Simcenter Amesim

Simcenter Amesim is a commercial <a href="/facts/Simulation/Q4QJV1oI">simulation</a> software for the modeling and analysis of multi-domain systems. It is part of <a href="/facts/Systems_engineering/gFwRmkDp">systems engineering</a> domain and falls into the <a href="/facts/Mechatronic/bfxokpu6">mechatronic</a> engineering field.
The software package is a suite of tools used to model, analyze and predict the performance of <a href="/facts/Mechatronics/bfxokpu6">mechatronics</a> systems. Models are described using <a href="/facts/Nonlinear/4aYItALC">nonlinear</a> time-dependent analytical equations that represent the system's hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, electric or mechanical behavior. Compared to 3D <a href="/facts/Computer-aided_engineering/dAsPLr5Y">CAE</a> modeling this approach gives the capability to simulate the behavior of systems before detailed <a href="/facts/Computer-aided_design/5gSXrmmN">CAD</a> geometry is available, hence it is used earlier in the system design cycle or <a href="/facts/V-Model/BI5sYz27">V-Model</a>.
To create a simulation model for a system, a set of <a href="/facts/Library_(computing)/xRzL3P7q">libraries</a> is used. These contain pre-defined components for different <a href="/facts/Physics/a7aH2y08">physical</a> domains. The icons in the system have to be connected and for this purpose each icon has ports, which have several inputs and outputs. <a href="/facts/Causality/Swh496X7">Causality</a> is enforced by linking the inputs of one icon to the outputs of another icon (and vice versa).
Simcenter Amesim libraries are written in C language, Python and also support <a href="/facts/Modelica/pjWEmtEL">Modelica</a>, which is a non-proprietary, object-oriented, equation based language to model complex physical systems containing, e.g., mechanical, electrical, electronic, hydraulic, thermal, control, electric power or process-oriented subcomponents. The software runs on <a href="/facts/Linux/9FvCKSTq">Linux</a> and on <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Windows</a> platforms.
Simcenter Amesim is a part of the <a href="/facts/Siemens_Digital_Industries_Software/WakFThme">Siemens Digital Industries Software</a> Simcenter portfolio. This combines 1D simulation, 3D CAE and physical testing with intelligent reporting and data analytics. This portfolio is intended for development of complex products that include smart systems, through implementing a <a href="/facts/Predictive_engineering_analytics/o6grG1kP">Predictive Engineering Analytics</a> approach.
