EngSimSoft is the practice of one senior developer: camshaft and valvetrain design tools, engine gas dynamics, CFD workflows and teaching software — scoped, written, verified and supported by the same person.
Custom engineering software: the tool your team cannot buy off the shelf, built around the physics you actually work with.
Cam profile design from measured lift data, follower geometry for finger, rocker and pushrod trains, valve-spring and valvetrain dynamics, and manufacture-ready cam data — including grinding-wheel paths for CNC cam production.
1D wave-dynamics codes for intake and exhaust tuning, blowdown and scavenging analysis, plus set-up and tuning tools used by racing teams on kart, motorbike and small-car engines.
OpenFOAM case setup, solver customisation, meshing scripts and post-processing pipelines for ports, manifolds, cooling flows and in-cylinder studies — automated so engineers run cases, not paperwork.
Interactive engine simulators for universities and training centres: students change the cam, the timing or the exhaust and watch pressure waves, valve motion and the power curve respond in real time — much like the bench above, with the full physics behind it.
Thirty-year-old Fortran still runs the industry — until someone has to touch it. I refactor and modernise legacy C++/Fortran simulation codes: clean CMake builds, Python bindings, new interfaces on proven physics, and documentation the next engineer can follow.
A selection of clients and the kind of work delivered. Full references on request.
Long-term tools, not frameworks of the month. Everything runs on Windows, Linux or both, and builds reproducibly.
You talk to the person who writes the code. No account teams, no telephone game between your requirement and the commit.
A short technical call. We pin down the physics, the inputs, the outputs and what “done” means.
A working core in weeks, not months — enough to test the approach against your real data.
The production tool: solid numerics, tests, builds on your platforms, documented.
I stay with the code. Fixes, extensions and answers come from the author, directly.
Simulation software is a precision instrument. It deserves the same care as the cam it helps you grind.
Vladimír Šarandin is a Czech-based principal engineer with thirty years in engine simulation and CAE software — first an engineer who programmed, then a developer who engineers.
His career spans engineering companies in the Czech Republic, where he built calculation tools for camshaft design, engine gas dynamics and thermodynamic cycle analysis. EngSimSoft is the brand under which he now works independently for engine specialists across Europe and beyond: small enough to stay personal, experienced enough to be handed the hard problems.
Clients get one person who scopes the work, writes the code, verifies it and stands behind it. When the work is done the code stays understandable — commented like an engineer's notebook, building like a modern project, ready for the next thirty years.
Describe the physics that costs your team time. The reply comes from the engineer himself, usually within one working day.
