RodSim delivers fast simulations directly in your browser versus lengthy desktop calculations. Engineers access designs from any location without software installation, IT support, or version control issues. Our cloud platform provides automatic saves, version history, and team collaboration that desktop tools cannot match.

No IT installation or support required. RodSim runs entirely in modern web browsers through secure SSO integration. Engineers access the platform instantly with their company credentials—no desktop software, no local files, no VPN requirements. Your IT team simply approves SSO access and engineers start designing immediately.

Yes. RodSim enables real-time collaboration through our cloud platform. Engineers can clone designs, create variations, and compare scenarios side-by-side. Role-based permissions ensure proper access control while maintaining complete audit trails of all design changes and iterations.

All simulations remain accessible to your organization through role-based access control. When engineers change roles or leave, their work persists in your company's PetroBench account. Regional Admins maintain full access to reassign simulations, ensuring no engineering knowledge is lost during personnel transitions.

RodSim directly imports native RodStar and SRod files without conversion. Simply drag and drop your existing files—the platform automatically maps configurations to our data model. Excel directional surveys import with automatic detection of MD, inclination, and azimuth headers. You can reset any data element to original imported values while preserving design iterations.

Yes. Create and maintain custom rod grades, pumping units, and equipment specifications specific to your operations. These custom libraries are shared across your organization's regions and groups, ensuring consistency in designs while reducing duplicate data entry.

RodSim calculates the percentage of critical buckling load throughout the entire rod string—not just flagging negative loads. The analysis accounts for buoyancy effects, guide spacing, wellbore deviation, and dogleg severity. Color-coded visualizations instantly show where buckling risk is highest, enabling proactive design adjustments.

Cubic spline interpolation provides smoother, more realistic wellbore path modeling than minimum curvature methods. This eliminates artificial angles and sharp transitions that cause false stress concentrations in traditional tools. The result is more accurate taper alignment, better guide placement, and reduced failure risk—especially in highly deviated wells with aggressive build rates.
