Leading Software Providers Including Ansys, Altair, Cadence, Siemens and Synopsys Adopt NVIDIA BlackwellSAN JOSE, Calif., March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GTC — NVIDIA today announced that leading computer-aided engineering (CAE) software vendors, including Ansys, Altair, Cadence , Siemens and Synopsys , 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.”Ecosystem Support for NVIDIA BlackwellSoftware providers can help their customers develop digital twins with real-time interactivity and now accelerate them with NVIDIA Blackwell technologies.The growing ecosystem integrating Blackwell into its software includes Altair, Ansys, BeyondMath, Cadence, COMSOL, ENGYS, Flexcompute, Hexagon, Luminary Cloud , M-Star, NAVASTO, an Autodesk company, Neural Concept, nTop, Rescale, Siemens, Simscale, Synopsys and Volcano Platforms.Cadence is using NVIDIA Grace Blackwell-accelerated systems to help solve one of computational fluid dynamics’ biggest challenges — the simulation of an entire aircraft during takeoff and landing. Using the Cadence Fidelity CFD solver, Cadence successfully ran multibillion cell simulations on a single NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 server in under 24 hours, which would have previously required a CPU cluster with hundreds of thousands of cores and several days to complete.This breakthrough will help the aerospace industry move toward designing safer, more efficient aircrafts while reducing the amount of expensive wind-tunnel testing required, speeding time to market.Anirudh Devgan, president and CEO of Cadence, said, “NVIDIA Blackwell’s acceleration of the Cadence.AI portfolio delivers increased productivity and quality of results for intelligent system design — reducing engineering tasks that took hours to minutes and unlocking simulations not possible before. Our collaboration with NVIDIA drives innovation across semiconductors, data centers, physical AI and sciences.”Sassine Ghazi, president and CEO of Synopsys, said, “At GTC, we’re unveiling the latest performance results observed across our leading portfolio when optimizing Synopsys solutions for NVIDIA Blackwell to accelerate computationally intensive chip design workflows. Synopsys technology is mission-critical to the productivity and capabilities of engineering teams, from silicon to systems. By harnessing the power of NVIDIA accelerated computing, we can help customers unlock new levels of performance and deliver their innovations even faster.”Ajei Gopal, president and CEO of Ansys, said, “The close collaboration between Ansys and NVIDIA is accelerating innovation at an unprecedented pace
The Radian One comes as BOOM Supersonic is developing its Overture airliner, an aircraft described as the 'son of Concorde.'
Specialized photography from NASA shows the shock waves as Boom's supersonicdemonstrator breaks the sound barrierBoom confirms no sonic boom reached the ground during XB-1 demonstrator'ssupersonic flightsMOJAVE, Calif. and DENVER, March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Boom Supersonic, the company building the world's fastest airliner, Overture, partnered with NASA to capture specialized photography during supersonic flight tests of its demonstrator aircraft, XB-1. During XB-1's second supersonic flight on February 10, 2025, NASA teams on the ground used Schlieren photography, a technique to visualize the shock waves resulting from XB-1 pushing through the air at supersonic speeds. In January, XB-1 became the first independently developed jet to fly faster than the speed of sound, and the first civil supersonic jet built in America
Boom Supersonic recently partnered with NASA to capture specialized photography during supersonic flight tests of its demonstrator aircraft, XB-1.
This will be a vital regulatory step for companies such as Boom, which is developing a commercial supersonic passenger aircraft.
