Innovating requires a constant search for knowledge. We aim to keep you updated of what happens in simulation in the industries with which we work.

Underground nuclear shelters

Principia has gathered considerable experience in evaluating the effects of terrorist and other explosions, including nuclear blasts.

Less plastic

For plastic containers realistic simulation can minimise the raw materials usage and the associated tax cost.

MODSIM: simulation-driven modelling

Simulation-driven modelling and design (MODSIM) empowers your engineering, design and analyst teams to stay one step ahead.

Can virtual simulation replace real-scale fatigue testing of materials?

Virtual simulation appears as an interesting alternative to replace, at least partially, some physical fatigue tests during the design and...

Birds striking planes

Principia has conducted bird strike simulations on leading edges and other parts of a number of commercial and military aircraft,...

Lightning strikes on aircraft: numerical simulation

Virtual testing using electromagnetic and multiphysics simulation allows engineers to investigate the behaviour of the aircraft under a variety of...

Finite elements, origami and milk cartons

In the process of designing a new container the best option is to make use of numerical simulation by finite...

Integral bridges, jointless?

Integral bridge design offers the advantages of structural monolithism because of the absence of joints and bearings makes construction easier...

Realistic simulation at the service of the design process

The realistic simulation tools are accessible to allow conducting comparisons between the basic design alternatives without a specialised knowledge of...

Building vulnerability to terrorist explosions

he design of many buildings and infrastructure must take vulnearbility threats into account. And, short of full-scale or real-life testing,...

Understanding how microwave radiation can be better contained

Using simulation software, mechanisms like window mesh and door fins can be optimized for minimal microwave radiation leakage.

Simulation and the Digital Twin as an engineering opportunity in packaging

We participated at Hispack 18 talking about the contribution of the digital twin to enable an enhanced collaboration of all...
