Siemens Virtual ICE Conference 2025

Join us for our 26th Virtual ICE Conference, where Scania, NMC (Nissan Motorsport), and R&D CFD will present their experiences and achievements from their recent research and in-cylinder simulation activities. This will be complemented by presentations from Siemens Product Management and In-Cylinder Consultant on the recent and future capabilities of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-Cylinder solution.

Rethinking combustion – in-cylinder CFD simulation for the future of mobility

As the automotive industry navigates the transition to electrification, internal combustion engines (ICEs) remain a critical component of global mobility. This ICE Conference explores how in-cylinder CFD simulation is empowering automotive OEMs to rethink their powertrain strategies, balancing the evolution of ICE technologies alongside electric vehicles (EVs).

You’ll discover how predictive CFD modeling helps engineers tackle complex combustion phenomena, reduce emissions, and meet evolving regulatory standards like EU7. Learn about cutting-edge research in dual-fuel engines, hydrogen direct injection, e-fuels, and methanol retrofits for marine applications. Hear how leading automotive OEMs are reassessing their powertrain portfolios, using simulation to extend ICE viability.

Join experts from Siemens and leading automotive manufacturers to discover how simulation is driving innovation in combustion system development, enabling faster, more accurate, and more sustainable engine designs.
