Our R&D expertise

Modeling and Numerical Simulation

We support you with your innovation process, from the idea to industrialization and offer you solutions adapted to your needs.

We rely directly on the technical and scientific skills of our research staff and on the scientific independence of the University of Burgundy’s laboratories through Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne (ICB) and le Centre d’Excellence en Métallurgie des Poudres (CALHIPSO).

With the Burgundy-Franche-Comté Region’s financial support, we have state-of-the-art equipment that allows us to offer innovative analysis solutions and ambitious partnership research programs.

Our team supports you with your R&D projects or carries out analyses, according to your needs, with the scientific support of our network of researchers in Burgundy.

Implementation of multi-scale simulation tools: from molecular dynamics to finite element calculations

Thermal, mechanical, fluidic, dynamic and multi-physics analysis

Main partner laboratory: UMR Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne (ICB)

Whatever your sector of activity, predicting, analyzing and modeling your products’ behavior in their environment is a guarantee of technological control, quality assurance and cost reduction. Digital simulation has become the first step for any successful development. A support unit allows us to be at the service of companies and laboratories.

Through the digital support unit, we can bring additional know-how to your field. We offer tailor-made solutions to meet your specific requirements.

Expertise throughout your research, development and innovation projects | High-performance calculation tools | Multi-disciplinary use

Modeling & Simulation

Technological advantage:

  • Multi-disciplinary calculation tools (with mechanical, thermal and fluidic software…) via the University of Burgundy Data-Center

Possible uses:

  • Simulating your products’ behavior during all phases of design, manufacturing and use
  • Analyzing, detecting and correcting anomalies that have appeared on equipment
  • Optimizing manufacturing costs via experimental designs
  • Training on software

Personalized digital training can also be offered on request.

Its location within the University of Burgundy gives it proximity to the Data Center and means that a powerful and fast cluster is readily available.
