Breaking Engineering Barriers with: AI & Cloud Simulation for High-Performance EVs

Watch On Demand

In collaboration with

The race to deliver high-performance electric vehicles is forcing engineering leaders to rethink how they design and validate complex powertrain systems. Traditional CAE workflows face bottlenecks—from data gaps to compute limits—that slow innovation.

In this webinar, Diego Paterna (Schaeffler) and Ioannis Tsavlidis (SimScale) will discuss how AI and cloud-native simulation are reshaping engineering while market pressures require ever shorter design cycles for EV powertrains, stressing the traditional V-model for new product development.

They’ll explore the opportunities and challenges of applying new methods such as Physics AI surrogate models to accelerate simulation predictions and AI agents to automate workflows, and share perspectives on how engineering teams can accelerate design cycles, reduce costs, and collaborate more effectively across the supply chain.

    “If there is an architect that comes to you with a geometry in the morning, you can get the building ready for simulation in one or two hours, get the results after lunch and have time to go through a process of changes, according to the results. So in one day, we are able to optimize. The results we get from SimScale help us quickly understand how a building is going to behave and what kind of impact the building geometry will have on the surrounding space.”

    “ITW is a world leader in plastic components for the automotive industry and we are successfully using SimScale in order to understand the insertion/holding force of our fasteners, and perform vibration and fatigue stress to our brackets and different components. Since I am not a dedicated FEA engineer, I need something fairly intuitive and fast that points me in the right direction and SimScale is perfect for this with a very well-designed interface. I get good results for quite complicated plastic parts that have a lot of deformation. Plus, if I run into trouble, I can always rely on the very helpful and proactive SimScale support team.”
