Modelling and Simulation

The group Modelling and Simulation develops and implements new software:

Process simulation of beam-based additive manufacturing in powder beds
Multi-criteria optimization for alloy development
Process simulation of foam formation

The aim is to explain process dependent phenomena and to predict new process strategies / alloys. Therefore, the underlying effects are physically modelled, numerically implemented and experimentally validated. Different numerical approaches are applied, like the Lattice Boltzmann Method, Finite Difference Methods, Cellular Automata and probabilistic and deterministic search algorithms.

Welcome to WTM

Welcome to the Chair of Materials Science and Engineering for Metals (WTM) of the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg

Material development is closely linked to process engineering (casting, sintering, 3D printing, forming, joining …). More efficient materials make new demands on primary shaping and forming technologies, better-to-process materials master manufacturing challenges, innovative production technologies create great potential for further materials development.
The research at the Institute WTM is focused on new process technologies and the relations between process, microstructure and properties of metal-based materials.
