Centre for Computational Continuum Mechanics
Solutions for Multi-scale, Multi-body, Multi-filed, Multi-phase and Multi-objective (M5) industrial problems
C3M stands for Centre for Computational Continuum Mechanics. It is a high-tech company specialised in the development of customised numerical solutions based on finite element method (FEM). These solutions are used in inverse modelling, sensitivity analyses and optimisation for Multi-field, Multi-scale, Multi-body, Multi-phase and Multi-objective (M5) problems. C3M has an advanced software development strategy that is based on a symbolic approach to automatic code generation, allowing solutions to be developed for a wide range of industrial and scientific problems.
The company was established in 1992 and in the first decade was focused mainly on numerical analyses of material forming technologies. However, systematic long-term development of M5 solution strategies put the company into a favourable position to extend their business to other high-tech applications in biomechanics, image processing, aerospace, chemical engineering, pharmaceutics and food industry.
C3M has developed some custom made applications that allow the users to have advanced technology available (numerical simulations, image processing, mathematical optimisation), if they are experts in that field or not.
C3M is a provider of customized numerical modelling solutions, mainly based on finite element method. C3M uses an advanced solution environment, consisting of symbolic system for automatic code generation AceGen and finite element environment AceFEM. Both are implemented as packages in Wolfram Mathematica, which also provides rich capabilities for visualization, user interfaces and mathematical optimisation. Such an integrated environment, where the model code is generated, tested and applied can provide significant improvements of the development process. In the following graphic portfolio you can find some of the solutions developed during research and industrial projects C3M participated in.
C3M has been involved in over 31 International and National Industrial and Research projects listed below
