Rheinmetall will be using Algoryx’s technology AGX Dynamics in their simulators of cranes, anchor handling and vehicles, where accurate, stable and fast physics simulations are required to provide true-to-life operator training and engineering precision.

“The decision for the co-operation with Algoryx has been a success for us. The integration of Algoryx’s physics engine AGX Dynamics has essentially contributed to reach a new level of fidelity and quality for our maritime simulation system. Furthermore, the competent and excellent technical support of Algoryx has allowed for a faster time-to-market for our new offshore simulation systems. We are looking forward to extend this co-operation on other fields of our simulation portfolio too”, says Thomas Goldberg, Project Manager, Maritime Simulation, Rheinmetall AG.

“Rheinmetall is a leading provider of simulator systems and we are proud that they have selected our physics simulation engine AGX Dynamics as one of their core technologies,” says Kenneth Bodin, CEO Algoryx.
