Objectives
Numerical Modeling and Simulation is increasingly used as a complement to Experimental Modeling and Analysis and as a design or certification tool in engineering applications. However, after more than thirty years of worldwide research efforts around Adaptive Modeling and Simulation, the problem of properly assessing and controlling the quality of the numerical solutions is still relevant, as the design of sophisticated engineering systems requires increasingly complex and coupled modeling, which leads to increasingly time-consuming computations. Adaptive approaches, which provide reliable and cost efficient modeling and coherent coupling of different scales and mechanisms in a unique model, are more strategic and indispensable than ever.
