Fully exploiting the potentials of the digital twin with simulation
Combine simulation and the digital twin alone the entire value chain to test and optimize machines, production cells, and production lines in virtual environments before you build and use them in the real world.Simulation that’s seamlessly integrated in automation
Siemens’ simulation for automation is your ideal gateway to the digital transformation. Thanks to this modular portfolio, companies can approach simulation step by step, focus on the areas that are most important for them, and benefit right from the start. Simulation provides the optimal basis for cross-discipline cooperation between mechanical, electrical, and automation engineering. Seamless integration of the hardware and software offering from the Digital Enterprise portfolio, openness, and the ongoing addition of new functions guarantee an investment that will remain viable into the future. With our comprehensive digitalization approach and service concept, we support you throughout the entire transformation process.

Validate machine design and kinematics with Mike the mechanic
Are you serious? An additional sensor? The machine design was already finished – but that's no problem for mechanical engineer Mike! Machine design & kinematics are quickly validated – without building a real prototype! Find out how Michael does it.
Concrete benefits on all levels
Whether it’s on the machine, cell, line, or factory level, simulation for automation lets you exploit the benefits of simulation. Find out how the Digital Enterprise portfolio can help you meet typical challenges on the basis of selected applications.
