MSC SimManager 2025.1

MSC SimManager 2025.1

MSC SimManager 2025.1 is an enterprise-grade Simulation Process and Data Management (SPDM) solution from Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division. It is the central nervous system for CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) operations, designed to manage, automate, and trace the complex lifecycle of simulation data, processes, and results.

This platform is built for simulation managers, CAE analysts, chief engineers, and IT specialists in automotive, aerospace, heavy machinery, and energy sectors. It connects disparate tools, teams, and data, enabling a “Digital Thread” for simulation, driving faster, more reliable, and traceable product development decisions.

Key Features & Capabilities of Version 2025.1

The 2025.1 release focuses on enhanced scalability, user experience, and tighter integration within the Hexagon ecosystem and broader toolchains.

• Unified Simulation Data Repository: Securely store, version, and manage all CAE data (models, meshes, results, reports) in a centralized, searchable database. Maintain full audit trails and traceability for compliance (ISO 26262, ASPICE).

• Process Automation & Orchestration: Automate repetitive simulation workflows (pre-processing, solving, post-processing) across distributed HPC resources. Integrate with solvers like MSC Nastran, Adams, Marc, and third-party tools (Abaqus, ANSYS).

• Enhanced Web Client & User Experience: Intuitive, role-based web interface for all users, from analysts to program managers. Improved dashboarding, visualization of lightweight results, and reporting tools.

• Advanced Analytics & Dashboarding: Create custom dashboards and KPIs to monitor simulation throughput, resource utilization, and project status. Make data-driven decisions on program health.

• Scalable & Robust Architecture: Supports global, multi-site deployments with high availability. Enhanced performance for handling millions of simulation files and records.

• Tightened Ecosystem Integration: Deeper connectivity with MSC Apex, Cradle CFD, and Hexagon’s Atmosphere IoT platform. Expanded REST APIs for custom integration with PLM (Teamcenter, Windchill), ERP, and custom in-house tools.
