SIMCENTRE-HEED-Design space exploration for superior performance-Multi Disciplinary Optimization
Using HEEDSTM software allows you to do this by changing the paradigm. You no longer start with a design and use simulation to only evaluate performance. You can now define desired performance and allow HEEDS and your simulation tools to help you identify good designs.
Modeling and simulation software provides an excellent way for designers and engineers to cost-effectively evaluate how their products will perform under expected operating conditions. Design space exploration software takes modeling and simulation to the next level by allowing users to determine appropriate values of variables that yield product designs that result in exceptional performance. Using HEEDS from Siemens PLM Software simplifies the design space exploration process so all simulation engineers can discover better designs, faster. It helps unlock the full power of your computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools so you can move beyond troubleshooting and verifying designs and use simulation to drive innovation and performance
Improving design performance : When companies strive to improve overall design performance, the challenge is often how to discover better designs, faster. Companies tend to spend most of their virtual prototyping efforts on building and testing  simulation models to validate designs, and comparatively little time on exploring to improve design performance. This scenario Improving design performance is true despite the fact that corporations acknowledge that enhanced simulation investment value may well be achieved if they have a more automated and efficient design space exploration approach. Imagine achieving better product designs faster with less testing or repetitive manual simulation work.
Streamlining virtual product development : CAE tools are valuable for verifying product performance before manufacture or to troubleshoot problems in the field. However, the most significant potential benefit of simulation is through upfront design space exploration. Using HEEDS helps companies align re-sources with the value of simulation Streamlining virtual product development Virtual prototyping process. by providing four technology enablers for streamlining virtual product development, including: process automation; distributed execution; efficient search; and insight and discovery assessments.
Process automation : In the virtual product development process, you can incorporate process automation technologies to help ensure the quality and consistency of your virtual prototype models.Using HEEDS software helps you automate and simplify virtual prototyping initiatives by allowing you to: • Create process flows combining internal or commercial 1D, 2D and 3D simulation andcost-estimating tools • Bi-directionally modify any native geometry • Robustly re-mesh or update the simulation physics model • Support co-simulation or sequential workflows • Automate model rebuilding to explore a broad design space It is common to use multiple modeling and simulation tools to test product performance, and often it is a time-consuming manual process to transfer data. By using HEEDS, you can easily define the design workflow and automatically share data between different modeling and simulation products. You can evaluate performance tradeoffs and design robustness, and focus on design selection versus design verification. 
HEEDS includes proprietary design space exploration functionality that is used to simultaneously leverage multiple global and local search strategies, and adapt the search as it learns more about the design space. It requires no algorithmic search expertise on the part of the user, but easily incorporates user intuition through its collaborative search capabilities. This process allows you toidentify higher-performing families of designs with minimal simulation time and cost.

SIEMENS - Simcenter MAGNET - Perform low frequency electromagnetic field simulations

MagNet offers both 2D and 3D electromagnetic field simulations, all within the same user friendly interface. MAGNET uses the finite element technique for an accurate and quick solution of Maxwell's equations. Each module is tailored to simulate different types of electromagnetic fields and is available separately for both 2D & 3D designs.
Electric Field Analysis
There are three electric field analysis capabilities: Static (produced by DC voltages and charge distributions), AC (produced by AC voltages), and transient (produced by voltages that vary arbitrarily in time). The electric field analysis can also simulate current flow - the static current densities produced by DC voltages on electrodes in contact with conducting material.
The electric field analysis is typically used for high-voltage applications to predict insulation and winding failures, lightning impulse simulations, partial discharge analysis, and transmission tower and lines impedance analysis.
Low-Frequency Electromagnetics
Simcenter low-frequency electromagnetic solutions allow you to explore designs to meet performance, and make timely-decisions in product development, reducing the number of physical prototypes. The flexibility in our solutions, which includes finite element static, time-harmonic, transient solvers with the motion for any number of components, permits the design and analysis of electromagnetic and electromechanical devices of any complexity.
Thermal Analysis
Coupled thermal finite element analysis simulates the temperature distribution as a result of heat rise or cooling in the electromechanical device. It seamlessly couples to electromagnetic and electric field simulations, and uses their power loss data as a heat source, and then determines the overall performance due to the impact of temperature changes. This analysis determines the nonlinear steady-state or time-varying temperature distributions caused by the specified heat sources.
Using this analysis, you can predict the temperature distribution caused by ohmic, eddy-current, core and dielectric power losses, and the corresponding temperature effects on material properties and electromagnetic and electric fields. Hence, you can accurately predict the demagnetization of permanent magnets, and hotspots to determine the loading capacity and service life of your device.

SIMCENTER MADYMO : Occupant Safety Simulation : Apply accurate and effective simulation techniques to design safer vehicles
Occupant and pedestrian safety are critical design aspects. These aspects determine whether a vehicle can be homologated. Therefore thorough prototype testing needs to be done before a vehicle can go to market. However, this testing is expensive and can cause significant delays, especially when problems are discovered. For this reason, vehicle manufacturers try to save prototyping time and cost by doing upfront research and analysis using simulation.
Yet occupant safety simulations can be computationally intensive, especially for long-duration events. With the advent of driverless vehicles, new seating positions and restraints systems are on the increase; compliance in terms of population gender, age, and size is becoming more critical. As a result, the number of relevant testing scenarios (or load cases) keeps on increasing. Therefore engineers need to carefully balance between accuracy, model size and calculation time. They need solutions where they can pick the right method for their problems. When using Simcenter Madymo, engineers can apply a variety of simulation techniques, and find a set of validated crash dummy models and human body models in a database. Simcenter Madymo uniquely combines the capabilities of multibody (MB), finite element (FE), and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in a single CAE solver. This will allow engineers to do all their calculations at a scale that fits the application.
Simcenter Madymo helps to reduce development time and increases confidence in simulation results. Computational Fluid Dynamics : Simulate Out-of-Position events for deploying airbags, where injuries can result from contact between the occupant and the airbag. By using the Simcenter Madymo’s computational fluid dynamics (CFD) module, engineers can carry out detailed modeling of the flow of fluids, such as gas flowing inside the deploying airbag.
Coupling FE Codes : Couple Simcenter Madymo with other FE codes for safety design or connect with Matlab to include control algorithms and study their effects on the restraint system. Today, Simcenter Madymo can be coupled to LS-DYNA, PAM-CRASH, RADIOSS, and ABAQUS. This enables engineers to continue using Simcenter Madymo crash test dummies, which to date remain the fastest and most accurate dummy models available, while in their preferred FE code. The combined result can then be visualized and post-processed in a single graphical tool.
Dummy Models : Leverage the outcome of decades of R&D, bundled in the most extensive crash test dummy model database available. Simcenter Madymo Dummy Models are famous for their accuracy, as well as their computational speed, robustness, and user-friendliness.

SIEMENS - SIMCENTER - MFTYRE : Tyre Simulation and Testing Software : Tire Simulation & Testing : Create effective and precise tire models in an end-to-end environment
The tire is a complex and highly non-linear vehicle component that has a significant effect on the behavior of a vehicle. As the number of vehicle models on the market continues increasing, so does the number of possible use cases that need to be tested and validated. This fact, in combination with everlasting strive for reduced development times, calls for ever more simulation instead of physical vehicle testing.
Modelling tire performance requires a lot of expertise and specialization. For this purpose, Simcenter offers engineers scalable and customized solutions. The ultimate goal of Simcenter Tire is to accurately represent tire forces and moments, so they can be propagated to various vehicle performance simulations.
More specifically, the Simcenter Tire toolchain consists of the Simcenter MF-Tyre/MF-Swift tire model, the Simcenter MF-Tool tire model parameterization tool and tire testing services. The Simcenter MF-Tyre/MF-Swift model is available with all major vehicle dynamic simulation packages.

The Simcenter test trailer is specifically designed to measure the forces and moments a tire yields when on the road in various situations. Both passenger car and motorcycle tires can be measured. On the in-house developed motorcycle tire measurement setup, tires can be measured at camber angles up to 70 degrees. Besides gathering the input for the Simcenter MF-Tool parameter identification tool and subsequently the Simcenter MF-Tyre/MF-Swift tire models, the measurement facilities are also used for validation and benchmarking studies.
Tire Model Parameter Identification : Convert measured data into parameters for Simcenter MF-Tyre/MF-Swift models using a user-friendly tire parameter identification tool that includes data visualization, database functionality, and advanced estimation capabilities. The Simcenter MF-Tool also enables visualization and tuning/modification of tire models. It allows engineers to study the effects of changing tire conditions such as tire inflation pressure, stiffness, friction levels, by the automatic scaling of tire properties. Users can also create their own "virtual tire" by modifying tire properties with standard tire model parameters or measured data.

SIEMENS SIMCENTER 3D High-Frequency Electromagnetics : Industry 4.0 factories, incorporating wireless IoT systems, will operate within a complex and noisy electromagnetic environment. There is an increasing number of electronic devices and electric cables and wires in vehicles. There is a growing number of antennas and new types of wireless devices. 
Simcenter for high-frequency electromagnetics addresses a wide frequency spectrum to cover all prime analysis needs. Users can select the most appropriate from a range of dedicated solvers. These include full wave solvers based on integral methods for solving Maxwell’s electromagnetic equations (Method of Moments) and asymptotic methods based on the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) and iterative physical optics (IPO). Efficiently solve for 2.5D as well as for full 3D field problems. Solver acceleration options are embedded to facilitate straightforward handling of ultra-large-scale, system-level models such as full aircraft, satellites, ships, and cars.
Iterative Physical Optics : Iterative Physical Optics (IPO) is a current -based iterative high-frequency technique. IPO is applicable in the evaluation of the interaction between a radiating source and a scattering structure whose dimensions are larger than the field wavelength (e.g. antenna reflectors, radomes, vehicles, etc). The application of the equivalence theorem for the description of the scattering mechanism and adoption of the iterative process allows the reconstruction of the interactions between objects in complex scenarios without resorting to ray-tracing. The computational capabilities are optimized by exploiting of cutting edge technologies: GPU computing, Fast Far-Field Approximation algorithm, and iterative relaxation techniques. Thin sheet and impedance boundary conditions formulations are available.
Method of Moments (MoM) : MoM solves the Maxwell equations in a discrete form without making any approximation: the problem is discretized and transformed into a system of linear equations. Both standard (direct) and fast (iterative with Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm) solution approach is available. Different boundary conditions are managed: Electric Field Integral Equation (EFIE), Impedance Boundary Conditions (IBC), Combined Field Integral Equation (CFIE) and, Poggio-Miller-Chang-Harrington-Wu-Tsai (PMCHWT).
Preconditioners (e.g. Multi-Resolution, SPLU, ILUT) speed up the convergence of the iterative solution approach. Low-frequency stabilization methods (S-PEEC formulation) solves the Low-Frequency Breakdown problem (very ill-conditioned linear system). The multi-port approach minimizes the computational burden for the evaluation of active solutions. MoM is suitable in case accuracy is needed for complex problems (in terms of geometries and materials) and when the interaction between the radiation source and the scattering structure is strong.
Plasma Modeling : Plasma modeling in Simcenter can be used to optimize design of various kinds of circuit breakers including gas/self-blast, molded case, high and low voltage.
Uniform Theory of Diffraction : The Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD) is a “ray” method, based on an asymptotic solution of the Maxwell equations. UTD is applicable when a radiating source interacts with a scattering structure whose dimensions are much larger than the field wavelength (e.g., ships, vehicles, or scenario configurations, like airports, factories, cities, etc.). Under these hypotheses, similarly to the optics case, the electromagnetic scattering can be described as the combination of discrete contributions (reflections and diffractions of different orders) from a number of “hot points” distributed on the structure (edge, wedge, vertex) according to relatively simple geometric laws relating to the propagation of rays. UTD manages real materials characterized through transmission and reflection coefficients.

Engineering documentation brings visibility to the composite details during verification, including drop-off profiles, ply sequence order, and ply materials. Fibersim helps automate the creation of cross sections, annotations, and core samples that are updatable as changes occur, ensuring the design is accurately reflected. Fibersim core sampling capabilities provide deeper details, such as ply thickness changes, fiber deviation, balance, and symmetry, which are invaluable in ensuring product quality. Understanding laminate weight and cost is critical to making go/no-go decisions during verification. Fibersim instantly provides the laminate weight and cost, including post cure processes, to provide the most accurate information during review.
Assembly relationships, such as packaging and clash detection, are an important aspect of design verification as well. Fibersim automatically creates surface and solid representations that allow you to detect clash between assembly components and ensure that packaging requirements are met.
Detailed Design Definition : Whether you are designing a solid airfoil with Fibersim’s Volume Fill capability, using Zone-based design to produce nested plies in a large structural component, or leveraging Fibersim’s unique Multi-Ply approach to automate a ply-based design, Fibersim has the optimal design methodology for your part type.  Once authored, this complete composite definition can be leveraged throughout the enterprise, from flat patterns and laser projected ply boundaries on the shop floor to 3D documentation for design reviews to accurate weights directly in Teamcenter.
Preliminary Design
Fibersim’s bi-directional Analysis Interface provides an automated exchange of stress requirements into a CAD digital twin.  Even before detailing the part with design rules, preliminary weights and space claim solids can be derived from the zone definition.  Once the final ply boundaries have been defined, the true fiber orientations can be sent back to stress to be re-analyzed with the as-manufactured definition.
Product Producibility Simulation
Fibersim’s producibility simulation is a production-proven capability to accurate flat patterns and true fiber orientations.  With the complex curvature and advanced materials of modern composites, specified orientations cannot be assumed, and having a reliable simulation of the part producibility is critical to repeatable and high-performing parts. Fibersim can also provide a preliminary look at path planning challenges for automated deposition.

SIEMENS SIMCENTER SAMTECH TEA PIPE Software : CAE-based design of flexible hoses/pipes in NX platform.
Designing flexible hoses, pipes or cables is a challenging task for designers and engineers and, if not performed correctly, can lead to expensive product recalls. LMS Samtech Tea Pipe from Siemens PLM Software is now available within NX environment.This enables designers and engineers to simulate mounting problems, collisions, ovalization and buckling in the hoses before committing to expensive prototypes.
Rigid and flexible hoses have to be correctly designed in order to avoid failures and vehicles call backs. Up-front, nonlinear computer simulation provides the necessary engineering insight and allows submitting the virtual pipe model to various loadings: pressure, temperature and dynamic excitations. Torsion free designs can be obtained rapidly based on virtual prototype.
Additionally, since some of these pipes are located close to hot components, they cannot enter into contact with them during normal operation of the pipes and the sub-systems they are mounted in. On other circumstances, sliding contact may be authorized and is included in the simulation model.
Furthermore, pipes may also vibrate due to their natural eigen frequencies or due to an external excitation, which might lead to loose connections or even leakage of the fluid in the pipe. This tool provides an environment to account for all such vibrations and improve the end design.
Advanced solver capabilities embedded within software includes: – Quasi-static solving technology allowing to: – find the best position of intermediate supports, – monitor and reduce reaction efforts, – keep the bending radius within a given limit to avoid fatigue, – reduce or avoid torsion in the pipe, – ensure clearance with moving or fixed parts, – Capability to look at dynamic behavior in the frequency domain.
LMS Samtech Tea Pipe enables pipes designer and analyst engineers to: - compute and visualize the eigen modes taking into account stressed mounted configuration, –  evaluate effect of ageing on mode shapes, –  visualize harmonic response in terms of deformation and overstress. –  take into account nonlinear characteristics in their design: – study the effects of inertia and damping, – analyze the effects of thermal dependent material.
Pipe manufacturers want to check as soon as possible some key features of their pipes: curvature, number of connectors and supports, detection of possible collisions… TEA Pipe provides you with a comprehensive and very powerful software for pipes analysis. It allows the use of a Pipe Manufacturer Database
LMS SamtechTM Tea Pipe software, a comprehensive solution dedicated for mechanical simulation of hoses, cables and pipes. With LMS Tea Pipe, engineers can include the complex hose material behavior and define pipe connectors and support geometries from CAD to determine the optimal length, the connector positions and orientation while checking collisions and curvatures. Simulations can be performed for quasi-static or both linear and nonlinear dynamics loading. The solution is a perfect fit for brake hose design by simulation, and helps Chery engineers decrease their workload, shorten the design cycle and reduce development costs. Using LMS Tea Pipe, engineers can conduct more accurate and more complete studies before the prototype phase. In addition, they can optimize the design and reduce the required length of the pipes, which is also a big cost saver. The Chery engineers validated LMS Tea Pipe for the first time on a complete new vehicle project, and were immediately impressed by the accuracy of the results.

Boundary Element Acoustics : Often used for exterior acoustics problems, the boundary element method (BEM) is ideal for problems involving very complex geometry that may be a challenge to model for the FEM method. The BEM method helps simplify exterior acoustics simulation since only the outer surface mesh of the geometry is needed. This simplifies both the modeling process and reduces the degrees of freedom in the simulation model which will result in easier analysis.
Finite Element Acoustics : The finite element method (FEM) for acoustics analysis is ideal for simulating interior acoustics problems. In addition to FEM being the more efficient method in terms of solution speed, FEM acoustics lets you perform coupled vibro-acoustics analyses that take structural modes and soundproofing materials into consideration. FEM acoustics can be easily used to solve exterior acoustics problems as well, such as for noise radiation analysis for powertrain components like air induction systems or gearboxes.Ray Acoustics : Performing acoustic simulations up to high-frequency ranges is not always possible with standard finite element method (FEM) and boundary element method (BEM) technologies. Ray Acoustics allows you to competently and accurately perform acoustic analysis for high frequencies and allows you to efficiently and accurately perform various audio and in-vehicle acoustic comfort simulations, covering the entire hearing frequency range.  Parking sensors and nearfield ADAS sensors are a good example use case where ray acoustics can help you quickly assess performance of these ultrasonic transducers and sensors which operate at frequencies of 40 kHz and beyond.

SIEMENS SIMCENTER : Model-based Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS) : Use qualitative simulation to analyze the potential impact of design decisions
Build a Digital Risk Twin of your system to identify the expected behavior and the impact of potential failures and risks associated with a design configuration in an objective, repeatable, and traceable process. Using qualitative simulation, you will be able to easily analyze and understand the potential impact of design decisions on product safety, reliability (technical risk), and its operational availability before it becomes impractical to change the configuration of the product. This allows you to design-for-reliability and link functional failures for each maintainable item and identify the most cost-effective maintenance approach tailored to the asset usage.
RAMS includes the following system simulation capabilities:
Design for Reliability and Maintainability  : Focus on design for reliability and provide a model-based solution that combines capabilities for reliability allocation, reliability block diagrams, and reliability /availability analysis with multiple failure distribution methodologies. Enable your engineers to generate design and service recommendations at each stage of the product lifecycle based on simulation analysis that can be aligned with the specific design state / operational configuration.
Maintenance Cost Estimates : Enable analysis and trade studies of sustainment costs based upon the design configuration, the associated mission profile, operating environment, and maintenance approach. Establish accurate cost estimation for the system, sub-systems, and key assemblies of an asset and then use it to compare maintenance-related through-life costs for alternate maintenance concepts.
Maintenance Effectiveness Review (MER) : Identify poor performing components and optimize the current maintenance by prioritizing unreliable items and optimizing their maintenance in a configuration managed process using a back-fit RCM methodology. MER offers potential cost, schedule and technical benefits to the sustainment of complex platforms.
Reliability Allocation : Break down top-level reliability down to the system’s constituent components and parts. Using specific targets as requirements during the system engineering process allows engineers to confidently design or acquire items to meet reliability targets. When items are later integrated into the wider system, fewer deviations from reliability targets are encountered leading to a reduction in redesign risk and costs.
Reliability Block Diagram : Generate reliability analyses directly from the Digital Risk Twin, allowing for real-time, contextual analysis to keep track of the design reliability. Model a wide range of complex configurations, including series, parallel, standby redundancy, K/N, and exclusion, then engage the powerful calculation engine to compute reliability, availability, maintainability, and life cycle costs.
Reliability-centered Maintenance (RCM) : Perform RCM analysis to identify the optimal maintenance schedule based on its expected usage and anticipated reliability. Generate technical feasibility assessment and cost comparison of alternate maintenance approaches that are configurable to integrate within an organization’s engineering processes, consistent with industry standards (e.g. MSG3, MIL 3034, SAE-JA1012) and efficient and cost-effective at each stage of the asset life-cycle.
Use MADe modeling to build an extensible and reusable visual representation of your product based on a standardized taxonomy of functions and failures to ensure consistency across an organization and facilitate knowledge capture and transfer. Leverage and combine quantitative simulation results of 1D performance twin with the qualitative result of Digital Risk Twin to drive design changes and increase operational availability.

All SmartParts incorporate two decades of airflow modeling experience at Mentor Graphics’ Mechanical Analysis Division, and are aimed at streamlining model creation, minimizingsolution times, and maximizing results accuracy. Integration with CAD FloVENT is also integrated with CAD software. Use existing native data from Creo Parametric, Autodesk Inventor, Solidworksand other CAD software, as well as the DXF file format easily. Grid FloVENT’s grid is structured Cartesian - the most stable and numerically efficient type of grid available. The ability tolocalize is also included for finer resolution where it is needed, minimizing solution time. Gridding in FloVENT is associated with SmartParts and is generated as part of the model assembly process withrefinement under user control. This methodology is intuitive  and straightforward enabling engineers to focus on design rather than analysis. Gridding is instantaneous and reliable inFloVENT as compared to traditional tools that require significant time and expertise to master. Finally, FloVENT is the only analysis software with object associated grid that eliminatesre-gridding for each model modification. ??? Heat Exchangers ??? CRAC Units ??? Fans ??? Rooms
