Projektbeschreibung
Neue Funktionen verbessern die atomistische Simulationssoftware SIESTA
SIMUNE ATOMISTICS SL ist ein in Spanien ansässiger Softwarehersteller, der wissenschaftliche Softwarelösungen mit fortschrittlichem Code für die vereinfachte Nutzung in industriellen Anwendungen entwickelt. Das EU-finanzierte Projekt SIESTA-PRO wird dem Unternehmen helfen, SIESTA – ein bekanntes quelloffenes Programm, das effiziente elektronische Strukturberechnungen und ab-initio-Simulationen der Molekulardynamik durchführt – weiter zu verbessern und weitere Funktionen hinzuzufügen. Das optimierte Programm wird in der Lage sein, große Systeme (bis zu Tausenden Atomen) viel schneller effizient zu analysieren als dies konkurrierenden Lösungen möglich ist, was auch die Zeit bis zur Markteinführung neuer Materialien verkürzen wird.
Ziel
"The business opportunity detected is that currently no company offers professional support for an ""open source"" code nor a code capable of covering all the needs of the industrial field, with support, guarantee and usability comparable or even better than existing commercial alternative software. SIMUNE takes as a starting point a code developed by the founders of SIMUNE and popular in the scientific community (SIESTA), with the aim of adding improvements and functionalities and as consequence make it competitive versus any existing code right now in the market. The advantages that the solution brings to the customers are:
• Save costs thanks to the efficiency of the code (3/4 times faster than existing solutions)
• Capable of analysing large systems (up to thousands of atoms), which is innovative in the market
• Reduce the time to market of new materials, accelerating their development stage;
• Understanding of the “why” of the results of the measurements (testing) and gives prediction of (next steps)
• To analyze, explore and characterize properties of materials that by other means would not be possible
• To study complex physical and chemical phenomena simplifying them in fundamental parts, treatable by computer simulations
SIMUNE proposes SIESTA-PRO in order to take the use of specialised expertise, highly recognised SIESTA code and all the powerful computational tools a step closer to the market. SIMUNE will start with three niches: Chemicals (e.g. BASF), Electronics (e.g. INFINEON) and Bioscience (e.g. MERCK) market niches. This will have a direct impact in how advanced material industry perform new material developments, which impacts the global economy, and at the same time will lead SIMUNE to become the worldwide reference
During the Phase 1, a feasibility assessment will be conducted by having three independent channels of information gathering and analysis. With the results and data gathered in this study a Business Innovation Plan will be ellaborated."
