Siemens Digital Industries Software today announced that it has collaborated with NVIDIA to open the door to a new era of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. Part of the Xcelerator portfolio of software and services, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2022.1 software brings CUDA-enabled GPU acceleration to deliver faster turnaround times at lower hardware investment costs to CFD simulation within design and engineering organizations of every size.

Comprehensive optimization using machine learning and advanced simulation to speed achieving design and engineering goals. Delivers over 1,200 customer enhancement requests putting breakthrough technologies into the hands of engineers and designers, enabling innovation at greater speed.

Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced that Pearl Semiconductor, a fabless semiconductor company specializing in high-performance timing products, used Siemens‘ Symphony Mixed-Signal Platform for developing and verifying its newest ultra-low noise digital phased locked loop (PLL) design, which targets a range of demanding applications such as high-speed connectivity, high bandwidth video broadcasting and 5G infrastructure markets.

The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has moved forward with its policy of using clean energy and reducing carbon dioxide emissions with smart technology by deploying Siemens' SICAM Microgrid Control and Photovoltaic Plant Control to balance the energy mix generated by the world's largest Hydro-Floating Solar Hybrid Project at Sirindhorn Dam, Ubon Ratchathani Province.

DB Cargo AG and DB Bahnbaugruppe GmbH have together ordered a total of 50 locomotives from Siemens Mobility. The Vectron Dual Mode locomotives will be delivered with specific adaptations for the planned range of service with DB Cargo and the DB Bahnbau Group. The locomotives can be operated with either diesel or electricity.

Innovative digital passenger information and guidance system. Screens inside the car above each train door display provide passengers with real-time information about further routes and connections at the next station.

Among the new capabilities, Simcenter 3D offers increased support for turbomachinery modeling, a dedicated drop test application for handheld devices, tightly integrated topology optimization with the NX Design environment, and a new acoustic solution method that is up to 10 times faster than standard methods.

Siemens today announced that Airbus, a leading aircraft manufacturer, has selected Capital electrical/electronic (E/E) systems development software from Siemens‘ Xcelerator portfolio to accelerate the development of commercial aircraft.

Railpool, one of the leading rail vehicle rental companies in Europe, and Siemens Mobility signed a framework agreement at the turn of the year for the delivery of 100 locomotives. Framework agreement for 100 Vectron locomotives for maximum operational flexibility.

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has added two new variants of KNX binary inputs to its portfolio of DIN-rail mounted devices: The new binary inputs N 262 and N 263 offer easy installation and intuitive operation and are available as potential-free and voltage-loaded versions in widths of 4 MU (4 binary inputs) and 8 MU (8 binary inputs).
