Imagine... what if you could design and develop the perfect product in a faster,
easier, and more reliable way. And what if you could engineer innovation
better and faster than ever before? For too long engineers have been working in silos.
Now is the time to unite the engineering disciplines into a comprehensive Digital Twin.
By uniquely combining test and simulation, Simcenter allows you to accelerate innovation
over the entire life cycle. The SimRod is born from a fun all-electric sports car.
It grew into a comprehensive Simcenter technology demonstrator
and now showcases all the Simcenter technologies applied to a single vehicle.
It establishes the validity of Digital Twin and illustrates the process of confirming the
Simcenter performance predictions. Explore the engineering capabilities nested in the SimRod
and discover why Simcenter is the beating heart of its Digital Twin.
