MUNICH—SimScale GmbH, the developer of a fully cloud-native simulation platform, recently introduced AI-powered real-time automotive design features, the company said in a release.

SimScale said it works with leading manufacturers, suppliers, and OEMs to ship better products faster while reducing R&D costs and increasing engineering innovation in a globally competitive landscape. Automotive companies use SimScale to design and optimize their products using a broad spectrum of analysis capabilities, including mechanical, thermal, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and electromagnetics.

The new features have reportedly unlocked next-generation engineering techniques made possible with cloud-native simulation, in which model and simulation data persist in a way that is “immediately accessible for AI, generative design, and optimization workflows,” the company said.

This includes a fully capable AI simulation feature that sits side-by-side with its physics solvers. It reportedly foresees “all data from the simulation to be used for AI training and inference to accelerate rapid design convergence in the cloud.”

SimScale is reported to be the “first fully cloud-native SaaS application for simulation.” By providing instant access to computational fluid dynamics, finite element analysis (FEA), thermodynamics, and electromagnetics analysis to more than 500,000 users, SimScale said it has “moved high-fidelity physics simulation technology from a complex and cost-prohibitive desktop application to a user-friendly cloud application accessible via a subscription-based pricing model.”
