8Powerful Software at Your ServiceVSim packages make it possible to simulate electromagnetic, charged particle, and kinetic plasma phenomena quickly and accurately with its cutting edge algorithms and high performance. Choose a package of features to get a tailor-made solution to common problems, or combine packages to obtain a customized software package for your specific needs. For example, you can use our electromagnetics package for solving for fields inside of high field cavities then later add features from our microwave devices to study the effects of field emissions.

With VSim, you can start from our wide range of examples both demonstrating classical physics problems and real world devices spanning plasma discharges, ion thrusters, satellite charging, RADAR antennas, vacuum electronics, photonic devices, or particle accelerator components.

Electromagnetics, Particle, and Plasma High Performance Application

Flexible Pricing With VSim’s flexible pricing model, you pay only for the capabilities you need. Whether you need a custom set

of physics capabilities, or want to separate the front end graphical user interface from the physics engine, we

will work with you to meet your requirements. For example, you can purchase VSim with its GUI interface for

your workstation then buy only the physics engine portion of the product to run on your cluster. This means

that you do not have to pay for an extra VSim workstation license to be able to use your cluster’s computing

power to run simulations. Our sales team is happy to answer your questions to match our product to your

problem and resources.

Scalable Simulations for Your Hardest Problems Since VSim supports massively parallel computing and scales to tens of thousands of processor cores, new

problems that were previously unsolvable are now within reach. VSim works on Linux, Windows, and Mac

OS X platforms. Our competitive pricing means that the more computing cores you need, the less you pay

per core, whether you use batch computing on clusters, or large single computing jobs.

About Tech-X CorporationTech-X Corporation is committed to technical excellence and innovation. Our scientists and software

engineers work together to deliver quantifiable results. We combine the academic research with a

commercial software company sensibility to deliver high quality, cutting edge software that takes
