Model the complexity
Validated multi-physics libraries take a system from initial sizing to full integration.
Simcenter Amesim
System simulation for complete mechatronic systems, before hardware exists.
Simcenter Amesim overview
Simcenter Amesim is Siemens' system simulation platform. It builds a virtual prototype of a complete mechatronic system from validated multi-physics libraries for hydraulics, pneumatics, thermal, electrical and mechanical domains, and connects to Simulink, FMI-based tools and the rest of Simcenter.
Capabilities
Explore the possibilities
Simulations that scale from basic to advanced, with exploration and post-processing tools to find the best configuration.
Stay integrated
Standard interfaces to Simulink, FMI and the rest of the Simcenter portfolio.
Go faster
Industry-specific solutions, ready-to-use examples and demo models.
Simcenter Tire
Tyre models for vehicle dynamics, used with Simcenter Amesim and every major vehicle simulation package.
Benefits
Boost system simulation productivity
Ready-made industry solutions shorten first model to answer.
Manage the complexity
The whole system modelled, not one subsystem at a time.
Integrated
Fits the toolchain you already use.
Find errors when they are cheap to fix
Defects identified at the concept stage are easier to solve and have far less impact on schedule and cost than problems found after hardware exists.
Share across the team
Models are shared with the whole engineering team, so decisions are made on the same virtual prototype and products reach the market sooner.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of models does Simcenter Amesim build?
System models of hydraulics, pneumatics, thermal, electrical and mechanical components, sized and simulated before hardware exists.
How is it different from 3D CFD or FEA?
Amesim works at system level with validated component libraries, so a full machine or vehicle simulates in seconds rather than hours.
Can it connect to control software?
Yes. Amesim exports models to Simulink, FMI and real-time platforms for controls testing and hardware in the loop.
Which industries use it locally?
Automotive, aerospace, oil and gas, energy and industrial machinery across the Middle East.
When should we start system simulation?
At the concept stage, before hardware exists. That is when design decisions are cheapest to change and when Simcenter Amesim adds the most value.
Is Simcenter Amesim hard to learn?
Validated model libraries, ready-to-use examples and productivity shortcuts make it approachable, and NomuTech training gets engineers building useful models quickly.
Do you have tyre models for vehicle dynamics?
Yes. Simcenter Tire provides MF-Tyre and MF-Swift, the standard Magic Formula tyre models, for use with Simcenter Amesim and other vehicle simulation tools.
