Better Engineering Starts with Better Simulation
Understand, predict, and solve complex performance problems
with Siemens FEM and CFD Software.
As a center for federal research, defense contracting, and complex systems engineering, the Washington, DC region plays a critical role in advancing national technology initiatives. SDA Software partners with engineering teams across the capital region to apply Siemens simulation tools to high-stakes challenges in aerospace, defense, energy, and infrastructure.
One Simulation Strategy. Two Powerful Technologies.
Simulate real-world conditions before the first prototype. SDA Software connects engineers with industry-proven Siemens FEM software and CFD software for structural, fluid, and multiphysics challenges.
Solving the Right Problem-Not Just Building the Right Model
Simulation isn’t just about building models; it’s about building confidence in your design. Engineering projects fail when the wrong questions get answered or when simulation results don’t reflect real-world performance.
At SDA Software, we help engineers combine the strengths of FEM software for structural and thermal modeling with CFD software for fluid and heat transfer analysis. Based in the Washington, D.C. metro area—one of the country’s most active engineering hubs—we work closely with aerospace, defense, energy, and systems engineering teams that face high-stakes, real-world design challenges.
Siemens simulation tools enable these teams to model structural, thermal, and fluid behavior together, eliminating disconnects between simulations and physical results. The result: fewer prototypes, faster iteration, and stronger engineering decisions.
Simcenter Femap – Structural Simulation Simplified
Simcenter Femap gives engineers full control over finite element modeling with an intuitive, mesh-centric interface and broad solver support. Whether you’re starting from CAD geometry or building models from scratch, Femap helps you set up and refine your simulation quickly and reliably. Import geometry from major CAD tools, edit and idealize geometry with built-in tools, and generate high-quality meshes with real-time feedback—all in one efficient workflow.
Use it to model everything from simple components to complex assemblies and trust your results with accurate finite element analysis software trusted by engineers worldwide. Download this Ebook and learn more.
Simcenter Femap – Thermal & Dynamic Modeling
When you need more than static analysis, Simcenter Femap delivers. Model dynamic response, evaluate thermal stresses, and perform vibration and fatigue studies—all from the same platform. Femap’s integrated tools let you simulate complex loading, time-dependent heat transfer, and structural dynamics without switching software.
With support for advanced materials, contact modeling, and nonlinear behavior, this is the FEA software that scales with your engineering challenges. Evaluate real-world behavior before building a single prototype.
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ – CFD for Real-World Engineering
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is a complete CFD computational fluid dynamics software platform that enables engineers to simulate fluids, heat transfer, and multiphase interactions under real operating conditions. From laminar and turbulent flow to reacting gases and rotating machinery, STAR-CCM+ handles it all—efficiently and accurately.
Go beyond flow visualization and dive into full multiphysics modeling. Whether you’re analyzing under hood airflow, electronics cooling, or marine drag, this CFD software gives you the tools to solve real design problems with confidence.

Simcenter STAR-CCM+ – Fluid-Structure Interaction
Today’s products don’t operate in isolation. STAR-CCM+ allows you to simulate complex fluid-structure interactions (FSI) where thermal, fluid, and mechanical loads affect one another. From rotating blades to moving pistons, this CFD fluid dynamics software supports 6-DOF motion, overset meshes, and real-time feedback between components.
Engineers can simulate thermal stresses, cooling system performance, or flow-induced vibration all within one unified CFD software environment. Reduce design cycles and prototype costs by solving multiple physics problems at once.
