MEng in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering

Simulation-driven Design

Simulation-driven Design is a crucial discipline for any engineer or designer looking to excel in their field. Simulations, in which computers predict the behaviour and performance of a design, have proven to be a powerful tool in various industries including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.

Simulations allow for the exploration of multiple design options and the assessment of performance under various operating conditions. This not only saves time and resources, it allows engineers to make informed decisions that lead to the development of efficient and reliable products.

Simulation-driven Design provides a unique opportunity to optimise designs and streamline the design process. By utilising simulation driven design, engineers can provide accurate and reliable results that were previously unattainable. The integration of high performance computer systems and global optimisation algorithms has taken Simulation-driven Design to a whole new level.
