FFrenetic
Frenetic is a Madrid-based startup that builds an AI-powered software platform for designing and simulating magnetic components (transformers, inductors, planar magnetics) used in power electronics, cutting design timelines from months to about a week. It serves aerospace & defense, automotive EV, medical device, and industrial manufacturing clients including NASA, GE, Bosch, Thales, Infineon and Sumida, and has expanded with a Silicon Valley office. Founded in 2015, it has raised roughly €17-19M total, most recently an €11.2M Series A led by Kibo Ventures (Nov 2023).

RRescale
United States · rescale.com ↗
Sells engineering simulation software to aerospace, automotive and industrial companies on subscription, now adding AI to speed up design work, much as Frenetic does for magnetics.
$260MComparable
PPhysicsX
United Kingdom · www.physicsx.ai ↗
Sells AI simulation and design-optimisation software to aerospace, automotive and energy manufacturers, replacing slow physics simulation with AI models, which is Frenetic's model applied more broadly.
$175MComparable
NNeural Concept
Switzerland · www.neuralconcept.com ↗
Sells AI software to automotive and aerospace customers such as Bosch-type suppliers and OEMs, predicting how a design will perform and cutting design cycles from months to days.
$130MComparable
SSimScale
Germany · www.simscale.com ↗
Sells cloud simulation software (structural, thermal, fluid and electromagnetic) on subscription to hardware engineering teams, adding AI to speed up design.
$60MComparable
QQuilter
United States · www.quilter.ai ↗
Sells AI software that automates the design of one type of electronics hardware (circuit boards) for engineering teams, the same narrow electronics-design automation play Frenetic makes for magnetic components.
