3 key benefits
Rationalize your investments
Take full control of your costs by replacing perpetual license rental with an investment in your teams (TCO typically reduced by 50% within a few years).
Be sovereign
Secure your technological sovereignty thanks to transparent computation codes, auditable end-to-end and free from extraterritorial regulation.
Innovate freely
Customize your solvers and automate your computation processes without running into the limits or extra costs of proprietary vendors.
« "Open source numerical simulation is not a low-cost alternative. It is a model where transparency replaces opacity, and where technological mastery replaces dependence." »
What you will discover
A brief history of open source at EDF
The history and robustness of EDF R&D's technological heritage, forged to meet the demands of critical engineering and safety.
Putting costs into perspective with total cost of ownership
An objective TCO comparison to assess the real cost of an open source migration against commercial models.
They've made the move
Testimonials and quantified feedback from industrial players (Holcim, Aether Engineering, Fortlab Polska) who are already benefiting from open source.
The questions you're asking yourself
Direct and pragmatic answers to your operational concerns: solver accuracy, learning curve, long-term viability of the tools…
This strategic guide is for you if:
- You lead the technical function, R&D, or engineering projects of an industrial company.
- You are looking to rationalize your simulation budgets in the face of annual price increases from your usual software solutions.
- You operate in critical sectors (defense, energy, civil engineering) requiring absolute control over your data and deep oversight of the algorithms.
- You want to couple different physics or extend the use of high-performance computing (HPC) without being limited by budget.
