From Intent to Action: Agentic AI for Vehicle Dynamics in Modelon Impact
March 30, 2026
Artificial intelligence is already capable of turning engineering intent into executable models. The next step is putting that capability to work. Previously, we explored why equation-based, physics-driven modeling is uniquely suited for AI. Now, we move from capability to application. What happens when AI is not just generating models, but actively participating in engineering workflows? […]
From Intent to Insight: AI-Driven, Physics-Based Modeling with Modelica
March 18, 2026
Artificial intelligence is changing engineering workflows at a remarkable pace. But in the race to adopt AI, one question matters more than most: What kinds of engineering tools are actually ready for this new era? The answer may have less to do with flashy interfaces and more to do with something foundational: open, structured, machine-readable, […]
Off the Grid: Why F1’s Thermal Limits Demand Simulation Flexibility
February 25, 2026
In Formula 1, heat is the enemy of speed. As we approach the 2026 regulation changes, the most significant shift in powertrain architecture in a generation, the battle against that enemy is moving from the radiator shop to the simulation environment. For thermal engineers, F1 has always been a “proving ground”. But as we push […]
Data Center Compliance: How to Validate Cold Plate Liquid Cooling Against ASHRAE Guidelines Virtually
February 20, 2026
Today we are beyond the stage where liquid cooling is viewed as experimental, and it stands as a mainstream architectural choice for high density data centers. Cold plates, coolant distribution units (CDUs), rear door heat exchangers (RDHx), and even early two-phase systems are becoming standard topics of engineering conversations. Yet as more operators push beyond […]
Introducing Modelon Impact Code Studio
January 30, 2026
Modeling teams are moving faster than ever and your tools should keep up. Today, we’re introducing Modelon Impact Code Studio, a modern coding experience built for Modelica developers who want speed, clarity, and control. What is Modelon Impact Code Studio? The VS Code–powered development environment was released late last year and includes integrated Modelica language support […]
Digitally Engineering the Future of Data Centers
January 27, 2026
A Conversation with Simulation Pioneer Michael Wetter As data centers scale at an unprecedented pace—driven largely by AI, cloud services, and high-density computing—the industry is confronting a new level of complexity in energy demand, cooling strategies, and the need for near-perfect uptime. Few people understand this challenge better than Dr. Michael Wetter, a leading expert […]
An Introduction to the Fundamentals of HVAC System Simulation
January 16, 2026
In today’s world, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems play an essential role in maintaining comfortable and healthy indoor environments. From residential buildings to large commercial complexes, HVAC systems account for a significant share of building energy consumption. As a result, optimizing system design, control strategies, and operational performance are major priorities in the […]
Turning Frost into Warmth: A Data Center Holiday Story
December 16, 2025
As the year winds down, we found inspiration far from our usual engineering corridors in a quiet little town near the North Pole. It’s a place where winter never takes a break, where lights twinkle through long nights, and where warmth is more than comfort—it’s community. This year, our team imagined a story set there. […]

Simulating Thermal Fluids: Powering Innovation Through Virtual Design
November 12, 2025
Complexities of Thermal Fluids From power generation and HVAC systems to electric vehicles and data centers, thermal fluids are central to how energy moves and systems perform. Their behavior determines efficiency, reliability, and sustainability—but it’s far from simple to predict. Real-world thermal-fluid systems are inherently nonlinear and operated dynamically, with temperature, pressure, and flow intricately […]
