Cloud & HPC

Deploy your open-source simulation tools with efficiency, robustness… and sovereignty.

A graphic card.

Simvia supports industrial and technical teams at every step of adopting or industrialising open-source simulation tools on the cloud or on internal servers: from the initial idea to stable production, including integration and training.

Our workshops and services are fully customisable to your ecosystem (HPC, Cloud, hybrid, local workstation) and your challenges (performance, reproducibility, sovereignty, automation, etc.).

Prepare, deploy and get the most out of open-source simulation software (code_aster, code_saturne, openTELEMAC, Salomé) combined with HPC-dedicated tools (Slurm, remote VSCode, Singularity, Apptainer, Docker) with help from our team.

Our support offerings

Evaluation & scoping

Evaluation workshop

Are you starting out with open-source numerical simulation but unsure where to begin? This workshop helps you map your needs, constraints, compute volumes, regulatory requirements, and compare existing solutions (code_aster, Salomé, other CFD codes, meshing tools, etc.). We analyse the fit with your current infrastructure (on-premise, cloud, hybrid) and define a realistic roadmap.

Technical proof of concept (PoC)

Have you already identified your target use cases? We build a bespoke PoC together, including:
  • objective performance criteria,
  • critical features you want to validate (multi-user, Git integration, launch via VSCode, job scheduling with Slurm, etc.),
  • a working prototype ready to use quickly (typically 3 to 6 weeks).

Implementation & deployment

Installation workshop

We install the necessary tools with you (on your infrastructure or cloud):
  • Open-source simulation software
  • Slurm, the most recognised HPC job orchestrator,
  • Secure remote access via VSCode Server / SSH,
  • Dockerised or virtualised environment according to your constraints.

Custom configuration workshop

We help you adapt the tools to your business:
  • configuration of calculation cases,
  • structuring of project files,
  • post-processing automation,
  • integration of your internal libraries or standards.

A bespoke agenda is defined with you.

System review workshop

A few weeks or months after going live: we review your installation, its usage, performance, new expectations, and identify possible next steps (scaling, migration, CI/CD, etc.).

Dev & API integration

API & automation workshop

We show you how to drive your open-source simulation codes or Slurm via:
  • Python or Shell scripts,
  • REST API calls (where applicable),
  • Git + GitLab CI/CD for continuous integration,
  • multi-case batch scripts (optimisation, parametric analysis, etc.).

These workshops enable automation of business and industrial processes.

Slurm integration

On your compute servers (on-premise or cloud), we deploy a job orchestrator adapted to your environments:
  • Slurm installation
  • Queue configuration, quotas, priorities
  • Monitoring (Grafana, Prometheus, etc.)
  • Integration with remote interfaces (VSCode, nexus, FTP, etc.)

Mentoring & training

Administrator training (1 day)

You want to learn how to:
  • install, maintain and evolve your open-source architecture,
  • understand logs, configuration files, security rules,
  • manage users, rights, remote workstations.

Continuous mentoring (subscription or packs)

Flexible support, via call or video conference on demand, to:
  • unblock an urgent issue,
  • ask a specific technical question,
  • verify a good programming or usage practice.

Advanced technical support

Diagnostic & troubleshooting workshop

Is your cluster or open-source simulation software instance no longer working as expected? We help you identify the root cause (bad mesh, error message, memory overload, etc.) and permanently fix your infrastructure.

Compute time & script optimisation

Review of your long or resource-intensive industrial cases. We suggest concrete ways to:
  • lighten models,
  • revisit irrelevant assumptions or dimensions,
  • take advantage of parallelisation.

Why choose Simvia?

Strong industrial experience: Our team works daily with numerical simulation teams in demanding sectors (nuclear, automotive, aeronautics...).
