Materials used in construction and civil engineering—such as concrete, steel, asphalt, composites, and advanced materials for buildings, roads, bridges, tunnels, and other infrastructure—cover a wide range of applications. In recent years, there has been a strong emphasis on improving various material properties with key goals such as decarbonization, reducing environmental impact, enhancing durability, and extending service life. To accurately evaluate these properties, it is essential to consider the multiscale nature of materials and to employ a variety of methods and technologies.
With JSOL’s simulation software suite, you can run simulations tailored to each scale: from nanometers, capturing electronic states and molecular structures, to micrometers, modeling phase separation and composite materials. By linking these tools, it is possible to analyze the mechanisms behind the performance of advanced materials directly through simulation.
Today, there is growing demand for data-driven materials development using AI technologies, under concepts such as Materials Informatics and Process Informatics. JSOL’s AI-enabled software allows you to predict properties based on molecular and crystal structures, composition ratios, and processing environments—and even perform inverse design. When experimental data is scarce, high-throughput simulations can be executed to supplement datasets and accelerate discovery.

JSOL’s simulation and informatics software is used worldwide by manufacturing companies, research institutions, and universities.Our product pages feature numerous case studies, helping you explore applications before adoption, while a wealth of published research offers valuable reference after implementation. Some products also have active user communities, with lively discussions at the annual JSOL CAE Forum, providing direct opportunities to learn from fellow users as well as JSOL.
