Simerics, Inc. and Tech Soft 3D Announce the Launch of Simerics-CAD Software for Streamlined CFD Simulation and Design!

Simerics, Inc. and Tech Soft 3D have jointly launched Simerics-CAD, a groundbreaking software that integrates CAD and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to streamline the product design and testing process. The new tool enables engineers to efficiently conduct CFD preprocessing, model setup, and boundary condition assignments, offering an integrated, user-friendly experience.

As industries continue to strive for reduced hardware prototyping and minimized operating costs, the demand for efficient simulation tools has increased. Simerics-CAD directly addresses this need by combining powerful CFD simulation capabilities with the design process, significantly shortening simulation cycle times. This integration results in faster product development cycles, reducing the steps involved, saving time, and ultimately improving design outcomes.

Simerics-CAD is built upon Simerics-MP/MP+ and leverages Tech Soft 3D’s toolkits, including the HOOPS Exchange, which supports more than 30 of the most popular CAD formats. It features a seamless integration with Siemens Parasolid, the world’s leading modeling kernel. By licensing both the HOOPS Exchange and Siemens Parasolid, Simerics ensures a smooth user experience for preparing and editing CAD models, ultimately allowing for a more efficient simulation cycle.

The primary advantage of Simerics-CAD is its ability to integrate modeling and CFD testing into a single workflow. This unified approach eliminates redundant steps and allows for rapid iteration of designs, optimizing both efficiency and outcomes in a much more streamlined manner. As a result, users can now conduct digital prototyping early in the design stage, and throughout the entire research and development cycle, while benefiting from reduced time and costs associated with traditional CFD workflows.

The collaboration between Simerics and Tech Soft 3D has played a pivotal role in the creation of Simerics-CAD, with the software being developed in a fraction of the time thanks to their combined expertise. According to Ron Fritz, CEO of Tech Soft 3D, “We’re proud Simerics selected our team for this important application and strategic partnership, and we look forward to a long-term partnership with Simerics and success with Simerics-CAD.”

Rich Moore, Executive Vice President of Strategy at Simerics, expressed that the collaboration with Tech Soft 3D has allowed them to provide a comprehensive solution at a much more affordable price than traditional multi-software workflows, ultimately making advanced CFD accessible to more engineers and companies.

The partnership between Simerics and Tech Soft 3D ensures that mechanical engineers across the globe now have access to advanced simulation capabilities earlier in the design stage, facilitating faster, more accurate prototyping. With Simerics-CAD, industries such as automotive, aerospace, and energy can benefit from improved design processes that offer better accuracy, faster turnaround, and significantly reduced costs.
