About
Pioneering the integration of artificial intelligence with computational engineering.
Engineering simulation is entering a new era. Advances in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and computational mechanics are converging. HIDENN-AI is building the software to bring them together for design and manufacturing teams.
Our mission
HIDENN-AI is developing AI-infused engineering software that combines artificial intelligence with traditional computational methods for the next generation of design and manufacturing. We believe the greatest advances in science and engineering will come from integrating AI with physics-based computational methods, enhancing established workflows rather than replacing them.
Our mission is to accelerate and democratize high-fidelity simulation, making advanced engineering analysis faster, more affordable, and accessible to a broader range of engineers and organizations. Built on decades of research in computational mechanics, HIDENN-AI is backed by leading institutional partnerships and a team with deep expertise spanning both artificial intelligence and engineering.
What we stand for
Making high-fidelity simulation accessible to every engineer.
Pushing the boundaries of what's possible in engineering simulation.
Built on decades of computational mechanics research.
