What does Symoptia offer?

Practical solutions for complex ideas, with the help of:



  • Modeling & simulation

    System-level and physical modeling that answers real engineering questions. Built on deep experience with Modelica, Python, MATLAB, and numerical methods for thermodynamic and mechanical systems.

  • FMI expertise

    Standard-level knowledge of the Functional Mock-up Interface — not just using FMI, but having helped shape it. Architect and lead developer of the FMI Compliance Checker, and a contributor to the FMI standard itself. Connecting tools, exchanging models across environments, and applying FMI where it delivers.

  • DevOps

    Modern DevOps brought to engineering software development: automated regression testing, reproducible builds, CI/CD, packaging, and licensing. The practices that keep simulation projects fast, robust, and trustworthy — drawn from years running exactly this kind of infrastructure for a commercial simulation platform

  • AI-assisted development

    Specification-driven development with AI agents — writing precise specs, then using AI to implement and test them. A faster path from intent to working software, with quality held in place by disciplined review

ABOUT

Iakov Nakhimovski

Symoptia was started in 2025. Behind it is 20+ years of solving hard problems in simulation software and system modeling — across automotive, aerospace, and HVAC/thermal management, and spanning embedded systems, desktop tools, and cloud platforms. That includes direct contribution to the FMI standard and years of technical leadership on Modelica-based simulation products. I have a PhD in computer Science from Linköping University, Sweden and am a contributor to the FMI standard!
