Expertise

Siemens Digital Industries Software is driving the transformation to enable a digital enterprise where engineering, manufacturing and electronics design meet tomorrow.

Simcenter™, part of the Siemens Xcelerator™ portfolio, uniquely combines powerful multiphysics engineering methodologies across system simulation, computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulation and physical testing. It leverages AI capabilities for faster decisions and improved user experience and enables productivity through cross-domain workflow automation as well as process and data management. Its solutions provide engineers with detailed insight into the real-world performance of their product or process, allowing them to increase productivity, shorten time to market, and accelerate innovation over the entire product lifecycle.

Siemens Industry Software (SISW) NV in Leuven represents the headquarters of the Simulation and Test Solutions (STS) business segment. Its solutions serve a worldwide range of customers from various industries such as automotive, aerospace and machinery. In particular, SISW has extensive experience in developing software and hardware solutions as well as providing services with and for top customers in the mobility sector. Within this, there is a focus towards noise, vibration, durability, thermal, energy, safety, sensing, control and autonomous.

To support its state-of-the-art products and services, the SISW research department participates in a large number of Flemish and European-funded projects and is member of several European research associations such as EARPA, BEPA and 2Zero. Since the founding of EARPA, Siemens has been active both as participant as well as coordinator in more than 150 EC-funded projects.
