About ICON

The globally trusted partner for computational fluid dynamics engineering applications

Overview

For 30 years, ICON has been the globally trusted partner for computational fluid dynamics engineering applications. Our on-premise and cloud-based CFD products and expert services are better, faster, cheaper and easier than the big software conglomerates.

As a result, we offer OEMs, emerging disruptors and suppliers significant operational, commercial and competitive advantages – more accuracy, more speed, more flexibility, greater capacity and lower costs.

Our Vision: Expert business partner for simulation-driven product engineering

Our Mission: State-of-the-art decision-making assistance with unique CFD products and expert CFD services using public and private clouds

Our Culture: Collaborative, consultative and flexible experts in finding robust solutions to the latest bleeding-edge engineering problems

Our Experience and Expertise:

1992: Founded by researchers from Imperial College, London to become an expert partner to industry in the disruptive use of CFD simulation in place of physical testing e.g. IC-Engines for Automotive.

2004: Expert partner to industry for the disruptive use of Open Source CFD in place of expensive proprietary CFD software. [ref.].

Organiser of the first international Open Source CFD conference for Industry. [ref.]

2006: First robust adjoint optimisation CFD simulation process for large scale industrial use. [ref.,ref.]

2012: Disruptive introduction of Cloud based CFD Platform to aid in the democratisation of hi-fi simulation for all. [ref.]

2013: IDAJ and ICON, two of the world’s leading independent service providers and system integrators of CFD processes, announce an IDAJ investment to become the majority shareholder in ICON. The considerable synergies of the combined group (and its sales and support agents) enable global market access to over 150 multi-skilled engineering personnel with aim of providing the finest independent supported CFD processes available to industry.[Ref.]

What’s next?
Our roadmap includes the addition of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies to our Platform to further speed-up simulation workflows and achieve optimal product designs in optimal time and cost in this era of electrification, automation and drive towards net-zero.
