Modeling and simulation are seen as the future discipline of science and research, with new impulses expected for both science and industry. What makes modeling and simulation exciting is that mathematical, natural science, and engineering disciplines work together on future tools.
As the work of SIMNET Styria has shown, Styria already has a great potential of scientists who work together with Styrian companies on the development and application of modeling and simulation.
Within the network, SIMNET Styria focuses on the further development of key areas, including multiscale modeling, lightweight construction, optimization of the shape and form of bodies, flow simulation to describe the processes of flowing gases or liquids, geotechnics, stochastic processes, and applied mathematics.
Internationally, Styria does not need to shy away from comparison in its specific areas of "Computational Science and Engineering." "The strategy of focusing on specific areas of modeling and simulation and building on strengths has already been successful in other Styrian areas of strength such as nanotechnology," says Dr. Martha Mühlburger, manager of SIMNET Styria. The interactive exchange of leading researchers in a structured network and the advancement of simulation by this group in Styria is already showing first successes.
