Cubic Engine
Industrial-scale simulations
DICE Computing is the maker of Cubic, the world’s first Heterarchical Granular Dynamics software for simulating as many particles needed at true-industrial scale. Industrial processes involving granular materials are inherently multiscale. The behaviour of individual grains governs the performance of entire plants.
Our physics engine models how particulate material moves on average, so you can analyse large systems over long time horizons without the computational cost of tracking every particle. The result is a simulation framework that is dramatically faster, inherently scalable, and capable of handling any number of particles.
Our physics engine excels across broad particle size distributions and accurately captures segregation, mixing, and particle breakage — all within a single unified software.
Our unique approach to industrial problems opens new pathways for:Outputs
Cubic transforms particle complexity into smooth, continuous fields—revealing key insights instantly, anywhere in the domain. Decide faster with confidence.

Where particle methods struggle
As system size and simulation duration grow, particle-by-particle approaches can become impractical for day-to-day engineering decisions.
Computation cost rises quickly with domain sizeLong-time behavior requires very large run times
Wide size distributions and breakage increase complexity
