Application of Simvia in various fields
Optimize server room cooling with CFD simulations: improve airflow, prevent hotspots, and boost energy efficiency using Code_Saturne
OpenTelemac models river floods to predict flood events, simulate scenarios, and support prevention and mitigation efforts for better flood risk management.
Structural analysis of concrete buildings with Code_Aster: simulate cracking, aging, and seismic response for safer, cost-effective design.
Why open source ?
Independence and flexibility
Using EDF-Simvia software does not create dependency on the vendor since the open source license is unlimited. The user is free to adapt it to their needs.
Scalability and agility
There are no hidden costs (for example, there are no specific license tokens) when moving from a workstation to a high-performance computing cluster (HPC).
Optimized cost
The Simvia solution costs less overall (training, license, maintenance, engineering time) for conducting complex studies & simulations.
Proximity & personalized support
Unlike traditional software vendors, Simvia support can directly consult & correct the source code. The EDF development team is accessible for complex requests.
Industry expertise
The EDF group is a user of its own engineering codes, which allows Simvia to anticipate the needs and problems of its clients. Engineer-to-engineer dialogue is facilitated.
