What they say about DotBlocks

Trusted by industry leaders and top-notch researchers

Working with DotBlocks has been an outstanding experience. Their state-of-the-art numerical methods accelerated our numerical simulations by up to 330X. That level of performance makes it much easier to run the simulation tool directly in our production processes, tightening process control and enabling real-time optimization.

Clear, pragmatic and efficient, exactly what we expect from Industry 4.0.

Since its creation, I’ve seen in DotBlocks a tremendous opportunity for the numerical simulation of complex processes that are out of reach for traditional approaches. Cutting-edge numerical methods, each relevant to a specific kind of problem, are seamlessly integrated into a modular framework, allowing the creation of custom numerical tools.

It has also been a true pleasure meeting the DotBlocks team, who are exceptionally warm and whose technical expertise commands deep respect.

I had the pleasure of meeting DotBlocks team during scientific discussions on the study methods of the properties of numerical schemes. Thanks to their high-level theoretical and practical expertise across a wide range of numerical methods, this team of young researcher-engineers designs and develops software to accurately simulate industrial processes.

It is a fine example of synergy between applied mathematics and industry, the kind we would like to see more of in our country

I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with DotBlocks to develop numerical tools utilizing advanced physical models to improve our industrial operations. Their theoretical models are state-of-the-art, on par with the latest academic research, and their numerical implementations and validations are remarkably efficient and accurate. I truly believe in the value of a physical approach to understanding and improving industrial processes.

DotBlocks exemplifies this perfectly.
