Fast and accurate solvers power structural, acoustic, flow, thermal, motion, and composite analyses, as well as optimization and multi-physics simulation. Simcenter 3D is available as a standalone simulation environment and is a Siemens Digital Industries Software. It is also available fully integrated with NX, delivering a seamless CAD/CAE experience.

Simcenter 3D is a simulation software with multiple functions

Acoustics Simulation

The 3D Simcenter offers interior and exterior acoustic analysis within an integrated solution that helps you make informed decisions during the early design stages so you can optimize your product’s acoustic performance. A unified and scalable modeling environment combined with efficient solvers and easy-to-interpret visualization capabilities enable you to quickly gain insight into the acoustic performance of your product.

3D Composites

In the quest to make products lighter yet stronger, manufacturers are increasing their use of composite materials. 3D Simcenter is at the leading edge of composites analysis through continuous development of material models and element types. Simcenter 3D speeds up the entire process for simulating laminate composite materials through a seamless connection to composites design, accurate solvers and comprehensive post-processing.

Fluid dynamics simulation

Simcenter 3D provides industry leading computational fluid dynamics software which allows you to simulate almost any engineering problem that involves the flow of liquids, gases (or a combination of both), together with all of the associated physics.

Motion Simulation

Predicting, analyzing, improving the positions, velocities, accelerations and loads of any mechanisms and mechatronic systems using an accurate and robust 3D multi-body simulation approach.

Multiphysics Simulation

Complex industrial problems require solutions that span over a multitude of physical phenomena, which often can only be solved using simulation techniques that cross several engineering disciplines.

Structural Simulation

Understanding how a component or product assembly reacts under stress or vibration is critical in any industry, but as products and materials become increasingly complex, engineers need tools that go beyond linear statics analyses. Simcenter 3D includes the structural solutions you need for a wide range of structural analysis problems within a single user environment.

Thermal Simulation

Simcenter 3D includes comprehensive, best-in-class thermal simulation capabilities that can help you to understand the thermal characteristics of your product and subsequently tailor your thermal management solution for optimal performance.

Electromagnetics Simulation

The electrodynamic, electrostatic and magnetic potential solvers in Simcenter 3D accurately predict the interactions between electric, magnetic and flow fields, and facilitate successful designs of electric devices and their cooling.

Meshing

You can efficiently mesh your models using extensive modeling functions for automatic and manual mesh generation of 1D, 2D and 3D elements in addition to numerous techniques for the application of loads and boundary conditions.User-defined geometry edits, mesh and boundary conditions are all associated to the base design, which means when the base design geometry changes, you can rapidly update your model in Simcenter 3D. This approach greatly reduces downstream modeling time, which results in huge time savings across a project’s many design-analysis iterations.
