product: Vitruvius

Faster than real time, GPU accelerated, bio-thermal analysis software.

human modeling and simulation software

  • Faster than real-time, GPU accelerated, bio-thermal analysis software
  • Models localized moving beam and whole-body plane-wave electromagnetic exposures
  • Morphs and reposes digital human phantoms
  • Easy to use graphical user interface

Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, commonly known as Vitruvius, was a Roman author, architect, civil engineer, and military engineer during the 1st century BC. One of his achievements was defining the proportions of the human body, as drawn later by Leonardo da Vinci. The name of our software, Vitruvius, pays homage to this early work of understanding the human body. This software tool provides the capability to pose and morph digital human phantoms, and to perform faster-than-real-time bio-thermal analysis.
