Research theme

AI-based Thermal-Fluid Simulation Leading to Automated Product Design

Business Plan

In current product design, simulations take time and are limited in application. RICOS aims to develop an AI-CAE system for thermal fluids using proprietary AI technology highly compatible with physical phenomena to solve various issues in analysis. Customer needs have already been identified, and the development system will be swiftly introduced to the market and expanded for sales.

Research Outline

In this R&D effort, in the area of thermal fluids (and related fields), we aim to 1) complete the AI algorithm that will serve as the core of the system to be provided to customers and achieve the prediction speed and accuracy they require, and 2) implement a system for the thermal fluidics field that uses that algorithm, identify the functions that customers require, and set a goal for development and implementation.
