Romax 2026.2: A First Look at the Next Chapter in Drivetrain Simulation

Larger Models. Faster Insight. More Confident Decisions.

Engineering teams are being asked to do more and to do it faster. Electrification, increasing competition, and new market entrants are raising the pressure to deliver innovative products quickly and efficiently. Simulation now appears earlier and more often during development. It helps teams cut development time, minimize physical testing, and make design decisions with more confidence.

That shift asks a lot of the models themselves. They need greater predictive accuracy and the ability to assess more manufacturing, assembly, and operating conditions than ever before. The Romax transformation program will deliver the scalability, performance, and modeling fidelity needed to analyze larger design spaces, capture more real-world variability, and support confident engineering decisions earlier in development.

Romax 2026.2 is a major step toward that next generation of simulation-driven development. It brings three changes that work together to help engineers analyze larger and more complex models, gain insights sooner, and trust what the results tell them.

A Completely New Static Analysis Engine

Larger and more demanding models call for an analysis engine that can scale with them. Static analysis (second gen) is a completely new engine designed to improve both scalability and performance, so the models you want to build are the models you can run.

A Fresh Take on NVH Insight

The new vibration post-processor (2nd Gen) is a reimagined implementation of technology engineers already trust. It pairs a new calculation engine with easy-to-interpret visualizations and workflows designed to help even non-specialists find the information they need.

Here is the part we think you'll like. The proven, trusted results engineers have relied on for years are preserved. What changes is how quickly you get to them. Fast calculations and responsive visualization shorten the path from simulation to insight, and the new foundation sets the stage for future NVH developments.

Machine Learning, Built Into Your Design Exploration

ODYSSEE brings embedded machine learning into Romax. Its integration accelerates design exploration within parametric studies and supports faster engineering decisions. The question shifts from "How many alternatives can we afford to explore?" to "What else could we try?"
