Luna Rossa in America’s Cup.
Luna Rossa and Siemens have strengthened their digital engineering partnership in anticipation of the 38th America’s Cup. This collaboration aims to assist the team in managing increasingly intricate engineering workflows and expediting decision-making processes across various domains such as simulation, structures, systems, and technical development.
Luna Rossa will leverage the wider adoption of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to integrate key areas like data management, requirements traceability, advanced simulation, system modeling, and structural optimization within a more cohesive digital engineering environment.
The partnership aims to enable the team to explore technical options earlier, enhance the integration between simulation and engineering data, and facilitate faster and more informed development decisions as preparations for the upcoming America’s Cup campaign progress.
«Developing a competitive yacht means managing complexity across many engineering domains while continuously refining performance», said Gilberto Nobili, Technology & Operations Director at Luna Rossa. «By expanding our collaboration with Siemens and adopting a wider set of technologies to drive our innovation, we can strengthen our digital engineering foundation and support the team as we prepare for the next America’s Cup».
«High-performance sailing presents many of the same challenges faced by leading manufacturers», said Franco Megali, vice president and CEO for Italy, Israel and Greece, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “By expanding our collaboration with Luna Rossa, Siemens brings together advanced digital engineering technologies to support innovation under some of the world’s most demanding performance conditions”.
