Stay integrated – Connecting all activities
As product development has become increasingly complex, there are more opportunities for misalignment between teams. Balancing trade-offs between performances is therefore important but it can only be achieved by having everyone aligned. Staying integrated means having a digital thread that connects all relevant stakeholders, models, and data.
With the latest releases of Simcenter Fluids and Thermal products, we continue to extend the seamless connection to other engineering solution domains.
✅ Quickly setup e-machine simulations for high fidelity loss predictions (Simcenter STAR-CCM+)
✅ Connect distributed engineering teams with Xcelerator Share cloud-based collaboration (Simcenter Flotherm)
These are just a few of the many new exciting features in the Simcenter Fluids and Thermal solution domain. Learn more about those and further new capabilities in the latest product release blog articles:
