IIT Roorkee and CADFEM India Set Up Digital Twin Lab to Boost Innovation
The India Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee and CADFEM India Pvt. Ltd. have collaborated to establish advanced Digital Twin Simulation Labs. This initiative strengthens the digital engineering education and research ecosystem by integrating Ansys’ world-class Multiphysics simulation technologies with CADFEM’s deep engineering expertise. The lab is set to empower students, researchers, and faculty to tackle complex challenges, foster innovation, and accelerate the adoption of Digital Twin technologies in academia.
Under the MoU, IIT Roorkee will gain access to Ansys’ state-of-the-art Digital Twin, CFD, FEM, and Electromagnetics simulation solutions for academic research, curriculum enhancement, and skill development. CADFEM will provide software licenses, technical workshops, ongoing support, and collaborative research guidance to help students and faculty tackle real-world engineering challenges using simulation.
The collaboration will feature joint workshops, lectures, publications, and outreach initiatives to advance the use of Digital Twin and Multiphysics simulation in addressing complex engineering challenges. It will also encourage researchers and scholars to co-author scientific publications in emerging domains such as sustainable systems, smart infrastructure, and AI-driven product development.
“We are proud to partner with IIT Roorkee, an institution known for academic excellence and research leadership. This MoU reinforces our vision to bring the power of engineering simulation to every campus in India by establishing these digital labs. The lab is envisioned as a model for future-ready academic ecosystems, bridging education and industry with simulation-led innovation and paving the way for similar initiatives across top Indian institutions,” said Madhukar Chatiri, CEO, CADFEM APAC.
“This partnership represents our long-standing commitment to build India’s academic and research ecosystem. By integrating advanced simulation workflows into the institute’s curriculum and labs, we are enabling a new generation of engineers to be industry-ready and innovation-driven,” said Prof Kamal Kishore Pant, Director, IIT Roorkee.

Indian Institute of Technology or IITs are world renowned Engineering institutes network. The competitive selection procedure has built its reputation in the field. As it helps the institute in filtering out the best of students. Admission to IITs is through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). As per past years' statistics, only 1% or 2% of the total applicants get a seat in an IIT.
Moreover, IITs also enjoy good partnerships/collaborations with industry partners. These connections allow students to get opportunity to work on collaborative research projects, internships, and job placements for students. With this type of industry exposure, students get a chance to enhance their practical skills.
