	SIDACT GmbH Simulation Data Analysis and Compression Technologies “Big-data” and “numerical simulation results” are the major focal points for SIDACT’s scientific research, development and distribution of applications. In particular, SIDACT concentrates on • compressing numerical simulation results for improved usability and • using advanced math for the analysis of such results for new and enhanced insights. SIDACT develops, maintains and distributes the following licensed products: • FEMZIP – Compression of Crash, Structural Analysis, and CFD simulation results by a factor of 10. • DIFFCRASH – Analysis of instabilities in crash simulation results. • FemAlyst – AI on simulation results. Automatic event detection based on unsupervised machine learning algorithms. SIDACT also offers • Service, support and training for FEMZIP and DIFFCRASH installations and • Implementation of compression and math analysis modules for current and also other application areas. Customers of SIDACT include all German automotive companies, two of the three US car manufactures and many of the major European and Asian companies as well as their suppliers and consultants. SIDACT is a spin-off of Fraunhofer based in Germany founded in August 2012. SIDACT markets, supports and further develops FEMZIP and DIFFCRASH since January 1st, 2013. FEMZIP and DIFFCRASH were developed by members of the Numerical Software department of the Fraunhofer Institute SCAI since 2002. This work was partly funded by the German Ministry for Research and Technology (BMBF) and the European Commission as part of the SIMDAT, AUTOBENCH and AUTO-OPT projects. The copyright for the software versions until 2012 is still owned by Fraunhofer. Six patents are exclusively licensed by SIDACT from Fraunhofer for engineering applications protecting the kernel technologies of its products. Six scientists from Fraunhofer joined SIDACT and work for support and further developments of the SIDACT products. We like to use advanced math in software products or tailored applications to improve the usability of numerical simulations and gaining further insights from vast amount of numerical simulation results. Today’s customers of SIDACT are car manufactures from Europe, US, India, China, South Korea and Japan. SIDACT products are supported by local distributors in all of these regions.
