Illinois Rocstar does simulation science. We build the tools, the infrastructures, and the interfaces to help industry gain a return on their investment for using scientific modeling and simulation to improve their processes and products. From macroscale multiphysics that couple fluids, solid mechanics, materials, and chemistry to microscale crystal-level modeling of a variety of granular materials, Illinois Rocstar has tools to help address these areas.

Founded in 2007, the principals of the company are experienced leaders and senior scientists using advanced computation and simulation techniques. These principals support our vision that high-fidelity scientific modeling and simulation will enhance the nation’s security and economic position while minimizing cost and physical risk. Illinois Rocstar works to achieve this through development of advanced multiphysics software, and through application of our—and others—software to solve difficult engineering problems in applications from solid propellant rocket performance to ultra-high-performance-concrete microstructure. Our focus is to develop high quality open-source and propriety scientific software for high-fidelity numerical analysis of fluid flows, combustion, materials, structures, and their interactions in complex, changing geometries.
