The Munich-based startup DirectFEM aims to bridge the gap between the world of engineering and the real world with its software, relying on simulation. The young company's simulation solution is based on the finite cell method (a derivative of the finite element method, or FEM for short), which was developed at the Technical University of Munich. In the future, this solution will be part of the portfolio of Hyperganic be.
The virtually mesh-free finite cell method is intended to enable the physical evaluation of designs that were traditionally considered too complex for simulation. Integrating these tools into Hyperganic's core platform will enable users to directly evaluate and improve algorithmically designed parts before they enter the manufacturing phase.
With the acquisition, it was also announced that DirectFEM employees – including founders Nina Korshunova, László Kudela and Davide D'Angella – will remain with Hyperganic as full-time employees.
In 2021, DirectFEM was part of the 10th batch of Xpreneurs, the technology incubator of UnternehmerTUM.
