Frequently asked questions

Do you have a question which is not answered below? Consult my collection of articles or the newsroom. Do you still have questions? Ask me directly!

OK, lots of clever stuff on your website. What do you sell? Myself as an employee in one form or another.

You seem to refer to other people's products all the time. Don't you have any products of your own? No. I have, however, contributed to SimxonCARE, a package of consultancy services for predictive maintenance and maintenance optimization primarily aimed towards the wind turbine market.

They must all originate from rather unexciting cases, for one must assume that the most exciting cases are protected by customer IP. I have tried to explain my attitude to fancy, uninformative simulation solution pictures here.

What was the idea behind the logo of your now defunct company? My logo was inspired by the S-curve explained here. I have always attempted to position myself at the sweet spot indicated by the biggest dot, serving both entry-level and advanced needs.

A pretty picture. For more pretty pictures, see here.
