Avila Labs / Independent research & software
Open tools for
engineering research.
We build and publish software for magnet design, nuclear analysis, fusion systems, and BNCT research. Start with a browser tool, read its handbook, or explore the source.

01 / Software
Software and research tools
Public tools for browser-based work, scientific workflows, and early desktop research.
Magnet design
Change the schematic winding pack while the aperture stays fixed. This is an illustration, not a design calculation.
Converra
Explore REBCO magnet windings
Prepare and compare winding designs against field and geometry requirements. Search and compare calculations run locally in your browser.
Open source · browser tool
BNCT research
The boron-capture contribution to physical dose. Biological weighting is a separate step.
OpenBNCT
Calculate and compare BNCT dose
Run supported case, dose, and analysis workflows in the browser. External particle-transport and other solver processes run on your desktop or CLI.
Open source · research workbench
Nuclear analysis
Start with material, a particle-flux spectrum, and an irradiation schedule.
ACTINV
Calculate activation and decay
The installed solver calculates nuclide inventories, activity, decay heat, and photon sources. The browser prepares problems and views or compares results; activation solving runs in the Python and CLI software.
Open source · Python and CLI
Fusion research
Early desktop demo. Geometry preview and explicit cold-reference transport workflow; scientific qualification is NOT_EVALUATED.
FARIS
Explore fusion systems and transport
An early native desktop demo for reactor geometry and explicit cold-reference transport studies. Its default scene is a geometry preview.

02 / How we work
Make the work inspectable.
We define the question and the checks, preserve calculation inputs, and state what the evidence can support. The worked example below follows a magnet design; the same review principles apply across our projects.
01 / DefineEXAMPLE / MAGNET DESIGN
Set the design requirements.
Specify the target field, aperture, and operating conditions. Choose a baseline winding and decide which design parameters can change.
- Requirement
- Hold the target field and aperture fixed.
- Inputs
- Identify the baseline winding and material data.
- Criteria
- Set cost targets and operating limits.
What this producesRequirements and a baseline design
Each calculation comes with a record. Requirements, inputs, model versions, and check results stay together.

Avila Core
Requirements↓Tools & evidence↓Check results
Requirements and evidence for engineering tools.
Avila Core is a pre-alpha CLI and native desktop project for compiling requirements with calculation records and checks. A separate browser library provides templates and a workspace preview; it does not host scientific solvers.
Core is pre-alpha. The browser library is separate from the CLI and desktop project; it does not run hosted scientific calculations or certify engineering work.

Research and publications
Read the methods, numerical studies, and documented limits behind our research software.
Bounds on dose and shielding response.
Avify studies how to bound a calculated response when the inputs are uncertain. Dose and Shield apply these methods to BNCT dose and radiation shielding.
