Interface Design for model coupling

The research group “Design of Interfaces for Model Coupling” focuses on the identification, analysis, and structuring of interfaces between models, sensors, data sources, and process steps in manufacturing. It investigates how physical, feature-based, abstract, and data-driven interfaces can be interconnected and standardized to ensure consistent information exchange between different systems.

Core topics include the definition and abstraction of interface types, the linking of simulation and measurement data, the integration of multiscale and multiphysics models, and the management of uncertainties. Furthermore, the group examines how material properties, process parameters, and system behaviour are interrelated, and addresses the coupling of different manufacturing processes.
