Small Business Awards 2025 | 17 Made in Cambridge but consisting of global talent, Cambridge MultiPhysics Limited (CMP) provides simulation as a service across multiphysics, science, and technology applications. Thanks to a unique blend of advanced computational multiphysics simulation capability, enterprise-grade security, and ease of use, the exceptional products delivered by the company boast a range of applications, and are complemented by integrated model building, visualisation, and post-processing abilities. Exploring this process a little further, these products all run on massively parallel, cloud-native computer architectures on a simulation-as-a-service basis, and the fact that they are able to be accessed through a web-enabled app that is both secure and which can be accessed 24/7 from any desktop or mobile device promotes accessibility and intuitive use. This is seen further through its user interface, which has been designed to make even nonexpert users more effective in industry simulation and analysis technology adoption. “The SaaS platform reduces the burden on end-user companies to provide infrastructure and IT integration skills to deploy simulation and analysis in their organisations and ensures all calculations use the latest release of each module.” As all of this shows, the aim here is to democratise deep tech. As a CMP spokesperson told us: “Our experienced, highly trained team develop the underlying methods and we then design a user interface that makes the simulations accessible. Typically, these types of simulations have many complex interacting parameters and involve the lengthy setup of software and environments. We do all that work behind the scenes so that a non-expert user can step up and run a simulation.” The interactive graphical results collected are then used for direct interpretation or saved for a larger analysis. This is incredibly useful for a whole host of companies, with the combination of in-silico experiments alongside physical The products offered by Cambridge MultiPhysics Limited, a leading simulation as a service company specialising in the development and marketing of cloud-native simulation and analysis software products for engineering/ science, are the result of a 25-year research project carried out at the University of Cambridge. These products demonstrate advanced computational multiphysics simulation capabilities for problems across interactions of the four states of matter at extreme conditions. Below, we unpack what exactly all of this means. Best Clean Energy Simulation Technology Company 2025 – UK experiments helping to speed up the development process and offer a deeper understanding of some of these underlying processes. The pivotal ‘what ifs’ these analyses allow for are crucial in safety-critical systems, and their use with novel technologies – where experiments can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds at a time – offer an extra layer of confidence across both design and safety protocols alike. These elements discussed above converge to form what is the overall mission of CMP: to put these advanced computational simulation capabilities into the hands of non-expert users, in the process supporting engineers and managers as they design and operate their complex systems with the maximum safety, confidence, and effectiveness. A huge part of hitting these target areas comes from the team behind CMP actively fostering client relationships, ensuring that the products they deliver directly impact the needs of their businesses. By directly feeding into their operational needs, rather than simply offering what it believes they want, every level of a business can interact directly with these simulations, eradicating the need for specialist departments to run the simulations and analyse the results. This approach solves the problems previously considered to be intractable. Finally, looking ahead to the next steps for CMP, the focus is channeled directly to driving the development of fusion energy. With solutions for equilibrium states already available in the product suite the next phase is introducing methods to capture non-equilibrium behaviours, including a software product for the simulation and analysis of fusion plasma disruption events in geometrically arbitrary reactors. The ability to simulate such behaviour allows for greater understanding and mitigation concerning instabilities. As well as this, a more advanced product is the next step towards the simulation of operational conditions and events across the entire plasma confinement time, allowing for the reproduction and exploration of realistic fusion power plant conditions. This comes on the back of the company having recently been awarded a project in the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s (UKAEA) Industry Simulation Software for Fusion programme, this relating to ‘liquid metal magnetohydrodynamics in non-uniform magnetic fields and subject to external heating’. The programme, a multi-year, rolling project designed to engage industry and both demonstrate simulation software capabilities and accelerate knowledge transfer when it comes to delivering commercial fusion power plants, aligns with CMP’s goals, underpinning the impact the company has in this dynamic sector. Recognised as the Best Clean Energy Simulation Technology Company 2025 – UK as a result of its cloud-native computational multiphysics simulation of fusion plasma and other such nextgeneration capabilities, further details of Cambridge MultiPhysics Limited, its products, services, and its team can be found at the website link listed below.
