Deployed on AWS
    Access Simcenter on the cloud. Set up, run and analyze simulations through a web browser. Zero install, zero configuration and simple pricing makes it easy to run demanding simulations and scale out on the cloud.

    Overview

    Running CFD simulations on the cloud offers increased flexibility and scalability over on-premise hardware, with on-demand access and unlimited capacity. However, setting up and accessing the cloud using 3rd party providers often requires significant time and expertise in cloud and HPC technologies and interrupts existing workflows. Simcenter X, part of the Xcelerator as a Service (XaaS) offering, gives you instant access to virtual engineering workstation and HPC cluster environments running on optimized Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure, configured and managed by Siemens, with no additional setup needed.

    Highlights

    • Accessible - Immediately leverage simulation tools from any device. Quickly and easily build and run simulations in the cloud, access results and share files.
    • Flexible - Cloud gives you the freedom to access burst capacity when you need to, or to replace on-premises hardware. Quickly scale up or down as needed to meet those tight deadlines with time to spare or to tackle more ambitious projects. Transform CAPEX to OPEX to be more agile and get a better grip on cost by directly attributing it to simulation activities.
    • Scalable - Leverage the effectively unlimited capacity of AWS to run more simulations simultaneously and make faster and better informed decisions. Rest assured your simulations will be running on the latest hardware and infrastructure, configured according to best practices and managed by Siemens.

    Powerful Simulation Tool with a Learning Curve

    Reviewed on Apr 26, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    What I like best about Simcenter 3D is how tightly it integrates simulation with CAD, especially NX. You can update geometry and rerun simulations without starting from scratch, which saves a lot of time. The range of physics it supports — structural, thermal, flow, motion — all in one environment, is another major advantage. Plus, the ability to automate repetitive tasks and customize workflows makes it really powerful for complex projects.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    What I dislike about Simcenter 3D is the steep learning curve and the sometimes clunky interface. New users can get lost quickly because the software isn’t very intuitive, and the documentation doesn’t always fill the gaps. Some workflows feel unnecessarily complicated, and setting up certain types of simulations can take longer than it should.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Simcenter 3D addresses the challenge of disconnected simulation tools and siloed engineering workflows. By unifying CAD and CAE in a single environment, it reduces manual rework, improves data consistency, and speeds up iteration cycles. It also enables early validation of complex product behavior through multiphysics simulation, helping organizations cut physical testing costs and time-to-market. The benefit is faster, more confident design decisions and greater innovation agility across engineering teams.
