Simulator Collection for Atomic to Continuum Scales (SCACS)

Solicitation # S-196281

The Simulator Collection for Atomic to Continuum Scales (SCACS) is an AI-driven multiscale simulation platform developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory to bridge the gap between atomic-scale physics and continuum-scale engineering. By utilizing graph neural networks and proprietary models such as SPTC-AI and SPEC-AI, the toolkit predicts spatially varying thermal and electrical transport properties across million-atom systems. This allows engineers to identify localized hot-spots and transport pathways in complex materials, significantly reducing simulation runtimes from days to minutes while maintaining high physical fidelity. The technology is highly applicable to critical industries including semiconductor packaging, fusion energy, aerospace, and quantum device manufacturing. It integrates with standard finite-element solvers to provide directionally accurate material behavior and microstructural insights. This opportunity, listed under solicitation S-196281, is available for licensing through the Department of Energy's Triad contractor, with a response deadline of February 16, 2027.
