The TERATEC 2022 Simulation and Digital Technologies Trophy, innovation category, was awarded to Catherine Lambert on June 14 during the TERATEC 2022 Forum.
This trophy rewards CERFACS and Safran for the development of the AVIP code capable of simulating new generations of electric motors for satellite propulsion. Thanks to the use of unstructured meshes and innovative numerical techniques, AVIP makes it possible to build digital twins of real engines.
Congratulations to all who contributed to the project: Willca Villafana (Cerfacs), Guillaume Bogoposlky (Safran), Benjamin Laurent (Safran), Olivier Vermorel (Cerfacs), Bénédicte Cuenot (Cerfacs)
And a big thank you to our partners: INRIA and Ecole Polytechnique (POSEIDON project)
