Description

HEEDS is an advanced software suite designed for design space exploration and optimization that seamlessly connects with various commercial computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools to foster product innovation. By automating analysis workflows, HEEDS significantly speeds up the product development cycle (Process Automation), optimizes the use of computational resources (Distributed Execution), and conducts thorough explorations of the design landscape for creative solutions (Efficient Search), while also ensuring that new designs meet performance standards through rigorous assessment (Insight & Discovery). The software facilitates automated workflows, streamlining the product development process for users. HEEDS boasts a comprehensive array of pre-built interfaces for numerous CAD and CAE applications, allowing for rapid and effortless integration of different technologies without requiring custom scripts. Moreover, data can be shared automatically among various modeling and simulation tools to assess and compare performance trade-offs effectively, enhancing decision-making in the design process. This interconnectedness not only saves time but also leads to more innovative and effective product solutions.

Description

Simcenter Inspire is a Siemens CAE solution built for designers who want to integrate simulation, optimization, and manufacturability analysis directly into the design workflow. It provides a unified environment for geometry modeling, generative design, manufacturing simulation, and performance validation. The platform helps teams explore design concepts quickly while understanding structural, motion, and fluid behavior earlier in development. Simcenter Inspire offers a CAD-like experience, making advanced computational physics more accessible to users who may not be traditional simulation specialists. Its hybrid modeling capabilities allow users to combine BRep, PolyNURBS organic modeling, facets, and implicit geometry with intelligent sketching and construction history. Embedded solvers help automate or remove meshing steps, enabling faster analysis while maintaining accuracy. The software includes optimization tools that support lightweighting, material reduction, structural improvement, and manufacturable design outcomes. Simcenter Inspire also includes specialized tools such as Inspire Cast, Inspire Form, Inspire Mold, Inspire Extrude, Inspire Polyfoam, Inspire 3D Print, Inspire Render, and Inspire Studio. By connecting ideation, validation, optimization, and production planning, Simcenter Inspire helps companies reduce development cycles and create better-performing parts.
