Enhance the performance of your open-source simulation software
Simvia provides solutions to make open-source software for computational and physical simulation in engineering more accessible and customizable.
Closed-source software limits performance and innovation in the industrial sector.
Their closed nature prevents users from adapting and improving tools to meet their specific needs, creating limitations that affect industrial competitiveness.
On the other hand, open-source tools enable:
- Collaboration: Sharing source codes does not mean sharing data or results.
- Innovation: Open-source fosters open innovation, accelerating the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) by leveraging contributions from research labs and industrial users on a shared platform, without having to wait for one another.
- Hybridization: Using open-source tools to handle different physical phenomena can allow them to interact, enabling deeper analysis, including the integration of artificial intelligence.
More broadly, the open-source approach addresses user demands for robustness through code transparency and expanded use cases.

A distinctive and attractive offering
Simvia provides solutions to optimize the performance of its open-source simulation software (such as code_aster, code_saturne, OpenTELEMAC, and SALOME).
From small engineering firms to large industrial groups, Simvia offers services to assist European companies conducting complex, intensive physical simulations.
The advantages of our solutions
-
Independence and flexibility
Using EDF-Simvia software does not create dependency on the provider, as the open-source license is unlimited. Users are free to adapt the software to their needs.
-
Scalability and agility
There are no hidden costs (e.g., no specific license tokens) for scaling from a workstation to a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster.
-
Optimized costs
Simvia’s solution is globally more cost-effective (training, licensing, maintenance, and engineering time) for conducting complex studies and simulations.
-
Personalized and local support
Unlike traditional providers, Simvia's support team can directly consult and correct the source code. EDF’s development team is accessible for complex requests.
-
Industry expertise
The EDF Group uses its own engineering codes, enabling Simvia to anticipate client needs and challenges. This facilitates direct communication between engineers.
