Summary: Numerical methods and modelling techniques for engineering structures of the built environment are immensely important in order to design safe, efficient and economic structural systems. Advances in design and analysis methodologies enable interdisciplinary simulation frameworks, which hold the potential of considering a multitude of parameters throughout a structure’s life cycle. This session addresses the latest developments in the field of numerical modelling and analysis of engineering structures, aiming at fostering discussion and exchanging ideas.
The scope of the session encompasses the process of numerical description and modelling from a geometrical and structural perspective, including interactive and parametric design and analysis procedures aimed at generating “digital twin-ready” models. This includes developments in analysis methodologies and frameworks towards digital twinning as well as multi-physics simulation. Anticipated contributions include (but are not limited to) integrated parametric design and analysis frameworks and model updating techniques, FEM, IGA, DEM, MPM and FCM as well as CFD and FSI.
