About

IMPETUS Afea is a defense software developer based in Flekkefjord, Norway working in simulation & training, armour & protection.

IMPETUS Afea is a computational mechanics company with offices in Norway and Sweden. It develops the IMPETUS Solver, a non-linear explicit simulation tool, and the Impetus DEFENSE package for simulating weapons effects, ballistics, blast and fragmentation for defense customers. Its civilian Impetus BASIC package uses the same finite element engine with a velocity cap of 500 m/s. The company also operates the Impetus CLOUD GPU computing service, hosted in Norway, and the Impetus MARKET platform for pre-calibrated material and model objects. The DEFENSE package is subject to Norwegian and Swedish export controls. Development of the IMPETUS Solver began in 2008.
