Numerical modelling – Applications to sustainable developement

Numerical simulation is gaining ground in the industrial world, and is making a major contribution to innovation in this sector, meeting two main objectives:

• control of technical risks, enabling the preparation of regulatory dossiers, demonstrations of safety and reliability, environmental impact studies, etc. ... ;

• economic performance: it helps to optimize products, demonstrate their robustness, predict their performance and reduce their manufacturing and operating costs.

This technique, some of whose uses, practices and innovation challenges are described in the article
