Professional FEM Solutions Without Enterprise Licensing Costs
We provide advanced finite element technology at a fraction of the cost of traditional commercial FEA software.
We bridge the gap between open-source flexibility and commercial-grade capability - without vendor lock-in, black boxes, or five‑figure licenses.
Why Not Just Use Open Source?
Open-source FEM tools are widely available and can be very capable. However, many teams eventually encounter trade-offs:
Significant in-house development and maintenance effort
Limited focus on specific advanced use cases
Fragile workflows when moving from experimentation to production
No clear responsibility for long-term reliability or support
MECHINMOTION offers an alternative: a professionally engineered FEM solution that delivers flexibility and transparency without requiring you to build and maintain the entire stack yourself.
What You Get Instead
1. Transparent by Design - Without Black Boxes
Our solutions are:
API-driven and fully documented
Designed to integrate cleanly with your existing codebase
Built to be extended with your own material models and formulations
You retain technical control and insight - without being locked into opaque commercial software.
2. Commercial Capability at a Realistic Cost
Traditional commercial FEA tools are priced for large enterprises.
MECHINMOTION is priced for:
Independent consultants
Small and mid‑size engineering teams
Research groups and startups
You pay a fraction of the cost - while getting capabilities typically locked behind expensive licenses.
3. Focused, High‑Value Functionality
Instead of trying to do everything, we focus on advanced use cases that matter most:
Nonlinear solid mechanics
Advanced material modeling (including plasticity)
Custom formulations and research‑grade extensions
Automation and batch simulation workflows
No bloated GUIs. No unnecessary modules.
4. Support You Can Actually Use
With open source, support depends on availability and goodwill.
With MECHINMOTION:
You talk to the people who built the solver
Questions get technical answers
Support scales with your project - not with forum replies
This is often the difference between trying and delivering.
Who MECHINMOTION Is For
MECHINMOTION is a good fit if you:
Need more than what open source provides out of the box
Cannot justify enterprise‑level license costs
Want control and transparency
Value engineering efficiency over brand names
It may not be a fit if:
Your problems are fully covered by free tools

Explicit Dynamic Analysis with the MITC4 Shell API - Now Available
Composites Material Modelling Now Included FREE with Your MRESS API Subscription
A powerful new Composite Material Modelling feature is now available for the MRESS API at no extra cost. Composite material modeling support for the Shell MITC4 and MCYSE APIs will be available shortly.
We develop APIs for the Finite Element Method
Custom solutions for the computational modelling in mechanical, civil, aerospace, and manufacturing engineering.
Assumed Natural Strain (ANS), Enhanced Assumed Strain (EAS), and Reduced Integration (RI) technologies to alleviate different locking pathologies while optimising CPU efficiency.
Our APIs allow easy customisation of the FE package, resulting in a significantly more cost-effective FE simulation when compared with traditional commercial FE software.
As a PhD or Post-Doc, you can focus entirely on your project work and leave the coding of FE methods to our APIs.
Ideal for Academia & Individual Customers
Ideal for Small & Medium Enterprises
Affordable and dedicated APIs, along with comprehensive FE packages, designed for running numerical simulations at SMEs.
GUI for pre-processing
We have affordable GUI solutions for pre-processing tasks such as importing meshes, defining materials, properties, boundary conditions, loading, etc.
GUI for post-processing
We support our customers with GUI post-processing solutions for FEA visualisation using our APIs.
