Simulation Center

Computer simulations are based on mathematical models of phenomena in areas such as physics, biology, economy etc.

Simulations are used to predict real world behavior, allowing us to study and learn about the real world under idealized conditions which can not be achieved in a laboratory. Applications are wide, including nano-science, contact mechanics, robotics, bio-mechanics and computer animation.

Projects

Here is a list of some of the projects managed by the simulation center

• Conforming Contact Manifolds for Multibody Simulations

• Disjoint Domains Interactions Framework for Hyperelastic Simulations

• Multiphase Flow of Immiscible Fluids on Unstructured Moving Meshes

• Numerical Methods for Linear Complementarity Problems in Physics-Based Animation

• RPI-MATLAB-Simulator: A tool for efficient research and practical teaching in multibody dynamics
