Company

SDTools is an independent and privately owned software development company that provides off the shelf scientific libraries called from the MATLAB environment and consulting services to implement custom applications using these libraries.

SDTools was formed in 2001 by Etienne Balmes to transform the original academic Structural Dynamics Toolbox, sold by Scientific Software Group (now The MathWorks, France) since 1995, to a fully professional product. SDTools retains strong ties with the MSSMat Laboratory of Ecole Centrale Paris, where Etienne Balmes heads the Vibration research group with current PhD thesis funded by EDF, SNECMA and ONERA.

In 2002 SDTools partnered with INRIA to combine efforts in the development of a general purpose multi-physics finite element library OpenFEM. This joint effort greatly augments the number of people involved in developing FEM capabilities distributed with SDTools products.

SDTools is officially recognized as a research organization by the French Ministry of Education and Research.
