Cerbsim - Customized Simulation Tools#

Simulation in the hands of your product engineers.

We build in-house simulation apps together with your simulation experts. Your design engineers compute losses, heating, fields and flow on their own, and the design cycle gets shorter.

The design-cycle bottleneck

The queue between design and validation costs you weeks. An app removes it.

How it works

Built with your simulation experts. Used by every designer.

1

Your expert defines the method

The methodology stays yours. Your simulation expert sets the models, the material data and the validation cases, and becomes the owner of the platform instead of the bottleneck for every calculation.

2

We build the app around it

Guided inputs in the language of your design department, import from the sheets you already use, sensible defaults, automatic checks. Easy to use, hard to use wrong.

3

Every designer runs it

On the desktop or in the browser. Design engineers check losses, heating, fields and flow themselves, while designing, not weeks later.

See it live: E-Motor Studio

Our public demo app. Design a permanent-magnet synchronous motor straight from its design sheet: automatic geometry and meshing, magnetostatic FEM over one electrical period, torque, back-EMF, cogging, efficiency and design checks. The field is rendered live in your browser.

E-Motor Studio: simulation results with flux density field view
Runs entirely in your browser. First start loads about 100 MB and takes a minute.

Note, E-Motor Studio is a demonstration toy, small enough to run in a browser tab. The apps we build for clients go much deeper. Solvers tuned to one specific problem, one machine, one product line. That focus is exactly where we stand out.

Where this pays off

Wherever a recurring calculation sits between your designers and their next iteration.

Flux density in a permanent-magnet motor

Electric machines & drives

Torque, losses, heating, demagnetization

Design-sheet apps for motor and transformer development, electromagnetic and thermal, validated against your measurements.

Transient CFD of an axial fan

Hydro, fans & turbomachinery

Air and water flow, pressure, structural loads

Apps that let designers check blade, runner and casing variants without waiting for the CFD group.

Chip package with pin-fin heat sink, temperature field

Cooling & data-center thermal

Heat removal, hot spots, operating points

Thermal design apps for engineers who size cooling every week, not once a year.

Induction-heated gear with coil

Induction & power electronics

Induction heating, transformers, chokes, coupled EM-thermal

Low-frequency electromagnetics packaged so process engineers can tune coil and workpiece themselves.

Electromagnetic scattering simulation

High-frequency EM & waves

Antennas, scattering, resonators, EMC

High-order solvers for wave problems, packaged so your engineers can sweep designs themselves.

Why not generic CAE?

Simulation apps without the license meter.

The stack behind the apps

Open source, developed by us for over 20 years, and proven in production worldwide. Your tools remain maintainable, adaptable, and under your control.

Netgen

Meshing that eats real CAD

Automatic 3D meshing of STEP and IGES models via OpenCASCADE, hardened by 25 years of industrial geometry.

GitHub →

NGSolve

20+ years of solver research

High-order multiphysics finite elements from TU Wien: electromagnetics, thermal, structural, flow, and any coupling of them.

GitHub →

WebGPU

GPU rendering in any browser

Interactive field and mesh visualization without installing anything. No plugin, no special workstation.

GitHub →

ngapp

Apps in pure Python

Turns simulation scripts into desktop or web apps, written in pure Python. No JavaScript, no frontend team.

GitHub →
Deployment your IT will accept

Desktop app

A regular installer your IT rolls out like any other program.

On-prem server

Runs on your hardware inside your network. Browser access for every engineer, data never leaves the company.

Hosted platform

We operate it, your team just opens a link. The fastest way to get started and to roll out updates.
