Despite causing millions of deaths and trillions of dollars of lasting economic damage, Covid-19 was much less damaging than many previous pandemics. We explore how engineering simulation will help fight the next pandemic.

For Bring Your Kid to Work Day, Ian McGann talks to his son about how Simcenter is used to design and build wind turbines.

To avoid the worst effects of the climate emergency, we will have to reduce our individual emissions to zero in the next 28 or so years. In this blog, I will focus on some of the practical and pragmatic things that I think are relatively easy to achieve.

From MARS Rovers to Earthquakes, In this blog, I am going to explore five essential industry themes that are represented in the Realize Live Europe Agenda and that you simply can’t afford to miss.

Manufacturing anything involves taking random combinations of atoms (usually manifested as a raw material) and processing them into a useful product. This takes huge amounts of energy, and causes lots of emissions.

In this blog, I want to explore how engineers are beginning to use machine learning and artificial intelligence to amplify an individual engineer’s knowledge, increase the amount of learning provided through simulation and test, and how that accumulated knowledge can be transferred between projects.

87% of the greenhouse gas emissions from a burger come from the beef. Find out how simulation is helping to design the cruelty-free, low-carbon, lab-grown burger of the future.

In the midst of climate emergency 63% of our electricity still comes from burning carbon dioxide belching fossil fuels, that kill millions of people every year. We investigate how simulation is helping to deliver a low-carbon future.

Since the industrial revolution human civilisation has become increasingly dependent on the combustion of large quantities of fossil fuels. Engineering a future without them is the biggest challenge our species has ever faced.
