FEA × AI × Cloud compute

Expert simulation, built to scale.

We combine computational mechanics, AI agents, surrogate models and cloud HPC to turn complex engineering problems into reliable, repeatable simulation workflows.

The platform

Two layers. One stack for simulation.

Simulation is powerful but hard to scale. Expert time is limited, methods live in people's heads and scattered scripts, and the software and compute are expensive. We address both the expertise and the compute.

Surrogate AI

Surrogate models, trained and deployed.

We build fast AI models of your simulations for any physics, from classical ML to physics-aware deep learning. Our standard workflow performs well on most problems out of the box. When yours needs something different, we build it custom.

Rubber mount, end to end

An axisymmetric rubber mount with material and geometric nonlinearity. Our agents ran the whole study: model creation, solve, DOE, choosing and training the network, the report, and loading results back into Abaqus.

faster than running the FEA

Fast when it's sure. Real physics when it isn't.

Custom agents check whether a new design sits inside the validated range before trusting the surrogate. If not, they build and run the FEA model automatically, and the result becomes training data for the next model update.

Expertise

For the problems that push simulation to its limits.

Coupled physics. Extreme deformation. Materials that resist simple assumptions. Studies that demand more compute than the budget allows. We bring two decades of computational mechanics together with AI and scalable compute, starting with your hardest engineering question.

01 · Scale

Complex multiphysics & computational cost

Coupled physics, fine meshes and large parameter spaces can make every run expensive and a full study seem out of reach. We combine appropriate solver strategies, cloud HPC and smarter sampling to make demanding studies tractable within your compute budget.

  • Coupled physics & large-scale models
  • DOE & parameter studies on cloud HPC
  • Commercial, open-source & in-house solvers
02 · Nonlinearity

Severe deformation and nonlinearity

When geometry changes dramatically, contact evolves and instabilities dominate, routine solver settings can fall short. We work through the formulation, mesh, contact and solution controls to capture the response and assess whether the results are physically credible.

  • Large strain, contact & self-contact
  • Buckling, post-buckling & instability
  • Drop, crush & impact
03 · Materials

Complex material models

Real materials depend on strain, loading history, rate and temperature. We select and calibrate constitutive models against your test data, validate them for the intended loading conditions and develop custom routines when built-in models fall short.

  • Hyperelasticity, viscoelasticity, plasticity & damage
  • Material calibration & custom UMAT / VUMAT
  • Rubbers, polymers, foams & metals
04 · Real time

AI surrogates for real-time prediction

Turn expensive simulation studies into fast predictions for design exploration, optimization and real-time use. We train surrogates on simulation and test data, establish their accuracy and range of use, and connect them to workflows that return to full physics when needed.

  • Response curves, fields & design-space exploration
  • Optimization, what-if & in-the-loop prediction
  • Validated deployment to APIs, apps & edge devices

Work with us

A low-risk path from first model to production.

Start small on representative data, then move into your environment once the value is clear.

  1. 01

    Off-site pilot

    Prove value before you invest

    We work on representative, non-proprietary data against your actual workflow problems. An optional hosted sandbox gives your team hands-on time with the agent.

  2. 02

    On-site project

    A dedicated agent in your environment

    An InnovFlow agent scoped to the project, installed on your premises. Every script, model, workflow and report is delivered to you.

  3. 03

    On-premise deployment

    Production partnership

    InnovFlow inside your IT environment for ongoing use, with operations, evolution and support tailored to your security requirements.

Your data stays under your control. Every option respects your data governance, security and AI usage policies.

Technology Partner Program. For hard problems with wider market potential, we share the cost and risk through our venture arm.
