Frequently Asked Questions

Our products combine accuracy, efficiency, and ease of use. Each workflow is designed to be streamlined, so simulations can be set up quickly without compromising quality. We also work closely with customers and integrate specific needs into our products whenever possible.

Our software is especially valuable in industries where fluid dynamics, lubrication, and particle-based simulations are critical — such as automotive, aerospace, energy, mechanical engineering, and research. Currently, most of our customer base comes from the automotive sector.

All products are available for Windows and Linux.

This varies by product. For example, with shonDy we ensured:

  • A smooth workflow with a gentle learning curve.
  • A step-by-step user manual for the first case setup.
  • A built-in library of example cases in shonDy and shonTA, so new users can start from working setups.

Runtime depends on the use case and workstation. As an orientation: an industrial gearbox lubrication case takes about 12 hours on a state-of-the-art workstation (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, 62 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 9 9900X).

Yes. Each product can be purchased individually. At the same time, they are designed to interact seamlessly — for example, shonMesh, shonDy, and shonTA can be combined into a single workflow.

Product interaction

We provide flexible models, depending on customer needs:

  • Perpetual license: Includes the current version and one year of updates. The license remains valid afterwards, but without further updates.
  • Time-limited license: Valid for a specific period, during which all updates are included.

After requesting a trial, one of our colleagues will confirm details such as:

  • Full name
  • Company or institution
  • Job title
  • Intended application
  • Operating system
  • Preferred license type (online or offline)

Once confirmed:

  • Online license: You receive a license key and can start right away.
  • Offline license: You install the product, generate an activation code, and we send you a file for offline use.

We also provide a short remote session to introduce the key features and guide you through your first steps. Our support team is available throughout the trial.

The standard trial lasts three weeks, but extensions can be arranged if needed.

Yes. Every purchase includes comprehensive training, tailored to your needs. Together with you, we define the scope and format — either online or on-site.
