Create physics-based models and simulation applications with this software platform.	About NVIDIA Modulus is a neural network framework that blends the power of physics in the form of governing partial differential equations (PDEs) with data to build high-fidelity, parameterized surrogate models with near-real-time latency. Whether you’re looking to get started with AI-driven physics problems or designing digital twin models for complex non-linear, multi-physics systems, NVIDIA Modulus can support your work. Offers building blocks for developing physics machine learning surrogate models that combine both physics and data. The framework is generalizable to different domains and use cases—from engineering simulations to life sciences and from forward simulations to inverse/data assimilation problems. Provides parameterized system representation that solves for multiple scenarios in near real time, letting you train once offline to infer in real time repeatedly.	About The core of extensible programming is defining functions. Python allows mandatory and optional arguments, keyword arguments, and even arbitrary argument lists. Whether you're new to programming or an experienced developer, it's easy to learn and use Python. Python can be easy to pick up whether you're a first-time programmer or you're experienced with other languages. The following pages are a useful first step to get on your way to writing programs with Python! The community hosts conferences and meetups to collaborate on code, and much more. Python's documentation will help you along the way, and the mailing lists will keep you in touch. The Python Package Index (PyPI) hosts thousands of third-party modules for Python. Both Python's standard library and the community-contributed modules allow for endless possibilities.	About Powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, SIMULIA delivers realistic simulation applications that enable users to reveal the world we live in. SIMULIA applications accelerate the process of evaluating the performance, reliability and safety of materials and products before committing to physical prototypes. Delivers powerful simulation of structures, fluids, multibody, and electromagnetics scenarios including complex assemblies directly linked with the product data. Modeling, simulation, and visualization technology are fully integrated on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, including process capture, publication, and re-use. The value of the customer’s existing investment in simulation horsepower is maximized by allowing simulation data, results, and IP to connect to the platform and become true corporate assets that powers innovation for all users.
