Ducati Boosts Racing Performance with Digital Engineering

Ducati Corse, the racing division of Ducati Motor Holding, transformed its motorcycle development process by adopting Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio—including NX CAD, Simcenter, Teamcenter, Fibersim, and Mendix. By unifying design, simulation, manufacturing, and ERP data within a single digital ecosystem, Ducati drastically reduced development time from concept to track, improved collaboration across engineering teams, and enabled real-time performance analysis during MotoGP races. High-precision modeling, virtual validation, composite optimization, and integrated PLM-ERP connectivity now empower Ducati to innovate faster, minimize errors, and continuously enhance both racing and production motorcycles. The partnership strengthens Ducati’s competitive edge while preparing its engineering processes for future technologies such as electrification and advanced topology optimization.
