The REMODEL programme has officially commenced, marking the start of a five-year research initiative focused on advancing geometry handling and mesh generation for high-performance computing.
Bringing together leading researchers from Swansea University, Imperial College London, Queen’s University Belfast, King’s College London, and the University of Edinburgh, the programme aims to address one of the most significant bottlenecks in modern simulation workflows: the preparation of complex geometries and generation of high-quality computational meshes at scale.
As simulation continues to play an increasingly central role in engineering and scientific discovery, the need for efficient, scalable, and automated workflows has become critical. REMODEL will develop new algorithms, tools, and methodologies designed for emerging Exascale computing environments, enabling more accurate and efficient simulations of complex systems.
The programme is structured around a set of interconnected work packages covering geometry handling, hybrid meshing, adaptive mesh generation, machine learning for mesh prediction, and multi-physics integration. Together, these efforts aim to deliver a step change in simulation capability.
Over the coming months, the team will begin collaborative activities across all partner institutions, including technical development, knowledge exchange, and early-stage integration of core technologies. Regular updates will be shared as the programme progresses.
