VOLTA is an enterprise-level, web-based Simulation Process and Data Management (SPDM) platform developed by ESTECO for managing, automating, and optimizing engineering simulation workflows and data. It enables multidisciplinary teams to collaborate securely, capture and version simulation data, and automate complex design and analysis processes. VOLTA integrates with a wide range of CAD and CAE tools, supports advanced job scheduling on scalable HPC environments, and provides APIs for enterprise integration. The platform includes built-in design optimization, process automation, and advanced data visualization tools, allowing organizations to democratize simulation, improve traceability, and accelerate product development. VOLTA also supports early verification and validation by integrating simulation with system requirements, enabling systems engineers to validate designs against requirements without physical prototypes. Its server-based architecture ensures secure, role-based access and efficient onboarding for users across engineering disciplines.
