ODYSSEE CAE 2026.2: Faster Predictive Engineering with AI and ROM

Engineering organizations generate vast amounts of simulation and test data. Yet turning that data into fast, actionable insights remains a challenge. Traditional simulation workflows often require significant compute resources and long turnaround times, making it difficult to explore design alternatives quickly.

This is where ODYSSEE CAE helps.

ODYSSEE CAE is an AI-powered Reduced Order Modeling (ROM), optimization, and data analytics platform that transforms simulation and test data into predictive models. Engineers can use these models to perform real-time analyses, explore design alternatives, optimize designs, and understand parameter sensitivities without running full simulations for every scenario.

From Simulation Data to Engineering Intelligence

Modern engineering teams need faster ways to evaluate performance, validate designs, and make informed decisions. By combining machine learning, reduced-order modeling, and optimization technologies, ODYSSEE CAE enables engineers to predict system behavior in seconds rather than hours or days. This allows teams to evaluate more design options, identify optimal solutions earlier, and reduce development costs.

ODYSSEE CAE supports a wide range of engineering workflows, including:

• Real-time predictive modeling
• Design optimization
• Sensitivity analysis
• Statistical evaluation
• Uncertainty studies
• Animation prediction
• Automated simulation workflows

What's New in ODYSSEE CAE 2026.2

Building on its predictive engineering capabilities, ODYSSEE CAE 2026.2 introduces several significant enhancements focused on simulation efficiency, workflow automation, and advanced modeling capabilities.

Free Mesh Animation

The new Free Mesh workflow extends animation prediction capabilities to models with varying geometries and mesh topologies. Engineers can now create predictive animation models for more complex simulation datasets through a dedicated workflow designed specifically for Free Mesh applications.

GPU Acceleration

A dedicated CUDA-enabled version of ODYSSEE CAE is now available, allowing users to leverage GPU computing for accelerated Free Mesh prediction workflows. This enhancement helps reduce computation times for demanding engineering studies.

Integrated Adaptive Sampling

Adaptive Sampling is now directly integrated into the ODYSSEE CAE interface. The technology automatically identifies the most valuable new simulation points to improve model accuracy and database quality, helping engineers build better predictive models while minimizing unnecessary simulation runs.

Automated Simulation Workflows

Nastran and LS-DYNA parser execution can now be automated from the command line using JSON-based configurations. This capability simplifies batch processing and enables seamless integration into existing simulation automation workflows.

Enhanced Optimization

Optimization workflows have been improved with support for starting from the "Optimal of DOE" point and defining constraints directly on design variables. These enhancements provide greater flexibility when solving both single-objective and multi-objective optimization problems.

Accelerating Digital Engineering

As engineering systems become more complex, organizations need tools that help transform simulation and test data into actionable knowledge. ODYSSEE CAE combines predictive modeling, optimization, and data analytics in a single platform, enabling engineers to explore more possibilities, make faster decisions, and improve product development efficiency.

Whether the goal is to build predictive models, automate simulation workflows, optimize product performance, or gain deeper insight into engineering data, ODYSSEE CAE provides a scalable foundation for AI-driven engineering.
