At NVIDIA GTC 2026, Jensen Huang made a clear statement: physical AI has arrived.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/span>Yet the core bottleneck of Physical AI has never been the model itself. It lies in a more fundamental constraint: whether we can faithfully reconstruct the physical world.<\/p>\n

<\/span>In reality, even the simplest action involves the coupling of multiple physical systems: structure, materials, fluids, thermal dynamics, contact, and etc.<\/span>
And this is precisely where the limits of multiphysics simulation emerge.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this installment of<\/span> SynReal Decode<\/span>, we begin with a significant question: why is it so difficult for AI to truly enter the real world?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To a large extent, the answer points to a foundational capability\u2014<\/span>physical simulation, and in particular, universal multiphysics simulation<\/strong>.<\/strong> Starting from first principles and grounded in current industry developments, this article explains why this capability matters, and how Style3D has built its technical advantage in this space.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. What is Physical Simulation and Universal Multiphysics Simulation<\/span><\/h3>\n

Universal multiphysics simulation refers to the ability to simulate multiple physical phenomena, material behaviors, and their interactions<\/strong> within a unified computational framework.<\/span><\/p>\n

From a macroscopic perspective, objects in the physical world can be broadly categorized into three types: <\/span>rigid bodies<\/strong>, deformable objects<\/strong>, and fluids<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span> In real-world human environments, solid objects dominate, and a significant portion of them are deformable. By contrast, fluids\u2014primarily water and air\u2014exist widely but are relatively limited in scale and complexity in everyday scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n

From a technical standpoint, simulation of single or small numbers of rigid bodies (e.g., robot structures) is already relatively mature.<\/span> In contrast, deformable objects and fluids have long been considered among the most challenging problems in physical simulation. If we focus on everyday human environments rather than extreme industrial or natural conditions, <\/span>deformable object simulation emerges as both the most difficult and the most critical problem.<\/strong><\/p>\n
