Foundation Models: Your Base Camp for AI in Engineering Simulation

Watch On Demand

In collaboration with

AI is set to transform engineering simulation but, for many organizations, the path to adoption remains unclear. Lack of expertise, difficulties in locating and accessing the right data, or disconnected tools may sound like familiar challenges.

In this webinar, discover how teams can leverage foundation models as a “base camp” from which to explore Physics AI. Foundation models are pre-trained and ready for engineers to pick up and use, making  AI-powered engineering orders of magnitude easier and faster to get to.

We shared how pre-trained models can jumpstart your workflows, where they fit into a broader AI strategy, and how you can move from early wins to greater heights over time. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to scale AI in simulation, this session will give you a clear, actionable roadmap.

    “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.”
