CADFEM India Collaborates with IIT Roorkee to Establish a Digital Twin Lab for Enhanced Simulation Technology Innovation
CADFEM India Pvt. Ltd. has partnered with the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT-R) to establish one of India's most advanced Digital Twin Simulation Labs. This collaboration aims to integrate advanced simulation workflows into the institute's curriculum and labs, making a new generation of engineers industry-ready and innovation-driven.
The partnership accelerates the adoption of Digital Twin technologies in academia, setting a new benchmark for how institutions can bridge education and industry. IIT Roorkee will gain access to Ansys' state-of-the-art Digital Twin, CFD, FEM, and Electromagnetics simulation solutions, enabling researchers and scholars to co-author scientific publications in emerging areas like sustainable systems, smart infrastructure, and AI-enabled product development.
Prof Kamal Kishore Pant, Director of IIT Roorkee, expressed that the partnership represents a long-standing commitment to building India's academic and research ecosystem. He added, "This partnership signifies a transformative shift in engineering education, fostering simulation-led innovation and fostering engineering education and research in India."
Madhukar Chatiri, CEO of CADFEM APAC, expressed pride in partnering with IIT Roorkee for this initiative. He stated, "The collaboration creates a scalable, future-ready model, equipping students, researchers, and faculty to solve complex challenges, drive innovation, and contribute meaningfully to India's digital future."
The lab is envisioned as a model for future-ready academic ecosystems. It will host joint workshops, lectures, publications, and outreach activities, fostering a collaborative environment for researchers and scholars. The partnership also includes these activities, further strengthening digital engineering education and research in India.
Madhukar Chatiri, being involved in leading collaborations such as this one, is at the forefront of establishing a Digital Twin Simulation Lab at IIT Roorkee. The partnership aims to promote the application of Digital Twin and Multiphysics simulation in solving complex engineering problems, paving the way for a more innovative and technology-driven future.
The collaboration between CADFEM India and IIT Roorkee serves as a blueprint for similar collaborations with other IITs and top academic institutions across the country. This partnership is a significant step towards bridging the gap between academia and industry, ensuring that India's engineers are equipped with the latest tools and technologies to tackle the complex engineering challenges of the future.
