BELLEVUE, WA, Apr 7, 2025 – As simulation cycle times become mandatory for cutting hardware prototypes and reducing costs, mechanical engineers can use Simerics-MP/MP+ as an embedded CAD solution.
Simerics used Tech Soft 3D toolkits to reduce development time while ensuring a streamlined process for preparing and editing CAD models. HOOPS Exchange offers support for 30+ formats and includes an integration with Siemens Parasolid. By licensing both features into their core products, Simerics streamlined CAD model preparation and editing. From this foundation, Simerics-CAD allows users to streamline the design and testing process into one efficient workflow. Combining modeling and testing into a single cycle allows Simerics-CAD to reduce user steps, save time, and improve outcomes within a single product.
Through their partnership, Simerics, Inc. and Tech Soft 3D have empowered users to reduce the time and cost associated with CFD simulation for improved design performance.
Commenting on the software, Ron Fritz, CEO of Tech Soft 3D, said, “The Simerics team outdid themselves developing Simerics-CAD for customers to use on-premise or in the cloud. It is rare that you have the same inviting user experience for both platforms with full functionality. We’re proud Simerics selected our team for this important application and strategic partnership, and we look forward to a long-term partnership with Simerics and success with Simerics-CAD.”
“Through the dedicated collaboration of both parties, Simerics-CAD was developed in a fraction of the time to become a simple yet powerful software solution to address the increasingly important CFD design process.”
Rich Moore, executive vice president of Strategy, OEMs, and partners at Simerics, said, “Our strategic partnership with Tech Soft 3D has enabled the development and offering of a comprehensive simulation CAD solution at half the price of multi-software workflows in today’s simulation software market. With Tech Soft 3D, we are bringing an entirely streamlined workflow to simulation with both modeling and CAD exchange domain expertise and CFD domain expertise in one affordable solution. We know that the use of modern CFD deserves a better workflow from leaders that understand the problems and excessive costs of traditional CFD workflows.”
The global collaboration offers Simerics’ latest tools, delivering cost-effective, user-friendly, and precise solutions for simulation. Mechanical engineers can access advanced CFD through Simerics-CAD, enabling digital prototyping early in design stage, throughout R&D, and across organization.
