SOFTWARE
TOOLS THAT THINK IN MILLISECONDS.
Developing engineering software that automates design and optimises the operation of your process or product. Custom solvers, parametric workflows and digital twins — validated on experimental data — so the answer arrives in milliseconds, not weeks.

WHERE THE FRICTION IS
WE DELIVER
WHAT CHANGES AFTER WE SHIP
01
Develop and customise products quickly, without inflating cost.
01
Design control time measured in milliseconds — the iteration loop becomes interactive.
02
Reduce the cost of the design process itself.
02
Lower production time and cost — fewer rounds, fewer surprises in tooling.
03
Monitor industrial processes and cut inefficiencies on the production line.
03
Minimised downtime — root causes flagged before they become outages.
04
Eliminate human error in data interpretation.
04
Engineers freed for the creative work — judgment, design, exploration.
WHAT SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT MEANS HERE
We started as a group of engineers with a research background, and the habit that comes with it: when a problem turns up, model the physics before arguing about it. The tools were written for our own projects, which is the only reason they were written at all.
Over the years those tools were used on enough real work to become validated and robust — checked against measurements, not against expectations.
Then we structured the team around them: software architects, computer scientists and software engineers, whose job is turning an engineering tool into a product — robust, maintainable and scalable for a wider base of users than the person who wrote it.
Our tools can be mainly classified into two categories:
DESIGN AUTOMATION
Tools that accelerate and automate the design process — performing in a few milliseconds actions that would take an engineer hours by hand. They sit alongside your existing CAD and commercial CAE stack, not in place of it.
PARAMETRIC WORKFLOWSBATCH SOLVERSCAD / CAE INTEGRATION
DIGITAL TWINS
Validated virtual models that mirror your process or product — calibrated on experimental data, deployed in operations. They replace expensive trial-and-error with answers you can trust before the next batch runs.

NABLA-X
Nabla-X is an integrated engineering platform that unifies a wide range of physics-based apps for design, simulation and system analysis: a cohesive environment for workflows that would otherwise be several tools and a spreadsheet between them.
The apps are assembled from proprietary algorithms and solvers written by the team over more than a decade, across industries that share almost nothing except the physics.
NABLA-X TOOLS
… and many other domain-specific apps.
BUILDING BLOCKS
THE VALUE OF CUSTOMISATION
Starting from the portfolio apps, from scratch, or a combination of both, we assemble those building blocks into the app you need: the shortest path to your goal rather than the most general one.
Customisation is what turns a capable tool into one that fits your workflow, and it is an investment made by the client.
Customisation may involve your own data or proprietary assets: object libraries, operating maps, supplier lists. All of it remains the exclusive property of the client, and is protected accordingly.

A TOOL YOU WOULD USE EVERY WEEK?
Every tool above was written because someone was doing the same thing by hand for the third time. If that sounds familiar, the conversation is worth having.
