}}Next Limit Technologies is a computer software company headquartered in Madrid, Spain. Founded in 1998 by engineers Victor Gonzalez and Ignacio Vargas[1] the firm develops technologies in the field of digital simulation and visualization. This software can be applied to professional fields including engineering and digital content.[2] In December 2016, the XFlow division was acquired by Dassault Systèmes. [3]

Products

  • RealFlow — a dynamics and fluid simulator for film production. RealFlow has been used in the production of films such as: The Return of the King;[4]
  • Maxwell Render — a physically correct light simulator and render engine;
  • XFlow — an engineering software for Computational fluid dynamics;
  • CaronteFX — an integrated physically-based animation editor extension tool for the Unity game engine.

Research and development

Next Limit has actively participated in various research projects throughout Europe as well as Spain. It is currently the leader of the European project, SAFECITI (Safe Citizen),[5] which aims to create a simulation system for analysts that would predict the behavior of large crowds in urban environments in moments of panic, violence, or catastrophes. The system is based on serious game technology and is designed as a training platform. Other European projects that Next Limit has actively participated in are: PRISM,[6] Skycoat[7] and COELUX.[8] COELUX is responsible for the production of a window with an optics system based on nanotechnology that can reproduce natural light and the appearance of solar and sky light. This technology is implemented in closed spaces that lack an exterior facing window.[9]

In Spain, Next Limit has participated in biotechnology research to simulate the heart as a complex fluid structural system.[10]

Awards

Year Category Awarded by Result
2013 Mare Nostrum[11] Award Sociedad Científica Informática de España (SCIE) and the Congreso Nacional de Informática (CEDI) Winner
2008 Technical Achievement Academy Award[12] Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Winner
