The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council has joined forces with car-maker Jaguar Land Rover for a £10-million virtual simulation research programme.
The research institutions involved in the scheme are Loughborough University, the University of Leeds, the University of Cambridge, and Warwick Manufacturing Group at the University of Warwick.
The programme will be split into projects including analysis of the vehicle as a complex system, multi-physics and multi-functional simulation, driving simulation, high-performance computing and simulation knowledge mining and abstraction, and visualisation and virtual experience. The EPSRC said in a statement that the research will help manufacturers such as Jaguar Land Rover to develop complex vehicles more quickly by giving their engineers a better idea of what a design might achieve.
