Knowledge. Exchange. Applications.
On September 22 and 23, 2026, the fourth ThermoSim will take place in Aachen – the expert conference on thermal system simulation with a focus on Modelica and FMI. The conference language will be German, with optional English translation available.
ThermoSim brings together experts from industry and research who are working at the forefront of thermal system simulation. Join us for two days of practical, application-oriented presentations, in-depth discussions, and fresh ideas — this year in the heart of Aachen. Meet people who work with Modelica, FMI, and similar tools and models as you do: people who understand your challenges, share them, or have already solved them.
The perfect opportunity to gain practical solutions, fresh perspectives, and valuable connections in thermal system simulation.
Practice over theory
The focus is on real industrial applications and practice-oriented research. Modelica, FMI, and modern simulation environments provide the technical framework.
Unique concentration of expertise
Offers a very high concentration of expertise in thermal system simulation. Participants bring hands-on experience from energy, building, vehicle, and process simulation.
Direct dialogue with developers
Meet the teams behind tools and libraries such as TIL, Dymola, and Modelon Impact — some of them with more than 25 years of experience in the field.
New formats in 2026
We’re planning even more genuine exchange!
1. Bring Your Challenge: Discuss visions and major challenges with fellow experts
2. Expert Clinic: One-on-one sessions focused on solving concrete simulation problems
„For me, ThermoSim is very valuable because it directly brings industry and research together. That’s where I met Steffen Heinke (TU Braunschweig) and our collaboration greatly advanced our ZEROe project."
Karin Dietl
Research Engineer
Airbus
„Once again, it was a very interesting meeting with in-depth discussions. A must-have event for all Modelica developers."
Simon Weber
Acoustics and Building Physics
University of Stuttgart
Exciting insights, a highly professional audience, and excellent networking opportunities. ThermoSim is a fixed date in my calendar, both as a speaker and as a participant.
Dr. Ing. Imke Krüger
Simulation Engineer
Dassault Systèmes
„A truly great mix: technically strong presentations combined with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere."
Stefan Rauscher
Innovation Engineer Specialist
Vaillant Group
„At ThermoSim, I meet people who are working on exactly the same topics. The exchange is open, practical, and truly helps me move forward."
Sabrina Dusek
Research Engineer
AIT Austrian Institute of Technology
“The majority of the ThermoSim presentations align exactly with my research interests and field of work. I very much look forward to being in Aachen and to taking away new impulses for my day-to-day work.”
Bernd Schäfer
Head of Simulation
Porsche AG
„I’m looking forward to the technical exchange and to welcoming you as your host at some especially beautiful venues in Aachen."
Franz Lanzerath
CEO
TLK Energy
The program combines expert presentations, interactive formats, and ample time for networking and getting to know each other. Our speakers come from leading industrial companies, engineering firms, and research institutions. The focus is on practical experience, real-world challenges, and immediately applicable insights.
Featuring contributions from, among others:
Danfoss · Bosch · Airbus · Porsche · Wurm · Dassault Systèmes · Modelon · AIT · DLR
Preliminary program – subject to change.
Experience current tools, libraries, and development states live. Take the opportunity for direct exchange with development teams, live demos, and insights into new features.
Together with our co-organizers, TLK Energy is hosting ThermoSim in Aachen this year. All partners and sponsors will be on site with an exhibition, presenting their solutions to challenges in system simulation.
SPONSORS AND EXHIBITORS
Modern conference rooms, a prime location, and short walking distances — just a few minutes from the cathedral and the market square.
A 100-year-old industrial building — now a vibrant venue for dining, meeting, and great conversations. The ideal setting for networking and personal exchange.
Food and drinks will be provided. Enjoy coffee and cake, snacks during the breaks, a lunch buffet from KochNische, and a shared dinner with cold drinks at La Fabrik.
Everyone with a passion for modeling and simulation is welcome.
ThermoSim is aimed at everyone who models, simulates, tests, or optimizes thermal systems:
Simulation engineers
R&D engineers
Model and tool developers
Engineering leads and
project managers
Modelica and FMI users
Engineering consultancies
Applied research institutions
The number of participants is limited to ensure high-quality exchange.
