accelerates product development by automating simulation and analysis workflows, efficiently utilising available computational hardware and software resources, and systematically exploring the design space. It enables engineers to identify innovative, high-performance design concepts while ensuring that all performance requirements and constraints are met early in the development cycle. As part of the Siemens Simcenter portfolio, HEEDS is designed to integrate seamlessly with CAE tools and engineering environments.

Design Space Exploration

Simcenter HEEDS enables comprehensive design space exploration and optimisation by intelligently varying design parameters and configurations. Advanced search and optimisation strategies help engineers uncover optimal and non-intuitive solutions more efficiently, leading to improved product performance and robustness.


Time and Cost Efficiency

By automating simulation-driven design studies and applying powerful optimisation algorithms, Simcenter HEEDS significantly reduces development time and costs. Engineers can rapidly evaluate thousands of design alternatives, minimising the need for costly physical prototypes and late-stage design changes.

Multidisciplinary Optimisation

Simcenter HEEDS supports true multidisciplinary design optimisation by simultaneously accounting for multiple engineering domains—such as structural, thermal, electromagnetic, and fluid performance. This holistic approach ensures that trade-offs and interactions between disciplines are properly considered, resulting in more balanced and reliable designs.

Workflow Automation

Simcenter HEEDS automates repetitive and time-consuming tasks within the design and optimisation process, enabling streamlined and repeatable workflows. This automation improves productivity, supports faster and more confident decision-making, and allows engineers to focus on innovation rather than manual setup and execution.
