Simerics and Tech Soft 3D Announce Simerics-CAD Software

Simerics-CAD enables Simulation Analysts to use integrated CAD for high-end Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) preprocessing, model setup, boundary condition assignments, and more in an integrated user experience that utilizes both Simerics-MP/MP+ and Tech Soft 3D components.

Press Release, March 31, 2025

Bellevue – As simulation cycle times become essential to reducing the number of hardware prototypes and overall operating costs, mechanical engineers will find the embedded CAD solution they need in Simerics-MP/MP+.

Simerics leveraged Tech Soft 3D toolkits to save development time while providing a quality experience in preparing and editing CAD models. HOOPS Exchange offers support for 30+ of the most popular formats and includes a powerful integration with the world’s leading modeling kernel, Siemens Parasolid. By licensing both in their core products, Simerics was able to provide an unsurpassed user experience for preparing and editing CAD models.

From this foundation, Simerics-CAD offers users the ability to streamline the design and testing process into one efficient workflow. By combining modeling and testing into a single cycle, Simerics-CAD reduces user steps, saves time, and improves outcomes within a single product.

Through their partnership, Simerics, Inc. and Tech Soft 3D have empowered users to significantly reduce the time and cost associated with CFD simulation for improved design performance.

“The Simerics team outdid themselves developing Simerics-CAD for customers to use on-premise or in the cloud. It is rare that you have the same inviting user experience for both platforms with full functionality. We’re proud Simerics selected our team for this important application and strategic partnership, and we look forward to a long-term partnership with Simerics and success with Simerics-CAD.”

“Through the dedicated collaboration of both parties, Simerics-CAD was developed in a fraction of the time, to become a simple yet powerful software solution to address the increasingly important CFD design process.” Ron Fritz, CEO of Tech Soft 3D.

“Our strategic partnership with Tech Soft 3D has enabled the development and offering of a comprehensive simulation CAD solution at half the price of multi-software workflows in today’s simulation software market. With Tech Soft 3D, we are bringing an entirely streamlined workflow to simulation with both modeling and CAD exchange domain expertise and CFD domain expertise in one affordable solution. We know that the use of modern CFD deserves a better workflow from leaders that understand the problems and excessive costs of traditional CFD workflows”. Rich Moore, Executive Vice President of Strategy, OEMs, and Partners at Simerics.

The global partnership provides the latest capabilities from Simerics providing the simulation industry with unmatched affordability, usability, and accuracy. Mechanical engineers have immediate access to powerful CFD through Simerics-CAD for digital prototyping early in the design stage, throughout the entire R&D cycle, and across the entire enterprise.
