History
The development of JMatPro® started in 1999 and was initially funded by an international consortium of companies and institutions who were looking into extending the use of thermodynamic databases to develop the capability to predict a wide range of physical and mechanical properties for complex alloys.
Sente Software Ltd. was created in 2001 to take responsibility for the long term commercial development of JMatPro®. It now leads the development of the new scientific capabilities in JMatPro® alongside the development of its powerful graphical user interface.
All of our products combine industrial relevance with realistic physical models and user-friendly interfaces.
We have a proven track record for innovation and our products incorporate a thorough validation process.
