CFCP

As part of the cutting edge collaborative partnership with Holden Innovation, VPAC Centre for Computational Prototyping (CCP) provides expertise in Virtual Engineering, Manufacturing and High Performance Computing Services.

Our team of engineers are working on specialist R & D projects which involve the creation of new paradigms in designing, development and testing engineering innovation while reducing the costs of prototyping and manufacturing lead times.

Catering for the specific field of Computer Aided Engineering, Wembley, the Itanium 2 Cluster is equiped with FEM, CFD and Visulisation software including Nastran, LS-Dyna, Flunet, StarCD, Abaqus and EnSight.
