Simulation Innovation Lab.
- SIL builds simulation-first technologies that turn complex physics into fast, trusted design decisions. We combine CFD & multi-physics with AI surrogates, optimization, and digital twins to deliver lower cost, higher efficiency, and better performance—from ships (including SUBMARINE) and offshore systems to energy and consumer products.
In the era of AI-accelerated engineering, the winners are those who simulate, learn, and iterate before they build. That’s SIL: credible physics, automated workflows, and evidence you can ship.
