# Siemens Simcenter

*/Products/Siemens_Simcenter*

## Product Profile

**How It Flows**: Simcenter is delivered as a suite of desktop applications and cloud services operated directly by engineering teams. It ingests 3D CAD models and material specifications from PLM systems to compute and render physical simulations and test data.
**Operated By**:
- [Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) Analysts](/Products/Siemens_Simcenter/Occupations/Computer-Aided_Engineering_(CAE)_Analysts)
- [Mechanical Engineers](/Products/Siemens_Simcenter/Occupations/Mechanical_Engineers)
- [Systems Engineers](/Products/Siemens_Simcenter/Occupations/Systems_Engineers)
- [Aerodynamics Engineers](/Products/Siemens_Simcenter/Occupations/Aerodynamics_Engineers)
- [Structural Engineers](/Products/Siemens_Simcenter/Occupations/Structural_Engineers)
**What It Does**: Siemens Simcenter models and simulates the physical behavior of product designs across mechanical, thermal, fluid, and electromagnetic domains. It generates performance data and validation reports to test designs prior to physical manufacturing.
**Primary Buyers**:
- [Automotive manufacturers](/Products/Siemens_Simcenter/Customers/Automotive_manufacturers)
- [Aerospace and defense contractors](/Products/Siemens_Simcenter/Customers/Aerospace_and_defense_contractors)
