Problem
Traditional CAE software often struggles to accurately simulate complex fluid and granular material behaviors, especially those involving large deformations, multiphase interactions, and heat transfer. Mesh-based methods can be computationally expensive and time-consuming, requiring significant manual effort for pre-processing and potentially sacrificing accuracy.
Solution
Prometech Software provides CAE solutions based on particle-based simulation methods, enabling engineers to analyze and optimize designs involving complex fluid and granular material behaviors. Their flagship products, Particleworks and Granuleworks, leverage Moving Particle Simulation (MPS) and Discrete Element Method (DEM) respectively, offering high-speed, high-accuracy simulations without the need for mesh generation. These tools support multiphysics simulations, including conjugate heat transfer, and are accelerated by GPU computing for enhanced performance. Prometech's solutions cater to a wide range of industries, offering intuitive GUI operation from pre- to post-processing.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes engineers and researchers in automotive, machinery, materials, chemicals, electronics, food, consumer goods, medical, civil engineering, disaster prevention, and energy industries who require advanced simulation tools for product development and design optimization.
