Simulation-based engineering with Simcenter 3D Student Edition

In today’s engineering world, mastering early-stage simulation is essential.

Simulation-based engineering helps you validate and refine designs in a virtual environment by answering questions like: will it withstand the load, how long until fatigue failure, is it too noisy or is the motor sized correctly for the required torque?

By integrating simulation early in the design process, you can shorten design cycles, reduce production costs and minimize waste. For students, these skills strengthen your technical foundation, improve decision-making and help you communicate complex engineering trade-offs with confidence.

Simcenter 3D Student Edition is an industry standard multidisciplinary simulation platform designed for academic use, helping students and educators bring professional simulation workflows into coursework, research and design projects. Join this session for a practical walkthrough of how to start learning simulation-based engineering using Simcenter 3D Student Edition, from setup through solving and interpreting results, so you can apply these methods in coursework, projects and competitions.

What you will learn:

• What simulation-based engineering means and how it changes the traditional build-test-fix cycle
• How an end-to-end workflow comes together: geometry preparation, meshing, loads and constraints, solve and postprocessing
• How to interpret results using contour plots, animations, annotations and XY graphing
• How Simcenter 3D brings multiple disciplines together including structures, durability, thermal, acoustics, motion, electromagnetics and multiphysics to support early design decisions
• How to use virtual prototyping to explore design options and iterate faster before committing to physical builds
