Unlock the Power of Siemens PLM Software for Your Space Projects
Siemens PLM software offers a robust, integrated suite of tools designed to improve collaboration, accelerate innovation, and ensure mission success. Here’s how it can transform your space projects:
End-to-End Product Lifecycle Management
From concept to launch, Siemens PLM software provides a seamless workflow to manage the entire lifecycle of your space systems. Ensure that all teams are aligned, and easily track design, development, testing, and production processes.
Digital Twin Technology
Utilise Digital Twin technology to create an accurate virtual representation of your spacecraft or satellite. This allows you to monitor performance, predict potential issues, and optimise systems both before and after launch, improving reliability and reducing downtime.
Collaborative Engineering
Break down silos and foster collaboration across globally dispersed teams. Our solutions provide a unified platform for engineers, manufacturers, and stakeholders to work together seamlessly, ensuring faster innovation cycles and a streamlined development process.
Advanced 3D Modeling and Simulation
Design and simulate spacecraft systems, components, and environments with advanced 3D modeling tools. Siemens PLM enables you to virtually test the performance and durability of designs under real-world space conditions—reducing costly prototyping and risk.
Compliance and Safety Assurance
In the highly regulated space industry, compliance is key. Our software ensures that your designs meet stringent space standards and regulations, while maintaining traceability and safety throughout the development process.
Reporting and Analytics
​
Customised dashboards provide space companies with greater visibility as well as a new level of traceability that reduces errors and prevents the late discovery of issues.
Model Based Systems Engineering for Aerospace & Defense
Model-based systems engineering, MBSE, brings a new level of integration and efficiency to complex systems and processes across the many multi-domain challenges aerospace manufacturers face today. MBSE orchestrates the entire technical program by finding the optimal solution through multi-disciplinary optimisation. Fly your designs before you build them!
Additive Design & Manufacturing
AM is rapidly revolutionising the space sector, and is transforming how products are designed, manufactured, and supplied. It enables companies to reshape everything for optimal performance at reduced cost, in comparison to traditional manufacturing methods that require multiple steps, tools, and treatments to achieve the desired outcome. Our integrated software applications for additive manufacturing help you reimagine products, retool manufacturing, and rethink business models.
​
IP Protection & Export Control
One of the key challenges facing highly regulated industries such as Space is difficulty in achieving program goals while navigating the global IP and export control (ITAR) regulatory environment. Another challenge is enabling global collaboration and innovation.
​
Siemens Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology allows sensitive company IP data to be protected when downloaded and shared outside, providing document-level access and usage controls (rights) applied directly to documents. These controls persist, no matter where the documents are downloaded, uploaded, shared, or consumed, both inside and outside of the organisation. Rights can be highly detailed and configurable in order to precisely control access and usage scenarios.
Product Design for Space Suppliers
Given the number of companies involved in Space programs (OEMs and many tiers of suppliers), the multi-disciplinary nature of the projects (requiring mechanical, electrical and software design), and the need for efficient information exchange, it is essential that companies can work with many different CAD formats. Our broad selection of data exchange tools supports vendor-neutral standard exchange formats, data translators, and CAD file conversion tools to accurately move data between systems.
Thermal analysis and simulation
Use comprehensive thermal simulation capabilities to help you understand thermal characteristics in order to customize your thermal management solution.
​
NX, Amesim and Simcenter provide a comprehensive set of tools to perform orbital thermal analysis integrated into your design and engineering process. It allows you to maximize efficiency with an automated solution that carries out the thermal analysis in a single pass. Simcenter helps resolve engineering challenges early in the design process and is a valuable tool for predicting and understanding thermal physics for space-bound, orbiting and interplanetary vehicles.
Space Systems Composites
Space systems suppliers must have confidence in their composite designs because there are no second chances. They need a composite design, manufacturing and inspection solution that enables their space systems to meet requirements for schedule, strength, weight, durability and manufacturing for the most challenging space applications.
​
Siemens space systems composite engineering design and manufacturing solution supports the end-to-end design of components and structures through a complete digital twin and a digital thread, enabling complete connectivity of information through design, analysis, manufacturing, and inspection.
Launch before you build it!
With an integrated model, space craft architects can work in a collaborative system simulation environment and check the impact of system architecture choices on a total system level.

The SpaceDot team has been working on a multidisciplinary project for several years that requires advanced simulation. They used Simcenter 3D software modeling tools and Simcenter NASTRAN software to address some of their structural simulation challenges. Using Simcenter 3D helped them reduce the time required to prepare a simulation. Using Simcenter NASTRAN solver helped them minimize the required run time compared to the software they used prior to Simcenter.
