for real-world variability in manufacturing tolerances and operating loads using probabilistic stochastic studies. Simcenter Hyperstudy propagates input uncertainty through simulation models to yield statistical output distributions. Identify failure risks, target Six Sigma performance levels and deliver designs that are robust across all operating conditions.
