In 1989, five academics from the University of Valenciennes saw a certain future in digital simulation. They then created CIMES, a company independent of the university. Since then, time has proved them right. The evolution of simulation software as well as that of computing power now makes it possible to simulate all the physical phenomena necessary in the deployment of new industrial solutions. Since then, CIMES has assisted its clients with a total commitment to validation by integrating test engineering, data management, and connected metrology. CIMES now responds to general challenges of appraisals and product validation.
Numerical simulation represents a real hope of development for all industries. These 30 years of experience has brought us recognition from the largest manufacturers, and enables us to support you daily and to make further progress together. Our most important commitment remains the quality of our work, which is the reason our clients place their confidence in us.

Our business sectors
Our commitments and certifications
The world of simulation is constantly evolving. We owe it to ourselves to stay at the forefront of new simulation technologies. For this reason, we are CIR accredited, proof of our commitment to research and innovation. As part of our quality commitments to our clients, we are ISO9001 and EN9100 certified, allowing you to have sufficient confidence to call on our services. Our expertise in simulation also allows us to be an accredited training organisation.
The CIR accreditation shows a strong commitment by the company to be part of innovative R&D initiatives.
This accreditation allows our clients to benefit from a 30% tax reduction if the project is part of an innovation process.
For several years now, we have been ISO9001 and EN9100 certified. Our quality approach is improving year by year to bring you ever greater satisfaction.
CIMES's expertise in numerical simulation means it is accredited today as a training organisation, which enables it to offer training on all the products distributed.
