Simulator Collection for Atomic to Continuum Scales (SCACS)

Solicitation # S-196281

The Simulator Collection for Atomic to Continuum Scales (SCACS), identified by solicitation number S-196281, is an AI-driven multiscale simulation platform developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory to predict spatially varying, direction-dependent thermal and electrical transport in systems of up to one million atoms. By utilizing proprietary Site-Projected Thermal Conductivity (SPTC-AI) and Site-Projected Electronic Conductivity (SPEC-AI) modules, the toolkit bridges the gap between high-fidelity atomistic physics and continuum-scale engineering models. The system employs graph neural networks and FEniCSx-based solver modules, such as sptc2fem and spec2fem, to generate precise temperature and current maps while maintaining atomic-scale anisotropy. This allows engineers to identify localized hot-spots and transport pathways that are typically missed by conventional continuum models, reducing simulation runtimes from days to minutes. Currently at Technology Readiness Level 4 with a pending U.S. patent and associated software T5032, SCACS is offered as a licensing opportunity through the Richard P. Feynman Center for Innovation. The technology is designed for seamless integration with industry-standard finite-element solvers like Abaqus and has broad commercial applications in semiconductor advanced packaging, fusion energy systems, aerospace, battery thermal management, and quantum device manufacturing. The opportunity is managed by the Department of Energy via Triad, with a response deadline of February 16, 2027.
