In addition to Simcenter Amesim, surrounding software applications allow engineers to fully manage models in their daily work. They address different kinds of users (end-users, experts, …) and they facilitate the exchange of models between departments within companies, as well as exchange of models between OEMs and Suppliers with IP protection.
Simcenter Amesim™ software is constituted of various applications:
| Overview | |
|---|---|
| Simcenter Amesim (main application) | |
| Simcenter Amesim Run (run-only version) | |
| Component Customization (customization and encryption) | |
| Submodel Editor (development of submodels) |
For example, the user can program his own specific submodels in C with Submodel Editor, or assemble different standard submodels to create supercomponents to be customized with Component Customization. The final and validated Simcenter Amesim models can be exchanged with Third-parties to be run with Simcenter Amesim Run (run-only version of Simcenter Amesim).
Details on the Simcenter Amesim™ software applications are given in Simcenter Amesim.
