It is desirable to perform optimizations during the product development process to ensure that the products are optimal from views such as cost, performance, endurance and weight.

Computer Aided Product Development

I work as a lecturer and specialist in the field of computer aided product development.

This means how a product or component should be modeled and optimized to ensure that it fulfills the customer and design requirements. These demands and goals should be balanced against each other to achieve an optimal product.



Research

Research in Computer Aided Product Development

The research especially focuses on how to utilize numerically efficient surrogate models to aid and speed up analyzes of computationally demanding computer models. These models can be FEM/CFD-models or complex dynamic models.

Design Automation Lab

Product development was revolutionized by the introduction of the first CAD software in 1963, a digital drawing board called Sketchpad. The premise of the innovation was to automate a manual, repetitive and erroneous draft-drawing procecess.
