2026-09-20 –, Modelica Technology & AI (R1001)
Agentic workflows developed for software development have changed our software development methods. Most of the trivial coding tasks are solved by AI in a fraction of time of what the software engineer used to take. Instead of coding, the focus of a software engineer is now on specifying the work to be done, choosing the right architecture, orchestrating the agents doing the work, and verifying the results.
Modelica – from its earlier definition – has always included a duality between the language and the user interface artifacts. And the language is no different for an LLM than a programming language like C, C++, Python, Julia, Rust, Wolfram, etc. Therefore, it took only a few months before a similar change happened for modeling and simulation as for software engineering. We do not model the same way as we did a year ago.
In this tutorial, we will first discuss the recent and upcoming evolution of the role of the simulation engineer towards a rather System Engineer type of work, assisted by agents. The skills of today’s simulation engineer however remain critical for successful simulations. We will demonstrate this by hands-on examples. In a second step, we will leverage Wolfram System Modeler and their newest agent skills to develop a detailed Modelica in an agentic manner, pointing at best practices and pitfalls.
At the end of this workshop, you will be equipped to develop your own model in a much faster and efficient way, as AI-embracing simulation engineer.

Clément is leading the Technology Cluster for Digital Mechatronics at Siemens Healthineers. He is responsible for building up a team of experts in digitalization - where the scope ranges from modeling and simulation, Scientific Machine Learning, to Artificial Intelligence -, and triggering and leading technological projects to enhance the development of Siemens Healthineers mechatronic products and their digital capabilities. This role leverages the past experiences of Clément as a Team Lead and Model-based Development expert at Modelon and at other industry leaders such as Airbus Helicopters and Dassault Systèmes. Clément holds two MSc - in France and Spain - in System Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, and a PhD on model-based hydraulic actuation system design for helicopters.
Clément started leveraging Modelica in 2008 and has not stopped since then. He joined in May 2026 the Boad of the Modelica association, with the specific duty to advance and shape the future of the technology.
Clément is a happy husband and father of two amazing boys - who are making his life even more exciting than his work.
