Project overview

National Center for research in HPC, Big Data and Quantum Computing Leaded by University of Rome La Sapienza, the Spoke 6 of the NC on HPC, named “Multiscale Modelling & Engineering Applications”, deals, on the one hand, with the computational aspects related to “multiscale modelling” and, on the other hand, with the use of HPC and Big Data tools for applications in the various fields of science and engineering. The objectives range from the multiscale modelling of complex cybernetic/physical systems that evolve on multiple scales of time and space, to the development of models, algorithms and codes capable of exploiting the capabilities of high-performance computing resources. The Spoke 6 involves in addition to 9 Universities and the Italian National Research Council (CNR), multiple industrial players including ENI, Fincantieri, IFAB, Leonardo, Thales Alenia Space, Terna, Ferrovie Italiane, Engineering.

Project overview

Two Flagship Projects: FP2.7 and FP2.8
  • The FP2.7 project, titled "Virtual Reality Ship Bridge Training Environment" is an initiative aimed at increasing the MSC-LES lab capabilities in the area of ship bridge crew training through the use of Immersive and Real Time Virtual Reality environments. Focused on ship bridge operations, the project's primary objective is to create a demo version of a training environment that closely emulates the physical layout and instruments of a ship's bridge, integrating main navigational aids. The project endeavors to provide an initial prototype of training environment that improves operational efficiency, reduces incidents, and ensures the preparedness of navigators.
  • The FP 2.8 includes two different parts. The first part is related to the application of Industry 4.0 methodologies and technologies in the healthcare domain. This part aims to use industry 4.0 enabling technologies such as different simulation paradigms, advanced multibody systems and virtual sensing, virtual prototyping, generative design and machine learning, etc.) to achieve synergistic and integrated approaches in product and process design with particular attention to the biomedical engineering sector.The second part is related to the real-time modeling and simulation (RTS) of Hybrid Generation Systems Powered by Renewable Sources (HGSPRS), using Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) applications.
