Modelon’s enhanced AI Assistant now helps engineers analyze models, launch simulations, and accelerate engineering workflows directly within the Modelon Impact platform. ▶️ Watch how it works! When we introduced the AI Assistant in Modelon Impact, the goal was simple: help engineers get answers faster, troubleshoot issues more easily, and reduce the friction that often slows […]
Why CFD is the Wrong Tool for the Next Generation of Liquid-Cooled AI Data Centers
June 23, 2026
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been the workhorse of data center thermal design for two decades. For the AI data centers now coming online, it is the wrong tool. That is not an indictment of CFD; it remains a powerful, mature technology. It is a consequence of how radically the cooling problem has changed. The […]
From Spec to Simulation: An AI Agent Builds a Data Center Cooling Model
June 10, 2026
Start from a vendor PDF. End with a validated, simulation-ready Modelica model in a single working session. No manual coding at any step. That is the capability we want to show in this post, and it is a current capability, not a future one. Data center infrastructure is changing fast. AI compute is pushing facilities […]
The Token Economics of Engineering AI
June 4, 2026
A Question Worth Putting Numbers On Engineering AI workflows incur cost in how they acquire knowledge during a session. In 5 Questions to Ask Before Trusting AI-Related Simulation Results, the fourth question was: Does the AI spend its effort on engineering or on infrastructure? It is the most consequential of the five, and the hardest […]
Accelerating Simulation with Machine Learning: Lessons from a Vehicle Dynamics Thesis
May 28, 2026
Key Takeaways for Engineers and Engineering Leaders Why Simulation Teams Are Looking to Machine Learning Engineering teams today are balancing two competing demands: increasing system complexity and shrinking development timelines. High-fidelity simulation remains essential for accuracy and confidence, but its computational cost can slow iteration, limit design exploration, and delay critical decisions. At Modelon, this […]
Why Two‑Phase Direct‑to‑Chip Cooling is Reaching a Tipping Point
May 19, 2026
Modelon & University of Maryland Researchers to Present Findings at Upcoming Conference Artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC) are fundamentally reshaping the way data centers are designed. Power densities continue to rise, thermal margins are tightening, and workloads are becoming more dynamic and less predictable. HGX H100 racks introduced in 2022 consumed around 40–60 kW, […]
How to Do Weather File Sweeps in Modelon Impact
May 12, 2026
A customer told us something recently that stuck with me. They were evaluating how a data center design would perform across climates. Hot and humid. Cold and dry. Different cities, different weather years. The kind of analysis you have to do if uptime, efficiency, and resilience matter. Technically, they were getting it done. Practically, it […]
AI Liquid Cooling at System Scale
April 29, 2026
A recent presentation at Data Center World highlights how system simulation is becoming a critical capability for designing, procuring, and operating AI data centers. AI has been embedded in digital infrastructure for years, quietly powering services like recommendation engines, security systems, and automation. What changed in late 2022 was accessibility. With the rise of generative […]
Engineering AI that Supports Real Decisions
April 23, 2026
Executive Summary Engineering teams rarely struggle because they lack possible answers. They struggle because getting from a question to a trustworthy answer takes work: choosing the right model, deciding which assumptions are acceptable, configuring a study that can actually run, understanding why a run failed, and turning results into something that supports a real decision. […]
