Futurities is the EnginSoft's SBE&S Magazine, the quarterly publication dedicated to bring you the latest news and developments in the numerical simulation world, paying attentions to the issues of reducing product development lead time, increasing the return on investment by using the latest and greatest CAE tools, and to original, "out-of-the-box" approaches to the problems of design and product development.
The magazine is intended to focus into a forward-looking instructive tool for knowledge transfer, seasoned with food for thought and reflection – in a nutshell to present the future of engineering simulation in all its facets and what will happen then.
The opening section is the Spotlight that will focus on an aspect of simulation, presenting leading edge approaches, techniques and technology developments. The content is then organized into several focused areas including Technology Transfer, that will feature technical or mathematical analyses of different engineering problems, as well as academic papers, Know-How, that will present industrial use cases describing the engineering challenge faced, the approach taken, and methodology used in resolving it, Research & Innovation, that will offer updates and insights from research projects, as well as providing a showcase for interesting innovative applications, Product Peeks, that will provide an overview of some of the latest software products on the market, and still more sections to come.
In this first release of Futurities 2025, the Spotlight shifts gears from the fantastical to the firmly tangible, exploring how virtual, augmented, and mixed realities—collectively known as XR—are making a serious impact beyond the realm of gaming. No longer just a novelty, these technologies are now powerful tools in the engineering and industrial sectors, streamlining design processes, enhancing data interaction, and refining business operations. With applications ranging from aerodynamic modelling to geospatial analysis and workflow optimization, XR is not just reshaping how we visualize the world—it’s redefining how we build it. Welcome to the era of Real Virtuality.
And don't forget to take a look at the other sections: we have selected some really interesting contributions.
