NMP-2004-3.4.2.1-3 - Methods of computational modelling of multifunctional materials

Computational modelling has become a major tool to understand materials properties, as well as in their design and industrial use, due to the ever increasing computing capabilities. Numerous methods are now available, ranging from ab-initio calculations and molecular dynamics to the macroscopic finite-element techniques, and the all-encompassing multi-scale approaches.
The expected CAs should focus on the coordination at European level of multi-scale computational modelling activities linked with standardization, dissemination, validation and use of computer models, codes and techniques in the domain of multifunctional materials, and contribute to strengthen links between different research initiatives, such as EUREKA, COST, national, regional and Commission projects.
