Built with NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo and seamlessly integrated into SimScale’s cloud platform with NVIDIA Blueprint, the model reinforces SimScale’s commitment to bringing Physics AI, Engineering AI, and cloud-native simulation into one platform. The combination of SimScale’s cloud simulation architecture, AI surrogate models, NVIDIA Warp and NVIDIA Omniverse for interactive visualization, and cutting edge NVIDIA Blackwell hardware allows engineers to discover optimal pump designs in seconds instead of days.

The physics-informed AI model, trained on thousands of validated simulations, enables engineers to optimize pump designs instantly, reduce computational costs, enhance accuracy and efficiency and scale globally via the cloud.

"This is a game-changer for engineering teams," said David Heiny, CEO of SimScale. "By combining SimScale’s cloud-native CAE platform with NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo, we’re focused on delivering ready-to-use AI models that eliminate simulation bottlenecks and unlock new levels of speed and efficiency for engineers.”

NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo, an advanced Physics AI framework, powers the AI-driven simulation by leveraging NVIDIA accelerated computing.

"AI and accelerated computing are transforming engineering design,” said Tim Costa, senior director of CAE and CUDA-X at NVIDIA. "With NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo and SimScale’s cloud-native approach, we’re bringing AI-driven predictive simulation directly to engineers, empowering them to innovate faster than ever.”

The AI model is now available to customers within SimScale’s global community of 600,000+ engineers.
