Digital Twins 4 Aerospace presentations

Written by Ubaldo Cella on 17 Jan 2023

The University of Rome “Tor Vergata” guested, December 14th, the workshop titled Digital Twins 4 Aerospace: CAE modelling of future mobility. The event was an occasion for researchers and engineers, from both academia and industry, to present the status of research in numerical analysis and design methodologies in the aerospace field. The topics focused on tools suitable to improve the design process of aircraft, rockets and satellites but it also offered the opportunity to highlighted how other field of engineering can benefit from the availability of numerical tools able to efficiently model the physics involved in complex mechanical systems. The workshop was organized by Marco Evangelos Biancolini and Ubaldo Cella, respectively Professor of Machine Design and researcher at the Enterprise Engineering department “Mario Lucertini”.
