SCAI's Multi-Disciplinary Research Projects

In its role as an organisation for applied research Fraunhofer SCAI participates in various national or European funded projects. SCAI uses these projects to investigate new technical approaches and to extend the usage and experience with coupled simulation environments. There are different fields of research in which SCAI is involved with the goal to improve MpCCI functionality and usability:

• Project INGRID Future platforms for distributed computing
• Project KOPFEM DDFEM - a highly scalable FEM code
• Project IMAUF Simulation of Elastic Stamping Tools
• Project SCAIMapper Coupled manufacturing chains Stamping-Heat Treatment-Crash
• Project 3ZM GRIMEX Flood Simulation
