Mondaic's waveform simulation and inversion software Salvus has powered millions of simulations in over a dozen countries. The technology has contributed to NASA's Insight mission to model Mars' interior structure, helped find a hidden corridor within the Great Pyramid of Giza, and advanced ultrasonic imaging techniques for brain research.
► More than 15 million successful simulations► More than 100 scientific publications using Salvus
All these diverse applications share one foundation: the physics of wave propagation. This universal principle works identically across all scales, and our software models deliver proven accuracy and speed whether examining planetary bodies, concrete bridges, or complicated composite structures.
Salvus is designed from the ground-up to equivalently support both performant 2-D simulations and highly accurate 3-D simulations. All aspects of Salvus work in 2-D as well as 3-D with an identical user interface.
Salvus supports a range of different wave propagation physics ranging from the scalar acoustic equations all the way to coupled and attenuated media. Any potentially arising interface conditions are automatically satisfied.
Most waveform solvers can work on regular grids. Salvus natively supports arbitrary quadrilateral and hexagonal meshes, allowing more complicated settings and domains using curvilinear and fully unstructured meshes.
Salvus works on laptops but scales to high-performance computing optimally utilizing tens of thousands of CPUs and GPUs. Salvus is also ready for cloud computing and deployment.
