Automotive Performance Engineering

Successfully handling today’s vehicle design and engineering challenges requires innovative designs that are explored digitally and confirmed physically.

By offering a wide range of simulation and testing solutions, as well as engineering services, Siemens Digital Industries Software helps you solve difficult design decisions. The combined leverage of test and simulation to support performance engineering and mechatronic system validation brings on the concept of the digital twin - best of class modeling, best of class testing, or combination there-off - which is a key enabler to delivering solutions to accelerate product design and performance engineering. By connecting people, technologies, and processes, we help you to design right the first time.

Collaboration and integration to improve the vehicle of the future

Modern vehicle demands force manufacturers to accelerate their development processes. Keeping up with an increased production schedule while maintaining profitability is a serious challenge, and simply cutting costs isn’t enough. Manufacturers need to streamline their development processes so they can improve the performance of vehicles and reduce development times.

Siemens Digital Industries Software enables engineering departments to work more closely together using a comprehensive digital twin. It allows engineers to understand exactly how components will perform when integrated with others and ensures that even the first prototype works as planned. Simcenter solutions combine the established strengths of simulation, testing, model-based systems engineering, and AI, as the key to the future of vehicle performance engineering.
