Core technology

POLARIS and our customer projects are built on the same computational kernels: scalable FEM, BEM and coupled solvers for electromagnetic fields.

FEM, BEM and coupled FEM–BEM

Scalable on clusters and workstations, with MPI and threading.

Fast Multipole Method

Compressed boundary element matrices and advanced preconditioners.

No air mesh

Only the solid parts are meshed. The BEM handles the surrounding air.

Multiphysics coupling

Forces and losses passed to structural and thermal solvers through preCICE.

More about the core technology

Case studies

Coupled simulations where the electromagnetic field drives the mechanics or the heat. Parts move freely; nothing is re-meshed.

Eddy current brake

A magnet falls through a conducting tube. Time-domain FEM–BEM couples mechanical and electromagnetic forces.

Research projects

From time to time we work on funded research with partners from academia and high-performance computing.

PRACE/SHAPE

SME HPC Adoption Program in Europe

SHAPE helps European SMEs adopt high-performance computing. In this project, TAILSIT worked with HPC experts and had access to the VSC-4 supercomputer, to add distributed-memory parallelism and optimized MPI communication to its solvers.

Services

When no product fits, we build on the same solver core for you.

Solvers

Electromagnetic solver development

FEM, BEM and coupled FEM–BEM, parallel with threads and MPI, integrated into your simulation workflow.

Multiphysics

Coupled electromagnetic effects
