With rail freight traffic projected to reach 13,800 trains daily by 2050, operators face the urgent need for sustainable operations in a competitive landscape (1). Advanced simulation technology provides real-time insights for safe, reliable and efficient rail operations of tomorrow.
How Today's Rail Operations Will Meet Tomorrow's Demands
High Precision Solutions with Simulation-Driven Testing
The game changer for rail operations is simultaneously combining rail freight aerodynamics and vehicle dynamic simulations into a single 3DEXPERIENCE® platform. This is made possible through solutions like the SIMULIA Simpack Rail Modules for multibody system simulation of rail-guided systems and PowerFLOW for aerodynamic flow simulations, which go beyond traditional testing methods, offering digital 3D models that shed light on the most intricate operational challenges.
Our gated ebook, Beyond the Rails: Simulation Strategies That Work, transforms how safety and reliability are managed across the railway system to:
