Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM

Products and Services

In the fields of activity of the department Transport Processes we develop our own efficient software tools. On the one hand to pass this software on to our customers and on the other hand to concentrate our competences and appear successfully in the field of research and development.

Some important examples are:

Products

FIDYST – Fiber Dynamics Simulation Tool

The simulation software FIDYST is a highly efficient software in order to simulate elastic fibers in turbulent fluid flows.

MESHFREE

MESHFREE is a software tool in fluid and continuum mechancis developed in cooperation with Fraunhofer SCAI. It combines the expertise in meshfree simulations and scientific computations of the two institutes.

RADEFF – Effective Simulation of Radiative Transfer

We developed a numerical approximation method for the solution of the radiative transfer equation.

LODTa – Light Optimal Distribution Tool

We developed an algorithm that computates the design of the lens which realizes a required light distribution on the screen for a given light source

STRING

In cooperation with delta h Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH the software STRING enables an intuitive visualization of steady-state and transient three-dimensional velocity fields.

SURRO – Virtual Production of Nonwovens

In the production of nonwovens a nonwoven web is created by spinning and entangling a large number of filaments or fibers. Our SURRO software generates virtual nonwoven structures.

VISPI – Simulate Virtual Spinning

VISPI is a simulation software with which a we map and analyse a wide variety of spinning processes.
