Process automation
A workflow that connects 1D, 2D and 3D simulation and cost tools, rebuilds models automatically and evaluates every variant.
HEEDS overview
Simcenter HEEDS automates your existing CAD and CAE tools and searches the design space for the designs that meet your targets. You define the performance you want; HEEDS runs the variants, adapts its search as it learns, and shows which ones deliver.
Capabilities
Distributed execution
Runs on the computing you have, from workstations to clusters and cloud, with parallel workflows and flexible licensing.
Efficient search
The SHERPA engine adapts its strategy as it learns the design space, with no expert tuning.
Insight and discovery
Trade-off plots, sensitivity and robustness studies show which variables matter and which designs meet every target.
HEEDS POST
The post-processing and data-mining companion of HEEDS.
Benefits
Design Space Exploration
Hundreds of alternatives evaluated automatically.
Time and Cost Efficiency
Fewer runs, fewer prototypes, shorter development cycles.
Multidisciplinary Optimization
Structural, thermal, fluid and cost objectives balanced together.
Workflow Automation
Repeatable workflows replace manual data transfer between tools.

Frequently asked questions
What does HEEDS do?
It automates your existing simulation tools and searches the design space to find better designs, faster, with the SHERPA search method.
Which tools does it drive?
Siemens tools such as Designcenter NX, Simcenter 3D, Simcenter Amesim and Simcenter FLOEFD, plus Excel and other tools that can be scripted.
Do I need optimisation expertise?
No. SHERPA tunes itself; you define inputs, outputs and goals.
How much compute does it need?
It reuses your existing solver subscriptions and can distribute runs across a cluster or the cloud.
How do we make sense of thousands of design results?
HEEDS POST, the companion tool, organises the data into plots and tables, shows which parameters matter, and lets you export animations and reports for the design review.
