Add-ins for the Synera platform.

A suite of Raphos add-ins that bring physics, optimization and connectivity to Synera — the visual-programming and automation platform for engineering.

Synera (formerly ELISE) is a low-code, visual-programming platform that lets engineering teams capture their know-how as automated workflows — connecting CAD, CAE, PLM and data into a single, repeatable graph. Raphos builds and maintains a family of add-ins that extend Synera with capabilities our clients asked for: a fast physics solver, an optimizer, automatic cable and pipe routing, research-grade mesh and point-cloud processing, productivity tools, and connectors to external simulation, MATLAB and the Microsoft 365 / Power Platform stack.

Each add-in is developed in close partnership with the Synera team and tuned for production use — robust, fast and engineered to slot into real automation pipelines rather than one-off scripts. Together they let designers go from geometry to a validated, optimized result without leaving the Synera canvas.
