Faster product design cycles with modeling!
The CLICKdesign project is developing a performance based specification protocol to enable a software tool for architects, specifiers and the public to embed service life performance specification for wood. This will help increase market confidence with users for selecting wood as a reliable product and enhance an optimised performance of timber in the built environment.
The model simulates changes in area energy indicators such as total demand, total supply and net energy positivity. Changes to energy demand and supply occur when new buildings are built. These buildings are assigned energy demands, electric vehicle charging capacity, and photovoltaic installations. The demand and supply side both feature dynamics that can be influenced by various public policy and city planner actions.
HYGRO tool calculates moisture content in treated or untreated wood element in selected location. It is based on the latest FEM models used in VTT's properTune for Wood in commercial projects. In this online demo, you can obtain moisture content in 2D cross-section with top face exposed to external temperature and relative humidity.
Corrosion is the most important materials failure mechanism in industry and annually responsible for the costs amounting approximately to 2 trillion €. The aims of this work are to provide tools that allow to minimize the corrosion losses in raw materials sector by providing real-time information on materials performance of corrosion-resistant alloys under the harsh operation conditions, and by further elaborating the information in the corrosion prediction and materials selection tool with the use of computational modelling.

Internationally, ambitious targets for reducing Green House Gases (GHG) emissions are setting challenges for complex systems engineering in the energy, manufacturing and transport sectors. For example, the EU has set a target of reducing GHG emissions 20% by 2020 and 40% by 2030. Rechargeable car batteries play a vital role in reducing carbon footprint, but they contain several different types of heavy metal and toxic chemical wastes.
