Behind the name

When we created Jixie we wanted a name that would be expressive in both English and Chinese to reflect our multicultural team.  To that end we choose the name Jixie, which in English evokes the word pixie while in Chinese our full name is 极械电幻, Jíxiè Diànhuàn, 极  means extreme or peak, 械 is a shortened word for mechanics, and 电幻 translates to electric phantom.  In combination it paints an image of an electronic pixie that provides ultimate control over the simulated mechanics of the natural world.
