Modelling and Simulation

Our experts can create suitable models to accurately predict your part’s behaviour in their use  environment, to help optimise the design and verify its safety and adherence to appropriate standards. ​

We can model a wide range of conditions across a range of sectors and applications, from simple static loading to dynamic analysis for instances like a crash or bird strike, to durability in extreme environments. ​

Working with our materials testing team, we can also develop and deliver the required test programmes for creating the input data, and validating the output predictions of performance and failure models. 

Leveraging virtual manufacturing, we can predict and improve the quality, and time to manufacture of your part design before you start to incur costs for physical materials or equipment. This significantly de-risks investment and reduces the amount of trial error required for your product or process development. ​

​Our industry leading experts for this capability can model a range of composite and non-composite manufacturing processes such as press forming, injection moulding, braiding, resin infusion and curing. 

In addition to physics-based modelling, we have expertise in artificial intelligence methodologies such as machine learning to develop data-driven predictions that help accelerate design, product and process development. ​

Possessing engineering knowledge and artificial intelligence capability, we can acquire the necessary data and employ the correct data science models to solve your problem. ​

​In partnership with the University of Bristol, the National Composites Centre will be hosting the UK’s most powerful high-performance computer (HPC), Isambard AI, that will accelerate researchers and industry in AI-driven breakthroughs. ​
