Siemens HEEDS MDO 2021.1.0

The software developer HEEDS Design Space Exploration is pleased to announce the availability of HEEDS MDO 2021.1. All enhancements and updates this release increase usability, connectivity and productivity to put you more in control of the design process and the interpretation of results and insight gained.

Release Highlights

New MAGNET and MOTORSOLVE portals
Two new portals are now available to support electric motor design: Simcenter MAGNET and Simcenter MOTORSOLVE, respectively for low frequency electromagnetic field simulations and for electric machine design w/o initial calibration.
New Neural Network trainer and ONNX portal
Build, train, and deploy a neural network within your workflows using HEEDS study data.The new ONNX portal in HEEDS MDO allows you to evaluate designs on neural networks or on any external machine learning model exported to ONNX format.
Analysis Grouping
Combine analyses into functional and logical groups. Keep your process workflows organized with the ability to expand, collapse, and adjust color.
Data Reuse Updates
Assemble designs from multiple study runs into one location, including visualization and other output data. Set up the data for additional design space search or immediate postprocessing.
Sobol Indices
The Influence method on the Investigate Tab now supports computing influence from total Sobol Indices. This variance-based analysis encompasses both the first order influence as well as interactions.
Easier Surrogate Comparison
Compare surrogates more easily using the new predictive correlation coefficient and column sorting.


HEEDS MDO is a robust multidisciplinary design optimization software package that automates the search for better solutions within a given design space and dramatically reduces design time.

HEEDS MDO enables you to quickly find designs that perform extremely well according to multiple criteria, while simultaneously satisfying multiple constraints and using a large number of variables. In an overnight run, HEEDS can produce results that would take weeks to accomplish manually.

The release of HEEDS 2021.1 brings significant enhancements that accelerate your product development processes. In this release, developers continued to expand our portal offering with threenew ones and enhancements to existing portals. The addition of the new portals brings our total number of interfaces to 59, complemented by an additional 33 general templates.

This release also includes new features to generate and make use of AI Neural Networks. The Neural Network Builder in HEEDS Post allows users to readily transform their simulation and test datasets into powerful predictive ONNX models that can immediately be incorporated within HEEDS MDO workflows.

The resume and restart capabilities have been simplified, streamlined and enhanced in terms of utilizing previous study data from multiple sources.

Enhancing Insight & Discovery capabilities, developers have added Sobol sensitivity analysis and two new quality metrics to help users better judge the quality of surrogates.

HEEDS 2021.1 also offers several other new features and updates that continue to streamline design space exploration. It should also be noted that HEEDS 2021.1 will be the last release to support Python 2.7. Starting HEEDS 2021.2, the only supported versionsof Python will be 3.x
