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.

Stay integrated with Simcenter Fluids & Thermal

✅ 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)
