DESIGN

Solving new challenging industrial and societal problems through scientific computing and collaboration

DESIGN (abbreviated from Advanced Simulation MEthods for Integrated multi-Disciplinary INdustrial DesiGn) was a project conducted together with SCOMA center (Scientific Computing and Optimization in Multidisciplinary Applications). The project proposed a scientific computing based road map for the technology knowledge transfer for industrial multidisciplinary applications in Finland by fostering the collaboration between research and application groups working together on the multi-disciplinary design field via a general integrated framework. Also, under the umbrella of SCOMA, another purpose of the project was to alert and educate young scientists and engineers from universities, research laboratories and industries how work together and share the knowledge in an integrated platform.

The underlying aim of the project was to master Multidisciplinary Simulation, Optimization and Control techniques for solving new challenging industrial and societal problems, as well as to promote and facilitate innovative international multidisciplinary research and technologies with immediate transfer to society and industries. The targeted impact of this transfer in industry was the reduction of costs during the design and manufacturing phases of new products.

The project is linked to ALADDIN through its topics of design, product improvement and optimization. It took place in 2007-2010.
