Software Interfaces

INTEGRATING COMMERCIAL AND IN-HOUSE ENGINEERING SOFTWARE TOOLS

Communicating with any engineering software

Optimus provides an intuitive interface to quickly integrate and drive various commercial or in-house simulation software tools - regardless of the engineering discipline or programming language.

​Easy-to-setup software integration

The Optimus workflow editor allows to parameterize engineering models without the need to deal with complex file syntax. Optimus also makes it easy on the user to automate design variable substitution and simulation results extraction. Launching and executing the different simulation tools is embedded in the process without the need for any user programming.
