Soft-body simulation shows how a design bends, dents and breaks, not just where the stress goes. It is also expensive to run. The solver needs dedicated CPU time, so most teams end up waiting on a workstation or a licence before they can try an idea.

OpenBeam Cloud moves all of that onto our hardware. You open a test in a browser tab and watch it run.

## What it runs on

OpenBeam Cloud runs on OpenBeam, our open-source soft-body engine. Every vehicle, robot and structure is a set of nodes joined by beams, and each beam has its own stiffness, yield point and breaking force. The solver steps at a fixed 2 kHz on dedicated cores, so a crash plays out the way the structure says it should.

## What you can do with it

- Script tests in AngelScript or Lua, and run many variations in parallel.
- Drive vehicles and operate robot arms live while the solver runs.
- Record runs with their inputs and physics data in sync, then replay them frame by frame.
- Upload your own vehicles, robots, scripts and maps.
- Run one simulation with several people at once.

## From the test bench

Run experiments in parallel: **A sports car into a rigid wall, from 0.25 s before contact to 1.5 s after.** Top row: a 37 km/h head-on hit. Rows two to four: three high-speed runs, each filmed from a different camera.

A coupe hits a rigid wall at 86 km/h. The crumple zone folds and the cabin keeps its shape.

Dropped 12 m, the suspension runs out of travel and the body takes the rest of the impact.

## Pricing

Personal is $30 a month for 30 simulation hours. Business, for teams, is planned at $150 a month and is not open yet. Enterprise runs inside your own network; [talk to us](mailto:Beshoy@openbeam.world?subject=OpenBeam%20Cloud%20Enterprise).

## Join the beta

Every new account gets a 14-day free trial with 3 simulation hours, no card.
