We know the world of multiphysics simulation can be complicated, so we have created this page to answer questions related to:
General Multiphysics Simulation FAQs
Multiphysics simulation involves modeling and analyzing multiple physical phenomena (e.g., thermal, structural, fluid dynamics, and electromagnetic interactions) simultaneously to understand complex systems.
It helps predict real-world performance, optimize designs, reduce prototyping costs, and accelerate product development.
Most product design and manufacturing companies will benefit. In particular, industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical devices, energy, and electronics will find multiphysics simulations very helpful in their processes.

S3 Process FAQs
S3 is a proprietary, enabling process that allows AltaSim Technologies to identify problem(s), develop solutions, and provide the customer with tools to sustain the desired results.
STUDY – SIMULATE – SOLVE
S3 is a customer-focused process that blends multifunctional tools, extensive engineering knowledge, and advanced computational analysis to solve real-world problems. It is unique in that it transfers capability to our customers and keeps on working long after the immediate problem(s) has been resolved.
The same way you would know that you are purchasing the right automobile, take it for a test drive. Ask for a demo so you can see for yourself the effectiveness of the S3 process and the professionalism and responsiveness of our team of engineers.
At AltaSim, we define benefits as the fulfillment of our customers' needs. Whether your primary need is immediate, deadline-driven results or longer-term, effective solutions, S3 will be customized to meet your needs.
S3 has been applied to a broad range of real-world problems, including supporting the successful development and commercial implementation of innovative products and technology. Successful resolution of ongoing problems has been achieved in a variety of industries, including petrochemicals, medical products, automotive, shipbuilding, and primary metals.
Take the first step, share your problem/need with the AltaSim team, and allow us to walk you through the process. Depending on the scope, this may lead to the development of a customized package that will meet your needs and provide the tools for continuing application and sustained growth.
You are the managing partner in the process. AltaSim exists to support you and help you leverage our assets to accomplish your goals.
You will determine the stakeholders and their level of involvement. The process is outcome-focused, so whoever has a contribution to make is a valuable resource.
Regular customer interactions focused on progress as measured by the achievement of clearly defined milestones and outcomes that are designed to meet or exceed your internal needs.
COMSOL, ABAQUS, LS-DYNA, Solidworks, and MATLAB are some examples of the tools available to you when you harness S3. The choice to invest in your own software or leverage our capability is up to you and will depend on the outcomes you define. We will be there to help you weigh your options and complete the cost/benefit analysis.
Study and Simulate are functions of Solve. The scope and complexity of the required solution will determine the time required to identify the root causes, isolate the critical parameters, and develop cross-disciplinary/multifunction solutions that provide sustained benefit.
A better question is - what is the cost of not leveraging S3 technology to identify a permanent, effective solution to my problem? The level of your investment will be based on the resources you require. Our commitment is that you will know the level of investment before you take the first step in the process.
You will have no doubts about this one because it is one of four key questions we ask before moving forward on any project: (1) What is the desired outcome(s)? (2) What is the current reality? (3) What actions/steps are required? (4) How will we know when we are successful? Objective, quantifiable indicators of accomplishment of the desired outcome(s) will be implemented during the "study" phase.
