Simulation is critical to engineering decisions, yet in many organizations it remains siloed, expert-led, and hard to scale across product development. As product complexity rises and development cycles compress, the challenge is no longer access to simulation. It’s how engineering work is coordinated and decisions are made with confidence.

In this session, Jon Wilde, VP of Product at SimScale, introduces agentic engineering workflows: AI-driven systems that autonomously or semi-autonomously guide engineering tasks, automate simulation setup and handoffs, and scale expert methods across teams. Built on SimScale’s cloud-native platform and grounded in physics-based simulation, these workflows bring together Engineering AI and Physics AI to determine when simulation is required, select appropriate models, and learn from results, transforming simulation from a specialist bottleneck into a scalable, system-level capability.

Armin Narimanzadeh, Manager of Thermofluids & Simulations at Convion, then shows what this looks like in practice. Convion, a subsidiary of HD Hydrogen developing solid oxide fuel cell and electrolyzer systems for the hydrogen economy, used SimScale’s Physics AI to compress a design optimization cycle from months to under one hour. The team evaluated thousands of design variants and identified a non-intuitive geometry that halved physical volume while meeting all performance targets. Armin walks through the workflow and explains how a validated AI model is now deployed as a shared tool across Convion’s engineering organization.

Watch this practical, interactive session to see how agentic engineering works and what it means for your workflows.

    “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 automotive

    “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.”
