Simerics Inc. is a global technology company that develops, markets, and supports Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software for product design and development in automotive, hydraulics, oil and gas, marine and aerospace industries. The Simerics team is comprised of scientists and engineers who have been among the pioneers in the development and application of multipurpose computational physics since the early 1980s. This knowledge and experience are combined with new advances in computational physics, computational geometry and software engineering to provide our clients with the next generation of simulation tools.

Simerics offers two state-of-art general-purpose CFD tools: Simerics-MP and Simerics-MP+. Simerics-MP features a parallel solver that yields accurate and fast simulation for multi-purpose (MP) applications involving single-phase or multiphase flow, turbulence, cavitation/aeration, heat and mass transfer, particle and fluid-structure interaction. Simerics-MP+ includes all the capabilities of Simerics-MP with additional features such as streamlined setup procedures, automated mesh/re-mesh for key components especially moving components.

Simerics Ltd is establishing a new UK office in Southampton and is seeking a UK CFD Application Engineer to support its growing customer base and international distributor network.
