Ohio State University says it is looking for researchers and additional industry partners for its Simulation Innovation and Modeling Center in Columbus, Ohio. Honda Motor Co., which provided half of the center's $10 million initial budget, is the facility's primary sponsor.
The center, which opened last year as part of OSU's College of Engineering, held an open house this week. The one-room research center has 20 high-powered workstations and computer-aided engineering tools to aid carmakers and suppliers in all aspects of vehicle design and manufacturing.
Ten faculty members support the center, which enables students to collaborate with industry experts to improve the accuracy of simulation tools and test new materials and designs. One current project to develop a lightweight hood is using advanced airflow modeling to test the durability and NVH characteristics of the design at various vehicle speeds.
The lab has a data connection to Honda's R&D team in Raymond, Ohio. This allows the partners to quickly share information and perform complex simulations more efficiently.
The center also works with a handful of other industry partners and aims to add more. Greater collaboration will further reduce R&D costs, drive innovation and speed time to market, officials say.
