Underperforming equipment, hidden bottlenecks, and unplanned downtime cost mines more than they realise. SimLabs delivers Ansys-powered simulation studies that show you exactly where performance is bleeding — before you spend on a fix.
Mine operators run on gut feel and outdated vendor specs. That gap between assumption and reality is where margin disappears.
Your throughput numbers look acceptable on paper — but simulation shows exactly where material flow breaks down, where energy is wasted, and what the ceiling really is.
Failure rarely comes without warning — you just can't see it. Structural and wear analysis reveals where components are under stress before they fail on shift.
One choke point can cap your entire circuit. Particle flow simulation maps where material backs up, stalls, or segregates — giving you a target, not a theory.
Are your comminution and classification stages optimised for your actual ore? Simulation validates whether you're extracting what the deposit allows — or leaving value in the tailings.
Vendors model ideal conditions. Your plant isn't ideal. We simulate your equipment against your real material properties, feed rates, and geometry — so you know what to expect before you commit.
When something breaks, guesswork is expensive. Root-cause simulation using FEA and DEM identifies the precise failure mechanism — so you fix the cause, not just the symptom.
No site visits. No retainer for headcount. You get a senior simulation study — delivered remotely, on time, with full documentation.
We define the problem, the objective, and the deliverable. You share geometry files, material data, and operational parameters. NDA executed before any data changes hands.
Our engineers construct the simulation geometry and configure material models in Ansys. DEM for bulk material flow, FEA for structural integrity, CFD for fluid dynamics.
Simulations run on dedicated hardware. Complex problems take time — we don't cut corners on fidelity. You'll receive progress updates throughout.
A full technical report with visualisations, findings, and recommendations. Followed by a debrief call. All simulation data, models, and outputs are transferred to you.
On simulation timelines: The complexity of your problem and available hardware directly determine turnaround time. A single equipment study may take 5–10 days. A full circuit optimisation can take 4–6 weeks or more. We commit to honest scope estimates upfront — and we never compromise on model quality to hit an arbitrary deadline.
These are our planned service tiers. We're taking on a small number of founding clients initially — capacity is limited by jobs in the pipeline. Register your interest and we'll discuss what fits your situation.
For mines with a specific, defined problem to solve on a monthly basis.
For plants actively optimising — running multiple studies across equipment and processes.
For operations running continuous improvement programmes or evaluating capital equipment decisions.
A single, scoped engagement. Ideal for equipment procurement decisions, feasibility studies, or post-incident analysis.
We exist to make you look smart in front of your board — not to hold your data hostage or lock you into a dependency.
A mutual non-disclosure agreement is executed before we receive any site data, geometry, or operational parameters. Your competitive information stays confidential — legally and practically.
Every model, result file, report, and visualisation produced in your engagement is transferred to you in full. SimLabs retains no rights to your simulation outputs. No exceptions.
Everything is conducted remotely. You supply the geometry and operational data; we do the engineering work. Less disruption, faster turnaround, and no travel overhead baked into your invoice.
We use industry-standard Ansys products — the same solver stack used by OEMs and major engineering consultancies. Your results are reproducible, defensible, and interpretable by any competent engineer.
Simulation fidelity requires compute time. We won't promise a 3-day turnaround on a problem that needs three weeks. Scoping calls result in an honest timeline — and we hold ourselves to it.
Subscription plans are month-to-month. If the work stops delivering value, you stop paying. We earn your business by doing good work — not by trapping you in a multi-year agreement.
SimLabs is launching with a hard limit of 5 founding clients. Capacity is managed around active jobs in the pipeline — so availability is real, not manufactured urgency.
Leave your details below. No commitment. No payment. We'll reach out to understand your situation and confirm whether we can take you on. If we can't at this stage, you'll go on the waitlist for the next available slot.
