We empower engineers by providing them with browser-based mesh-free CFD software to validate their designs.
We know that every use case is unique and every engineer faces different challenges. That's why we want to invite you to the free, non-binding workshop where we can find out if our software can help you solve your problems.
We will get back to you to learn more about your use case and to schedule the First Date - a web call.
We start by presenting Dive and the possibilities of our software. There will be time for discussion and questions.
If we both come to the conclusion that our product can help to solve your problems, we will move forward together to the next step - a free, non-binding workshop. There, we will dive deeper into your use case and test our software on your design. Let's get started!
We are living in an era for engineers. Today's urgent need for technological advance is unprecedented in human history. Some are motivated by a green planet and some want to revolutionize human mobility. We help engineers to challenge the status quo and develop great products faster then ever before.
We believe that engineers should be able to focus on delivering great products. Our mission is to get rid of all unnecessary distractions and limitations within that development process. Therefore, we are committed to providing the leading browser-based engineering environment that allows product design teams to setup, compute, analyze, and share design studies hassle-free. All you need is a browser. We take care of everything else. No installation, no maintenance – just engineering.
Just like a tech startup should, we look back on years full of blood, sweat and tears but also full of joy, passion and success. But if we have to break it down to one thing: We enjoy engineering.
