About Us

At the heart of scientific computing

IMACS activities are centered around scientific computing and mathematical engineering. IMACS is organized around two poles :

Services (see our services page for more details) :

development of innovative numerical techniques for wave equations and multi-scale / multi-physics coupling
scientific simulation software development
legacy scientific software porting, rewrite and optimization
legacy scientific software vectorization and parallelisation
numerical studies using our in-house software tools

Products (see our products page for more details) :

SONATE vibro-acoustic simulation software (using retarded potential method)
ASERIS electromagnetics simulation suite (including EMC/shielding analysis, FMM kernel, parallel versions, ...)

With its highly qualified team of experts and engineers, IMACS is dedicated to provide efficient and accurate answers to today industrial scientific challenges.

History

IMACS was founded in 1994 by Toufic Abboud, a senior mathematics researcher. It is a spin-off from the CMAP (Ecole Polytechnique Applied Mathematics laboratory) .
development of an innovative technique for the solution of wave equations problems (acoustic, electromagnetics/optics, elastodynamics, ...)
release of SONATE v1.0 in 1999, the first commercial software for acoustics implementing retarded potential methods
IMACS develops the mesher in the jCAE project (in collaboration with EADS)
IMACS is selected as exclusive distributor of the ASERIS software suite of EADS electromagnetics solvers in 2005
