About

Dive CAE is a cloud-native computational fluid dynamics software platform that enables engineers to simulate complex fluid behaviors, such as free-surface flow, multiphase interactions, heat transfer, and moving machinery, using a mesh-free Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method. It runs entirely in the browser and on high-performance computing infrastructure, so users don’t need local hardware or installation. The mesh-free approach allows for modeling of complex geometry, surface tension, non-Newtonian fluids, and transient flows without the time-consuming meshing and tuning required by conventional CFD. Onboarding is fast (typically under one day), and the software supports parallel design-of-experiment workflows that deliver multiple iterations in hours rather than days. Dive CAE emphasizes collaboration, license simplicity (one licence for all users), transparent cost control, data usage governance, and scalability via cloud infrastructure.

About

PFC, or Particle Flow Code, is a general-purpose distinct-element modeling framework available as two- and three-dimensional programs, PFC2D and PFC3D. It is designed to simulate synthetic granular and solid materials as assemblies of variably sized rigid particles, including disks, spheres, rigidly connected clumps, and convex polygons or polyhedra. It provides an efficient and flexible way to model the motion, interaction, breakage, flow, deformation, and failure of particle systems across geomechanics, mining, civil engineering, materials processing, and industrial design. PFC is especially useful for problems where the behavior of a material emerges from particle-level contacts, bonding, friction, rearrangement, fracture, or flow rather than from a continuous mesh. Users can represent bonded materials such as rock, concrete, or cemented soil, as well as loose granular materials such as sand, gravel, ballast, ore, powders, and grains.
