SIMULIA Simpack: Virtual Twin Technology Software Boosts Rail Freight Safety and Reliability

Managing railway wagon safety and reliability over long distances is challenging with traditional physical testing and mathematical methods, especially as freight volumes, train lengths and speeds increase. Mechanical failures and track-related incidents heighten risks, while rail freight operators must also meet strict safety regulations and sustainability standards. Current testing methods are costly, labor-intensive, and lack the precision and sophistication of advanced industrial simulation software, such as SIMULIA Simpack, the current market leader in the rail industry. This article explains the issue-solving solutions that SIMULIA has available in its portfolio.
