Imagine how much more you can achieve when your tools don't stand in the way of your development

  • Use open source libraries incl. physics, mathematics and SysID models to accelerate early development
  • Test, learn and adapt during early design and focus engineering efforts on the most promising designs
  • Automatically generate high quality code directly from your model making it easier to debug and make changes
  • Use open source libraries incl. physics, mathematics and SysID models to accelerate early development
  • Test, learn and adapt during early design and focus engineering efforts on the most promising designs
  • Automatically generate high quality code directly from your model making it easier to debug and make changes
  • Engineers focus on engineering work, designing systems in a GUI environment and automatically generate embedded code
  • Run simulations and get insights into the system at least 20-100x faster using HPC
  • Always work on the latest and greatest meaning no wasted work and allow your team to continuously understand the impact their changes have on the overall system 
  • Collaborate in real-time with your team, customers and JDM, streamlining sprint planning, change management and code reviews
  • Derisk earlier by testing thousands of design concepts before starting implementation work
  • Conduct system level tests for verification and validation so you can gain confidence in your system’s performance in the field
  • Get improved traceability from requirements to hardware implementation and generate pass/fail reports to use as DO and ISO certification artifacts
  • Perform closed loop SIL, MIL, HIL, DIL tests and store TBs of simulation results directly in your database for analysis at a later date
FEATURES

Design your system using reusable function blocks

Model your electrification project in hours - not days - using our reusable function blocks, e.g., battery management systems, battery cells, inverters

Use our system design tools including PID control and MPC, automated tuning, model linearization, linear analysis, etc. to gain insights into your system faster

Build data driven or physics based digital twins rapidly using system identification or machine learning

Simulate performance using HPC

Derisk earlier by testing thousands of design concepts before narrowing down your specifications and system architecture

Simulate performance of your system before it goes into production including thermal effects, SOC, etc.

Optimize your energy production based on different demand scenarios, energy prices, weather forecast, energy demand

Automatically generate embedded code

Generate high quality embedded code directly from your model and have any changes to the system’s design propagate down to the target hardware

Embed AI in your system design

Directly embed trained neural networks in your model to get end-to-end insight into your system performance. For example, AI and ML applications could include energy price predictions to proactively accelerate/decelerate production, predictive maintenance, etc.

Use your design as a digital twin

Use the system you designed as a digital twin to simulate and test updates to your embedded or PLC software, train your ML, etc.

Stream data from production to evaluate efficiency, make performance improvements, or predict when the maintenance crew should be alerted

Collimator is by far the best modeling and simulation software that I have used. Using the block diagrams that Collimator provides has allowed me to simplify my code and shift the time I was spending writing convoluted scripts back to my research!
R&D Researcher, Control Systems
Collimator is head and shoulders above the rest. I’ve found modeling to be very easy and straightforward. I’ve also saved a bunch of time and money while running my simulations. The same simulations that would take hours to run on my local PC run in minutes.
Control Systems Engineer, Consumer Electronics
Collimator proved to be the best solution for me because of how easy it was to get data from our back end, use that to create synthetic data, and then move that data into my neural net for training.
Automation Engineer, Technology Startup
It is amazing to use Python, run on a web browser and collaborate on the cloud […] This is undoubtedly 10x better than what I've used before!
GNC Engineer, Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing
