Simcenter Testing Technology Supporting Avalanche Research at SLF

At the Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF), cutting-edge research meets advanced testing technology to improve safety in mountain environments.

Using Siemens Simcenter Testing Solutions, SLF’s researchers analyze snow mechanics and avalanche behavior with precision — helping protect lives through science and data.

As a Siemens Partner, BSIM Engineering proudly supported this project by providing the testing instrumentation used in SLF’s facilities. Our team collaborated with Siemens and SLF to ensure seamless integration of Simcenter SCADAS RS and Simcenter Testlab into their research workflow, enabling high-quality data acquisition even in demanding alpine conditions.

We’ were happy to be involved in the official Siemens customer story video, where SLF’s engineers shared how Simcenter Testing solutions are helping them advance avalanche research. You can spot a couple of people from our team in the video: Ricarda Nugk and Marco Brino.
