2026 is off to a great start on the SIMULIA Blog! We've had a month full of content covering topics such as champions, customer stories and technical deep dives. Let's get right into it! 

	A Conversation with Niu Jing, SIMULIA Champion We interviewed SIMULIA Champion and Multibody Dynamics Simulation Expert at Envision Energy, NIU Jing, at SIMULIA’s Regional User Meeting in China. From a childhood fascination with a mechanical watch to optimizing wind turbine drivetrains, SIMULIA Champion NIU Jing’s journey is driven by curiosity. Hear how he uses SIMULIA’s multibody dynamics simulation, Simpack, to help solve vibration, noise, and dynamic load challenges. 📖 Read the full blog
	Democratizing CFD with Fluid Dynamics Engineer: How UX Is Shaping the Future of Simulation For decades, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been a domain of experts: powerful, technical and often inaccessible to those without specialized training. At Dassault Systèmes, we believe that simulation should empower all engineers, not just a select few. With Fluid Dynamics Engineer, our goal is to make advanced CFD and multiphysics simulation more intuitive, scalable and collaborative without compromising the scientific rigor that defines our technology. Democratizing CFD isn’t about simplifying science; it’s about designing experiences that make it easier to understand, explore and innovate. 📖 Read the full blog
	SIMULIA Simpack: Virtual Twin Technology Software Boosts Rail Freight Safety and Reliability Managing railway wagon safety and reliability over long distances is challenging with traditional physical testing and mathematical methods, especially as freight volumes, train lengths and speeds increase. Mechanical failures and track-related incidents heighten risks, while rail freight operators must also meet strict safety regulations and sustainability standards. Current testing methods are costly, labor-intensive, and lack the precision and sophistication of advanced industrial simulation software, such as SIMULIA Simpack, the current market leader in the rail industry. This article explains the issue-solving solutions that SIMULIA has available in its portfolio. 📖 Read the full blog

	Integrating Aerodynamics into Early Design Maximizing vehicle range and performance requires precise balance between design aesthetics and aerodynamic efficiency. Traditional design processes fragment creative and engineering teams into separate workflows. This separation limits the impact of aerodynamic performance feedback on early vehicle designs, potentially causing significant delays and costly modifications late in development cycles. A unified approach now integrates advanced aerodynamic simulation directly into early concept design stages. This article examines how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform bridges design and analysis workflows. We discuss traditional workflow limitations, available solutions, and the benefits of incorporating aerodynamic analysis from the initial design phases. 📖 Read the full blog
