CadenceCONNECT SDA User Conference India 2026

GSAS Micro Systems is highlighting the CadenceCONNECT System Design and Analysis (SDA) User Conference India 2026, a two-day, in-person user conference hosted by Cadence on September 10-11, 2026 at the Hilton Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park on Hebbal Outer Ring Road, Nagawara, Bengaluru 560045. The conference theme is “Imagine. Simulate. Realize. Engineering the Future with Intelligence.”

Sessions run from 09:00 IST on Thursday, September 10 to 18:00 IST on Friday, September 11. Registration is open on the official Cadence event page linked below. Cadence has not published an attendance fee, so check the registration page for current terms.

What the conference covers

Per the Cadence announcement, the conference will showcase the latest trends and industry use cases in:

• AI-driven simulation
• Digital engineering
• Multiphysics analysis
• Virtual validation technologies

These sessions are powered by the Cadence System Design and Analysis (SDA) solutions, including MSC Software, BETA CAE Systems, and Fidelity CFD.

What is in store

Cadence states the following programme scale for the 2026 edition:

• 6 specialised tracks covering design, multiphysics, system dynamics, fluids, virtual manufacturing and beyond
• 100+ competitive presentations and case studies sharing real-world breakthroughs
• 100+ expert speakers and visionary keynotes
• 25+ awards celebrating engineering excellence
• The opportunity to meet Cadence SDA developers and researchers, with global R&D updates and future roadmap

The programme is built around keynote sessions, technology updates, paper presentations, and peer networking.

Programme figures above are Cadence’s own, as published on the official event page. GSAS has not independently verified attendance or session counts.

For long-time MSC Software users, this is the India user conference for the portfolio under the Cadence banner: MSC Software, part of the former Hexagon Design and Engineering business, is now part of Cadence, and its simulation portfolio anchors the SDA solution line alongside BETA CAE Systems and Fidelity CFD.

Who should attend

Cadence names three audiences for the conference: design and simulation engineers; technical managers, R&D heads and directors; and CTOs, CIOs and other decision-makers driving digital transformation. The industries it expects to be represented are automotive and EV, aerospace and defence, heavy machinery and off-highway, electronics and semiconductors, energy, power and renewables, and telecom and industrial equipment.

In GSAS’s experience that maps to CAE and simulation engineers, NVH and structural analysts, CFD engineers, durability and fatigue specialists, and engineering managers running simulation-driven development programmes, particularly teams already working with MSC Nastran, Adams, Actran, Marc, Romax, BETA CAE, or Fidelity CFD toolchains.

Why Indian simulation teams should care

Indian CAE teams are under the same twin pressures the conference is built around: models keep getting bigger while programme timelines keep shrinking, and AI-assisted simulation, reduced order modelling, and virtual validation are moving from research topics to production workflows. A user conference is the fastest way to see what peer companies are actually deploying, hear industry use cases first-hand, and put questions directly to the technologists behind the tools.

For the MSC simulation community, it is also the natural place to understand the SDA roadmap now that the portfolio is part of Cadence.

Why GSAS is sharing this

GSAS Micro Systems is the authorized India engineering partner for the Cadence MSC simulation portfolio: MSC Nastran for structural analysis, Adams for multibody dynamics, Actran for vibro-acoustics, Marc for nonlinear FEA, Romax for drivetrain engineering, and MSC Apex for CAE modelling. We support simulation teams across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai, and Delhi NCR with local application engineering, and we are highlighting this conference so those teams can plan travel and calendars before the agenda lands.

The conference is hosted and run by Cadence, and registration is handled on the official Cadence event page. If your team wants help mapping the MSC simulation portfolio to an Indian simulation programme before or after the conference, talk to GSAS.
