Digitalization is making waves across countless industries, and surfing is no exception. Technologies like computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, additive manufacturing, big data, biomimicry, and computer aided structural analysis, have been revolutionizing the design and testing of surfboards. The sport of surfing is quickly outgrowing its niche. By adding a strong scientific and engineering-based approach, researchers are making surfing more accessible and enjoyable. As researchers navigate through the uncharted waters of innovation, they’re committed to striking the crucial balance between speed, agility, control, and therefore safety. Using the digital twin and CFD, these scientists and engineers are aiming to develop the ideal board for surfers of all styles, skill sets, and preferences, faced with waves of all sizes, shapes, and magnitudes. #Simulation #CFD #CFDSimulation

Did you know the digital twin has a long and illustrious past? Its journey began in the 1960s with NASA space missions. Fast-forward to 2012 and the digital twin – along with Siemens Xcelerator – played a key role in the success of the Mars rover “Curiosity.” Siemens helped develop, simulate, test and build the rover to gather key scientific data on the red planet. Today, the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) is advancing the digital twin to heights never imagined. As the digital era continues, digital twins and IoT technology are revolutionizing product processes and supply chains offering unprecedented transparency and efficiency. From smart homes, smart cities, smart factories and all things connected. #IoT #DigitalTwin #NASA

A newly announced integration of Neural Concept's cutting-edge 3D deep learning platform with Siemens' Simcenter STAR-CCM+ allows their customers to execute computational fluid dynamics (#CFD) simulations on a massive scale using dedicated high-performance computing (HPC) resources in the cloud. This represents a significant advancement for machine learning (ML)-enhanced pipelines, extending and accelerating processing, generative and predictive ML tasks. What is Neural Concept? It's a 3D Deep Learning platform which accelerates the adoption of AI for engineering design and redefines design timelines and product performances. Over 60 OEMs including Airbus, General Electrics, Subaru, Mubea, and four of ten Formula 1 teams use Neural Concept to place AI at the center of the simulation and design process to bring innovative products to market faster. Because Neural Concept has now interfaced Siemens’ Simcenter STAR-CCM+ and NX software for product engineering within its platform, customers can now access Siemens Simcenter STAR-CCM+ from within its platform to offer an optimized user experience and a scalable compute environment that multiplies the impact of CAE data-scientists. https://sie.ag/2UBmE5 (image courtesy of Neural Concept)

In its pursuit of excellence to continue to craft the best #espresso machines in the world, Olympia Express builds on the legacy of the past while adopting modern tools to innovate for the future. ☕ Based in Switzerland, the 95-year-old company is using industry software from the #SiemensXcelerator portfolio to digitally transform the design and production of its renowned machines. This has allowed them to reduce prototyping efforts by 50% and boost productivity by up to 30%, leaving time and resources for new product innovation, market development, and service for its older Cremina machines still in service (some up to 50+ years old). Thomas Schätti, CEO of Olympia Express explains, “When we took over the company, the previous owners had designed in 2D, so the data was very useful to us. The decision to switch to the Siemens Xcelerator software portfolio was driven by our need for precision and efficiency. Solid Edge allows us to create highly accurate 3D models which streamline our production process from design to manufacturing, saving time and resources to be on the top of our game. We remodeled all the parts of the machine in Solid Edge and made new models as well as spare parts. We started afresh and built a complete data engineering set. And since then, we have made various design iterations and improvements to the machines.” While the Olympia Express brand and its Cremina espresso machines have achieved legendary status within the coffee loving community, the company is not content to rest on its name and reputation alone – and has used Solid Edge to help develop Mina, a new portable espresso machine that only needs access to boiling water and fresh grounds to achieve the high-quality beverage wherever they need it. Solid Edge’s 3D modelling tools have enabled the team to efficiently reuse its knowledge and 3D data and create a brand-new product category for the company, launching at #WOCCOPENHAGEN this month.

Are EV (electric vehicle) batteries tough and reliable enough? Automotive customers want to ensure the longevity of their investment in a new EV and don’t want any surprise repair expenses later down the road. Automotive designers can use Siemens' Simcenter Amesim to analyze the effects of a speed bump on an EV’s battery, depending on the velocity of the car and the height and shape of the bump. Multiphysics simulation capabilities help automotive engineers analyze the possible contact shocks against the battery pack, depending on different chassis designs. Check out the link in our comments to learn how simulation software can help safeguard the risks to batteries from collisions and bumpy rides that may discourage customers from buying EVs. #ElectricVehicle #EV #Simulation

Today we're introducing Calibre 3DThermal, an innovative software for thermal analysis, verification and debugging in 3D integrated circuits (3D-ICs). The highlights: 1️⃣ Calibre 3DThermal enables chip designers to rapidly model, visualize and mitigate thermal effects in their designs from early-stage chip and package-inward exploration through to design signoff by incorporating elements of Calibre verification software and Calibre 3DSTACK software along with our Simcenter Flotherm software solver engine. Calibre 3DThermal provides the outputs necessary for thermal impacts to be considered in electrical simulations. 2️⃣ Calibre 3DThermal can both consume as input boundary conditions as well as provide output to Simcenter Flotherm – enabling true IC to system thermal modeling from IC to package to board to system level. 3️⃣ Calibre 3DThermal was developed to address challenges of 3D-IC architectures where controlling heat dissipation is a key requirement. It offers fast, accurate, powerful and comprehensive approaches to identifying and rapidly addressing complex thermal issues. It provides the flexibility to start initial feasibility analysis with minimal inputs and can later perform more detailed analyses considering metalization details and their impact on thermal considerations as more detailed information becomes available. This progressive approach helps designers to refine their analysis and apply fixes such as floorplanning changes and adding stacked vias or TSVs to avoid thermal hotspots and/or dissipate heat more effectively. This iterative process continues until the final assembly is complete, significantly reducing the risk of performance, reliability and manufacturing issues at final tape-out. Delivering thermal analysis at this advanced level requires a complete understanding of the 3D-IC assembly. Waiting until the assembly is complete to identify and correct errors can severely disrupt design schedules, but Calibre 3DThermal mitigates this risk through automation and integration, allowing designers to iterate thermal analysis at whichever design stage they are working on. “Calibre 3DThermal represents a significant advancement in 3D-IC design and verification, providing designers with the capabilities they need to address thermal challenges early in the design process,” said Michael Buehler-Garcia, our VP, Calibre Product Management. “By integrating thermal analysis directly into all stages of the IC design flow, we’re enabling our customers to create more reliable, high-performance 3DICs with greater confidence and efficiency.” #IC #IntegratedCircuitDesign #News Find all the details in our newsroom 👉 https://sie.ag/7HAaUE
