SCIENTIFIC SIMULATION

Overview

  • Developer of innovative, user-friendly software tools for scientific research, education, and commercial applications.
  • Software is used to accurately and efficiently simulate the radiative, hydrodynamic, atomic and spectroscopic properties of hot gases and plasmas.
  • Software features sophisticated numerical models for performing cutting edge research, in combination with easy-to-use graphical interfaces and interactive visualization tools. These software tools are well-suited for state-of-the-art government and industrial laboratory research, as well as undergraduate and graduate student research and education projects. Much of the software is designed to run on multiple platforms, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX.
  • Developer Team constantly partakes in research projects involving collaborations with several U. S. national laboratories (Sandia, LANL, LLNL and U. Rochester LLEetc), universities (MIT, Princeton, Oxford, Cornell, UC-Berkeley etc) and US government agencies (DOE, MDA, AFetc).
  • Has become an established global leader in easy to use high energy plasma physics simulation tools such as high-fidelity radiation physics simulation tools and high-quality atomic physics databases.
