Patent attributes
Systems and methods are provided to move the solving of multi-physics engineering simulations away from specific CAE, or combination CAD and CAE, applications. In one embodiment, an Application Programming Interface (API) is provided that can be integrated into any device, system, application, or software workflow. The API exposes a series of functions or modules that a user can use to create a simulation file that includes parameters such as a model for the simulation, physics for the simulation, timings for the simulation, and other parameters. The simulation file may then be executed on one or more nodes of a cloud-based computer cluster, and the results of executing the simulation can be provided back to the user. The user may then visualize the results using their preferred device, software, application, or workflow.
