Real-world simulation
Industrial geometries, real machine programmes and real materials: OTOM simulates composite manufacturing as a true digital twin, now accelerated on the GPU in your browser, and extends the same approach to fluids and particles.

Automated fibre placement depends on things that are hard to measure: where the laser energy lands, how hot the bond line gets under the roller, and how the polymer crystallises afterwards. OTOM simulates all of it on the real tool geometry and the real machine programme, for any lay-up orientation and heating profile.

- Any fibre placement 3D lay-up
- Any tooling geometry and lay-up orientation (0°, 30°, 60° and more)
- Any heating profile as input, with every process aspect of the real case

Beyond composites: CFD and SPH
The same real-time GPU approach now powers two flow solvers. OTOM CFD is a grid-based Navier-Stokes solver for aerodynamics, ventilation and supersonic flow. OTOM SPH is a mesh-free particle solver for free surfaces, mixing, filling and granular flow. Both run live in the browser.
