Siemens Simcenter Amesim 2021.1.0

Siemens Digital Industries Software announces the new release of Simcenter Amesim software, its market-leading 1D mechatronic system simulation platform. With this release, new system simulation tools help you perform your simulation tasks more efficiently, with tighter collaboration and integration, while lowering complexity barriers.

- Mechanics: Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) real time model for virtual commissioning with PLCSIM advanced, automatic creation of 3D mechanical models from Siemens PLM XML files

Vehicle electrification creates new challenges also beyond pure electric design. Simcenter Amesim 2021.1 comes with various new capabilities for vehicle electrification such as power electronics thermal modeling, two-speed electrical vehicle gearbox parameter optimization or torque vectoring design from a vehicle dynamics point of view. These new features help drive systems integration with key electric vehicle attributes.

This version also brings the new Simcenter ROM Builder software for creating Reduced Order Models (ROM). This tool helps creating easily reduced order models that can later speed up simulation or generate models for real-time and control synthesis.


In emerging Urban and advanced Air Mobility applications, getting flight dynamic model at early design stages can be a challenge. Simcenter Amesim 2021.1 offers two new propeller performance tools allowing a faster and earlier assessment of flight performance to support development of propulsion systems for innovative flying platform designs.

For marine, new submodels now have 3 degrees a freedom: surge, sway and yaw. This feature allows you to simulate the dynamic behavior of a ship during maneuvers or dynamic positioning, to computes the added resistance from the weather conditions and to simulates azimuth thrusters.

The Component Design Configuration tool of the fluid libraries has been improved to display full HCD assembly by detecting all connected components. Combined graphs are shown for all compatible components in the assembly, allowing to study the complete HCD assembly in a single window, to easily check the synchronization of spool elements in your valve and detect parameterization errors faster. To improve simulation accuracy, the new embedded CFD cabin extension include internal radiation to assess design changes using batch run and see the results in both 3D and 1D directly

You can then define your own strategy for air recirculation in the cabin.


Finally, new Automated Guided (AGV) demos help you study the stability of chassis with unstable load or high velocity and to switch easily from one scenario to another, whereas the new CAD Import gives you the possibility to generate complex 3D multi-body definitions within Simcenter Amesim and to preview and verify 3D model definition in CAD Import project before generating system model.



Simcenter Amesim allows system simulation engineers to virtually assess and optimize the performance of mechatronic systems. This will boost overall systems engineering productivity from the early development stages until the final performance validation and controls calibration.

Simcenter Amesim includes ready-to-use multi-physics libraries combined with application and industry-oriented solutions that are supported by powerful platform capabilities, to let you rapidly create models and accurately perform analysis. It is an open environment that can be integrated into your enterprise processes. You can easily couple the software with major computer-aided engineering (CAE), computer-aided design (CAD) and controls software packages, interoperate it with the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI), Modelica, and connect it with other Simcenter solutions, Teamcenter and Excel.

Alberto Soto, Technical Product Manager at Siemens PLM Software, explains how to optimize vehicle thermal comfort using the Embedded CFD Cabin capability of Simcenter Amesim.
