“Our applications are graphically-intensive in nature – we simulate the details of fluid flow around complex 3D geometry. It’s critical that we provide our end-user analysts with high-fidelity, high-speed, real time visualization and HOOPS has been our graphics engine of choice for many years. In addition we are using Tech Soft’s HOOPS library with our soon-to-be-released ground-breaking simulation pre-processing tool and are pleased with the level of performance even on the very largest 3D models”

CAE Customers

Tech Soft 3D components have proven to be valuable building blocks in a wide range of CAE applications – including FEA, CFD and Multi-Physics solutions as well as a variety of simulation applications. Below are just a few of the ways that firms in the CAE field make use of our suite of robust components.


HOOPS/3DAF helped Coventor capture the largest installed base of MEMS (micro-electrical-mechanical systems) design software in the world by getting them to market quickly with an advanced pre-processor that combines the graphics power of HOOPS with the modeling strengths of ACIS.

ESI Group

For nearly 15 years this leading provider of CAE solutions has relied upon HOOPS as a core component within products such as PAM-Crash, PAM-Stamp, SYSWELD and others. Within their wide range of advanced simulation solutions, HOOPS helps to extend platform and graphics card coverage, insulating the ESI team from ongoing hardware changes and enabling them to focus more fully on internal code generation.

EXA develops a range of simulation software for the fluids engineering marketplace. The company recently switched their graphics engine to HOOPS in order to enhance the performance and capabilities of their PowerCASE, PowerPREP and PowerEXPORT solutions. This move to HOOPS enhanced their software and allowed their programmers to remain focused on EXA’s core expertise - solving complex fluid flow problems.

FEKO is EMSS' advanced 3D field simulator for analyzing electromagnetics and an extremely popular cross-platform application in the aerospace, automobile, defense and communication industries. EMSS worked closely with TS3D to integrate HOOPS, Parasolid and InterOp into FEKO and take their pre- and post-processors to an entirely new level of performance, usability and capability.

JRI Solutions is the software development arm of the venerable Japan Research Institute. When the company decided to make a significant investment in their electro-magnetic field analysis software, JMAG – they turned to HOOPS. Working closely with the services team at TS3D’s Japanese partner, Spatial, JRI was able to produce a new generation of JMAG with significant performance and functionality gains. The move to HOOPS was so successful that JRI is now in development of additional applications that will be powered by HOOPS.

Virtual Motion

As a privately funded company, Virtual Motion had to deliver their new product to market quickly to generate revenue. The company lacked time and resources to develop its own 3D geometry kernel and graphics. By using the 3D ACIS modeling engine and HOOPS to accelerate their DAFUL software development, Virtual Motion was able to reduce their development time by 50% and gain a competitive advantage by quickly delivering a feature rich product to market.
