CADFEM Journal highlights advancements in digital engineering and simulation

The latest edition of the CADFEM Journal highlights the diverse applications of simulation and digital engineering across various industries. A primary feature focuses on Krones AG, which utilized NVIDIA Omniverse to revolutionize beverage production. This implementation, which integrates simulation, AI, visualization, and automation into a unified digital environment, earned the company the Microsoft Intelligent Manufacturing Award 2026. Notably, the technology reduced the time required for simulating filling and splashing processes from several hours to just minutes.

Other featured topics include the development of low-reflection black coating materials, solutions for space debris removal, and the long-term use of simulation by the chemical fiber manufacturer Barmag. The journal also examines the use of digital twins in Kraftblock’s ‘Heat-as-a-Service’ business model and discusses CADFEM’s expansion activities in Southeast Asia.
