For aerostructure analysis, Simcenter automates the generation of free-body diagrams and margin of safety (MoS) calculations, reducing certification timelines by 20%.

Engineers can assess load paths across aircraft models and conduct full-envelope MoS analysis without relying on “costly” in-house tools.

Siemens Digital Industries Software simulation and test solutions senior vice president Jean-Claude Ercolanelli said: “These updates empower engineers to meet the evolving challenges of electrification and advanced air mobility.

“We’re delivering tools that drive innovation, improve efficiency and support a more sustainable and connected future. Our Simcenter portfolio is transforming engineering simulation.”

Simcenter accelerates additive manufacturing simulations by 200% through voxel mesh improvements and improves collaboration with centralised model data and streamlines load and boundary condition transfers, according to the company.

In July 2024, Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, launched a new cooling solution as part of its growth and sustainability efforts.

The district cooling system, featuring five plants around the airport, uses Siemens Deman Flow technology to lower energy costs and improve efficiency.

In March 2023, Siemens Logistics secured a contract to implement its baggage handling and sorting technology at the new Terminal 2 (T2) of Hefei Xinqiao Airport in China.

The contract covered the delivery of Siemens’ VarioTray Individual Carrier System for efficient baggage handling.
