Simutron’s software is able to help the end-user do more with the tool in a shorter time frame.

Underpinning engineering software solutions provider Simutron’s robust growth, is its affordable annual licenc ing model, which enables customers to access its ‘library’ of software tools, Simutron’s Simulation Applications Engineer, Gary Styger, tells Modern Mining .

E stablished in February 2022, this South African based company caters to the specialised seg ment of the simulation software market, offering advanced solutions. Its client base has rapidly expanded in the mining industry, with a strong pres ence among small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs). Styger points out that Altair stands out in the mar ket for its unique approach to software accessibility. Clients are increasingly drawn to Altair by its afford able and flexible licensing structure, which offers a comprehensive range of software and simulation tools for an annual fee.

Digital twin developments are all the rage now with the software offering significant cost savings.

Simutron’s simulation software is viable across manufacturing and mining processing needs – encompassing the full mining cycle. In an industry that calls for continuous software upgrades, Simutron’s annual licence provides clients with numerous benefits, including value-for-money solutions. “Our customers have access to our library of tools – tools that are continuously being advanced to keep abreast of the latest technology develop ments,” explains Styger. Simutron, a subsidiary of the MECAD group, which has been in existence since 1986, was established to serve some of the specialised industries such as mining. The company provides tools for advanced finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics and digital twin solutions to assist both mining opera tions and suppliers to mines.
