Nvidia says CAE vendors accelerating simulation tools up to 50x with Blackwell

Nvidia (NVDA) announced that major computer-aided engineering software vendors, including Ansys (ANSS), Altair (ALTR), Cadence (CDNS), Siemens (SIEGY) and Synopsys (SNPS), are accelerating their simulation tools by up to 50x with the NVIDIA Blackwell platform. With such accelerated software, along with NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries and blueprints to further optimize performance, industries such as automotive, aerospace, energy, manufacturing and life sciences can significantly reduce product development time, cut costs and increase design accuracy while maintaining energy efficiency. “CUDA-accelerated physical simulation on NVIDIA Blackwell has enhanced real-time digital twins and is reimagining the entire engineering process,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “The day is coming when virtually all products will be created and brought to life as a digital twin long before it is realized physically.”
