New AI Assistant in Modelon Impact
April 21, 2026
Modelon’s new AI Assistant helps engineers get started faster, troubleshoot more easily, and move through simulation work with greater confidence. Simulation software has long asked users to do a lot of the heavy lifting themselves. Setting up models, working through errors, and finding the right next step often takes time, experience, and access to the […]
5 Questions to Ask Before Trusting AI-Related Simulation Results
April 16, 2026
AI can now generate simulation models from natural language prompts. It can derive equations, write code, configure experiments, and produce results. For engineers evaluating these capabilities, the interesting question is no longer, “Can AI do it?” It almost always can. The harder question is: “Should I trust the result enough to make a decision?” That […]
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 […]
Engineering Innovation at F1 Speed: Modelon’s Lights Out Sprint Hackathon
February 16, 2026
At Modelon, innovation doesn’t just happen in long cycles—it thrives in short, intense bursts of creativity. Last week, our India office turned an ordinary afternoon into a high energy, 120-minute Lights Out Sprint Hackathon, inspired by the precision and speed of an F1 pit stop. Three cross-functional teams spanning product development, quality engineering, customer success, […]
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 […]
