About The Company

We love innovation in dynamics! We make software to reduce sound and vibrations, mostly in (electrical) vehicles. With our technology, we predict these noises even before the vehicle has been built, so you don’t have to build a prototype over and over again. We make models based on tests, which can be combined with simulations, enabling hybrid design strategies. A modular NVH process ensures that vibration problems can be solved up-front, instead of in the late and expensive phase of troubleshooting. 

We are engineers at heart, so we value developing software that really answers to the workflow of engineers. Also we provide relevant training and support to clients, in order to empower engineers with new ways of doing dynamic analysis and pushing the innovation of product development.
