LEADING THE WAY IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND INTEGRATION OF VIRTUAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGIES FOR INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS ACROSS THE PRODUCT LIFECYCLE ENABLING INDUSTRY TO COMPETE WITHIN INCREASINGLY CHALLENGING GLOBAL MARKETS.
Our multi-disciplinary team provides expertise in the creation of innovative solutions, incorporating integrated
virtual prototypes and simulated processes and environments to enable engineers to explore design and
manufacturing possibilities, anticipate and resolve issues early in the development lifecycle and deliver
maximum product performance, cost effectively.
The Virtual Engineering Centre’s unique ‘sandpit’ model allows technology organisations to enhance their
capabilities through virtual innovation, accessing academic research and the latest scientific and technology
infrastructure. Our approach can be applied to engineering product development, production implementation,
through to training and customer support. Our capabilities are complemented by accessing our extensive networks
to maximise the opportunities for innovation and collaboration.
Delivering bespoke solutions, we work with clients across a range of sectors including, aerospace, automotive
and energy through both individual commercial projects and collaborative R&D programmes.
AUTONOMOUS AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEMSThe Autonomous and Intelligent Systems team provides a framework for
integrating, testing and evaluating performance of autonomous systems
software through simulation of virtual prototypes and their environments,
enabling de-risking, assessment of new concepts and support for
certification. Working with both airborne and ground based robotics, we
develop test harnesses at appropriate levels of fidelity to cover the whole
product development lifecycle.
Our new Robotic Autonomous Simulation Laboratory (RASL) supports
sectors including nuclear, space and energy and is primarily targeted towards
human-robot interaction, safety and reliability.
The VEC works closely with the Centre
for Autonomous Systems Technology
(CAST) which provides academic
expertise in autonomous systems,
combining research excellence in
areas such as software autonomy,
verification, autonomous sensors,
communications and data fusion from
across the University of Liverpool.
VIRTUAL TEST AND ENGINEERING RELIABILITYThe Virtual Test and Engineering Reliability team provides knowledge and
expertise across the areas of multi-body and structural dynamics, durability
and optimisation for sectors including automotive, aerospace and the
built environment.
Advanced modelling and simulation tools are used for product development
where virtual test environments are created using scientific workflows. We
have specific expertise in the development of bespoke frameworks which
enables organisations of all sizes ease of access to and full exploitation of
High Performance Computing facilities, resulting in competitive advantage
by significantly reducing the time taken to deliver the analysis of multiple
complex scenarios.
The VEC works closely with, and has
access to, the latest research from
the University of Liverpool’s Institute
for Risk and Uncertainty, a multi-
disciplinary research team, including
experts from engineering, mathematics
and computer science, architecture
and environmental sciences.
VIRTUAL DESIGN AND MANUFACTUREThe Virtual Design and Manufacturing team uses the latest specialist 3D
visualisation and physics based simulation allowing organisations to explore
their designs and optimise manufacturing and maintenance processes in a
highly interactive and intuitive way.
Combining the latest technologies to optimise the immersive environment,
our bespoke Virtual Visualisation Laboratories, integrated virtual prototyping
and simulation provide engineers and other senior decision makers with
greater insight in their product or process, enabling evaluation of multiple
solutions and speeding the decision making process.
The work of the VEC’s Virtual Design
and Manufacture team
is underpinned by the latest academic
research and expertise from the
Industrial Design group based within
the School of Engineering at the
University
of Liverpool.
