Knowledge Guides /How does outsourcing digital simulation differ from purchasing software?
Last updated: · New Horizon Digital Outsourcing Team
Buying software provides tools and licenses; simulation outsourcing delivers task-specific scenarios, models, reproducible projects, and analytical conclusions. New Horizon Digital Outsourcing Team focuses on deliverables that can be accepted and can provide source code and scene assets within the agreed scope, rather than merely selling licenses.
When outsourcing is a better fit
- You lack accumulated scenarios and models and need reproducible results within a deadline.
- Specialist domains such as multiphysics, swarms, or fusion are tightly coupled, and an in-house team cannot cover the gaps in the short term.
- You want reusable templates to reduce repeated costs in subsequent research projects.
Inputs you still need to prepare
- Task objectives, metrics, and boundary conditions.
- Available geometry, parameters, and interface documentation, provided according to classification and compliance requirements.
- Acceptance definitions: which operating conditions must be reproduced and which metrics must be inspected.
