Design Simulation Research Centre, Bournemouth University

The Design Simulation Research Centre offers advanced simulation for product development, including prototype making and testing. With the help of simulation, complex systems can be designed, developed and tested all within the virtual environment, helping to reduce cost and minimise the number of un-necessary design iterations.

Research is focused in the themes of virtual manufacturing processes, intelligent computational mechanics and creative design. Some current areas of research include:

• Rapid manufacture
• Tool design and optimisation for injection moulding 
• Hybrid inverse problem engines
• Real time direct and inverse solution of numerical techniques 
• Mechanical design simulations 
• Aero-elasticity
• Composite materials
• Smart composite structures 
• Condition monitoring
• Creative design tools and processes
