Welcome to the "new-look" SIMULIA e-News. To ensure that you get news and updates in a more timely manner, we will post updates for all disciplines every two months.
The SIMULIA Champions program is in its 6th year and we now have 170 champions. The 2025 class was just announced, with 39 SIMULIA experts from around the world being honored for their expertise and commitment to simulation. Our champions work in industries from automotive to aerospace to tech and civil engineering, at companies ranging from innovative new start-ups to some of the largest multinationals in the world. Discover the SIMULIA Champions on our blog, in the SIMULIA Community, and perhaps even at a SIMULIA Regional User Meeting near you.
We also have a round-up of our material about the use of AI and machine learning in simulation. Applications of AI in industries including transportation and mobility, life sciences, industrial equipment and marine and offshore are now all collected in one place on our website. Meanwhile, we are also proud to announce the integration of Apple Vision Pro into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Read on to learn how this enables immersive spatial experiences of virtual twins.
This month, we visited the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona - the leading industry conference for mobile technology - and our experts talked about topics including virtual twins, spatial experiences and 6G, the future of mobile. You can find recordings of their interviews below.
Other topics in this month's newsletter include a range of webinars from the Abaqus in a Nutshell series and our Rail Industry series, as well as blog posts on topics including superconductors, hydrogen storage, headlight defrosting and MODSIM. Finally, don't forget about the SIMULIA Regional User Meetings, starting 29 April - 1 May with the Americas Conference.
Highlights in this edition include:
SIMULIA Regional User Meetings: Learn how industry leaders are using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and SIMULIA’s Portfolio. Find a Regional User Meeting in your area.
Also feel free to explore our blog posts and e-seminars on various engineering trends. Continue reading to learn more!
