A research group at the University at Buffalo is sharing simulation expertise across a wide variety of industries through custom simulation applications. These apps allow an end user to perform the desired analyses without needing the understanding and expertise that is required to develop the underlying computational model.
Look at any industry today, from automotive design to consumer electronics, and you will find a common thread that binds them together: the demand for more innovative technology. The latest and greatest technologies are continuously surpassed by even more complex and intricate devices that offer advanced features and functionality.
Numerical simulation tools are a viable solution to the challenge of creating more elaborate devices quickly, delivering results with real-world accuracy without the need for building prototypes for each design modification. Some organisations, however, may not have the resources to bring a simulation expert on board to help create and modify models. This is where simulation applications come in. These customised user interfaces are built around numerical simulations of physics-based systems and allow an end user to run multiphysics analyses set up for them by simulation specialists…
Poll: Should the UK’s railways be renationalised?
The term innovation is bandied about in relation to rail almost as a mantra. Everything has to be innovative. There is precious little evidence of...
