Research Activities
We conduct research on knowledge management for engineering design, including how to capture, store, retrieve and re-use design knowledge; we also work on collaborative design and simulation, where different simulation models may be integrated to solve design problems. Design optimisation using the finite element method and hybrid 3D parametric and freedom modelling of complex geometries are also current research topics we explore.
