Next-Generation Rod Lift Design
RodSim is the industry's most advanced rod lift design software—with fast simulations, improved wellbore fidelity, detailed stress analysis, and real-time collaboration.
Desktop Tools Slow Engineering Teams Down
Legacy software creates bottlenecks that cost time and money
Hours of waiting
Desktop simulations can consume hours of engineering time per well
Single-user bottleneck
Desktop files prevent teams from collaborating effectively
Preventable rod failures
Inaccurate stress calculations lead to unexpected equipment failures
Professional Rod Lift Engineering Platform
Advanced simulation engine with superior geometry modeling, stress analysis, and team collaboration. Built for professional petroleum engineers who demand accuracy and speed.




High-Resolution Path Modeling
Cubic spline interpolation refines wellbore trajectory modeling for improved stress calculations. High-resolution path modeling eliminates artificial angles and false stress concentrations common in legacy desktop tools.
Stress & Load Visualization
Color-coded stress distribution maps update dynamically as you adjust inputs. Real-time axial tension/compression graphs with calculated percentage of critical buckling load throughout the string.
Taper Design Assistant
Dogleg severity graph with visual taper overlay shows optimal transitions. Identify stress concentrations before they cause field failures. Drag-and-drop rod grade selection with real-time optimization feedback.
Custom Velocity Profiles
Simulate variable-speed drives (VSDs) and intra-stroke velocity changes. Calculate rod forces and fatigue behavior for wells with advanced motion control and optimize pump fillage with custom surface velocity patterns.
PDF Export & Reporting
Generate professional PDF reports with complete taper design, rod forces, and buckling analysis. Structured documentation for peer review, regulatory compliance, and client deliverables.
Import & Reset Management
Native RodStar/SRod file import with Excel survey auto-detection of MD, inclination, and azimuth. Reset any data element to original imported values while preserving design iterations for comparison.
Industry-Standard Compliant
Industry-standard algorithms verified against field data for accurate calculations
10-foot Resolution
High-precision modeling with detailed step resolution for complex wells
Fast Cloud Processing
Cloud infrastructure delivers results quickly vs lengthy legacy desktop wait times
Buoyancy & Guide Analysis
