Simulation should be a map, not a maze.
Naksha started with a simple frustration: getting one honest structural answer often takes four programs, three file translations and a meshing study. We're building one workbench that removes those steps.
In Hindi and Urdu, a naksha is a map or an engineering drawing. The name is about what simulation should give you: a clear picture of how a design will behave, drawn quickly enough to change the design.
How we build it
Honest numbers
We publish benchmark errors, including the bad ones. A fast answer is only useful if you know how far to trust it.
Open by default
We build on proven open-source solvers and libraries, and we read and write other tools' formats so your models aren't locked in.
Fast on real models
We test on production CAD and multi-million-element meshes, not just textbook cubes.
Engineers stay in charge
Automation and AI assistants can do the clicking. Decisions and confirmations stay with you.
Built by Effileap
Naksha is developed by Effileap Technologies, a technology company in Trivandrum, India. Effileap builds custom software, AI and automation for businesses. With Naksha, it brings that engineering to simulation.
Built on the shoulders of giants.
Naksha works with, and builds on, these projects. We're grateful to their authors and communities.

Build it with us.
We're looking for engineering teams to shape the roadmap, and for people who'd like to help build it.
