Previous projects
On this page, we gather and update information about those MORE SIM projects that have ended. Currently, projects that have ended are: SANTTU, X-GEN, RING, LEVITOI and AITOC. On the bottom of the page, you can find link to each projects’ project page.
Modelling reality through simulation
All finished projects have been using some kind of simulation-based techniques and other digital tools and technologies as primary parts of the project. Most common techniques and technologies used in the projects have been:
- Digital Twins: SANTTU, RING & X-GEN
- Real-time or physics-based simulation: SANTTU, LEVITOI, X-GEN & AITOC
- AI applications: SANTTU, RING, AITOC & LEVITOI
Contribution to sustainability
Increasing sustainability, circularity and enhancing sustainable development have been important themes and topics among the projects; many projects even aimed to these as their main objectives. In practice, contribution to sustainability has happened by creating solutions to increase the lifecycle of materials or structures and to enhance the performance of products, both leading to longer user times and reduced waste. Similarly, creating new solutions whether as materials, products or services to navigate the climate change or lower the carbon footprint have been impactful actions.
Besides environmental sustainability, also social and economic sustainability have been major themes among the projects. For example, RING aimed to create more jobs for the South Karelian region and improve the livelihood of the area, which both contribute to the well-being of the local people. Economic sustainability has been seen through the cost reduction yet simultaneous sustainable economic growth that the new digital applications and tools are expected to bring to the companies involved.
Impact and results
All projects have had significant research impact by resulting in new solutions, inventions, tools and technologies. Likewise, a significant aim and outcome of many projects have been to create concrete and valuable solutions for the companies involved and help them to develop their own specific needs and user cases.
Partners
Due to the technical and engineering nature of the projects, many companies involved have been from the technical industry. More specifically, heavy machines, manufacturing, transportation, mechanical engineering industries and a lot of companies under digital business and services. Besides these industry partners, most projects have been involving other research partners, like different universities, public organizations or research centers.
