Introducing
tanuki.

The intelligent platform for engineering and research. Describe your problem, and Tanuki builds the geometry, runs the simulation, and delivers interactive results.

Tanuki handles geometry, meshing, multi-physics simulation, and interactive visualisation. You just describe what you need.

Geometry from language

Describe any object and Tanuki generates simulation-ready 3D geometry. Refine shapes, add features, or fix problems through follow-up instructions.

Interactive 3D results in the browser

Explore stress, displacement, temperature, and velocity fields in a live 3D viewer. Inspect results from any angle, scrub through time steps.

Structural, thermal, and fluid physics

Run elasticity, heat conduction, incompressible flow, and shallow water simulations. Modal analysis, shape optimisation, and adjoint sensitivity methods are built in.

Real-world environments, simulation-ready

Build ocean meshes, terrain models, and geographic domains from a place name. Real coastlines, seafloor bathymetry, and satellite-derived ice boundaries are incorporated automatically.

Science at the frontier.
Problems that matter.

Case Study

Re-thickening
Arctic Sea Ice

The Arctic is losing ice at an unprecedented rate. ARIA's Re-thickening Arctic Sea Ice programme, a £9.9 million initiative led by the University of Cambridge, is investigating whether pumping seawater onto ice surfaces during the polar winter can restore ice volume at scale.

Tanuki provides the simulation modelling that underpins this research: high-fidelity computational mechanics applied to one of the defining challenges of our time.

We built Tanuki because we believe the most advanced simulation technology should be in the hands of the researchers and engineers working on the problems that will shape our future. Climate science is where that conviction meets reality.
