Multi-scale/physics simulation

Our research lab specializes in multi-scale and multi-physics finite element simulations, a powerful computational approach that allows us to model and analyze complex material behaviors across different scales and physical phenomena. This technique is crucial for understanding how materials respond to various environments from microscopic and macroscopic perspective. By integrating multiple physical models—such as mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties—we can optimize material design, predict performance, and improve the reliability of components used in industries. Through this advanced simulation methodology, we are able to accelerate the development of cutting-edge materials and technologies while reducing experimentation time and costs.
