Sovereign Simulation Technologies
HPC-ready multiphysics technologies for MEMS, electromagnetics, optical systems and thermal management.
Open Engineering develops sovereign simulation technologies for the modelling and analysis of complex engineering systems.
Our HPC-ready multiphysics platform combines advanced numerical methods, engineering expertise and industrial integration to address challenges in MEMS and transducers, electromagnetics, optical systems and thermal management.
At the core of our technology offering is OOFELIE::Multiphysics, a Belgium-developed simulation platform designed for mission-critical defence, space and industrial applications. OOFELIE::Multiphysics supports structural, thermal, acoustic, electromagnetic, piezoelectric and fluid–structure coupled analyses while integrating seamlessly with established engineering environments such as Siemens Simcenter 3D.
Beyond software, Open Engineering provides consulting, training and modernization services to help organizations deploy robust simulation workflows and maintain long-term engineering sovereignty.
RCS Simulation — Tailless Fixed‑Wing Drone
We computed the radar cross section (RCS) of a tailless fixed‑wing drone at L‑band (1 GHz) using our sovereign FDTD-based solver.Â
The model incorporates accurate geometry and metallic materials.Â
Monostatic and bistatic RCS can be obtained via near‑to‑far‑field transforms; results include angular RCS polar plots, frequency response near 1 GHz showing low-frequency resonance behavior, and near‑field E‑field snapshots.
OOFELIE::Multiphysics environment in Simcenter 3D
The OOFELIE::Multiphysics environment for NX allows Simcenter 3D users to use a full-featured multiphysics solver within their home environment.
As an illustration, a pressure sensor analysed in Simcenter 3D. This pressure sensor is based on Silicon-on-insulator (Si-on-insulator, or “silicon on insulator”) which is a cutting-edge semiconductor technology used to fabricate advanced integrated circuits (ICs).
Software products by domains of application
The purpose of our OOFELIE::Multiphysics solver is to generate virtual prototypes. This entails creating highly detailed and precise simulations of your system. These multiphysics simulation findings can be used to anticipate outcomes, test multiple scenarios, and refine your ideas without the expense and limits of real-world testing. OOFELIE::Multiphysics virtual prototypes thrive at harsch scenarios, simulating probable conditions and results.
