History

Our Journey

SmartCAE was founded in 2002 from the entrepreneurial vision and passion of four engineers who strongly believed in computer simulation as a strategic support tool for design.

Over time, the company has evolved by consolidating its expertise in structural analysis and developing new skills in complementary fields such as Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD, automotive crash simulation, and shape and topology optimization.
Today, with twenty years of experience, SmartCAE continues to center its client relationships on the concepts of long-term partnership and mentoring, guiding and assisting them at every step toward achieving their product development goals.
